Both will be fine to import, and can also be registered LHD anywhere in Australia. If you're old man wants help with it, tell him to drop me a line.

he's right about the triumph, but the morgan yes its an old car but its the only hand made( completely) car in the world even though the year model is in the 60's it was manufactured in 1994.

the morgans chassis is also made of wood lol is that going to be a problem to import?

and do u have a rough price it would cost to ship them both at the same time? like a bundle deal

+1 it is flat as at the moment ( Oz market is not that much better.)

just found out that its only a problem to import raw wood, so the morgan should be fine ( minus the obvious clean it needs before shipping)

iron chef any idea what the price would be, and is it cheaper to import two than just one?

if you import 2 cars at the same time there is potential to save a couple hundred dollars here n there.. but ultimately no it isn't cheaper because most of it is government charges and labour...

as for the wood thing - please get clued up on modified pre 89 imports.

it basically is there to stop people like hot rodders from bringing in:

Model T Ford w/ chopped roof and 15in wide rear wheels with a custom tub rear, with an LS7 engine conversion... that has been built onto the chassis of a chrysler PT cruiser in 2007.

^^^ it was to close the loophole that gave potential importers the ability to import "pre 89" cars with them being pre 89 purely on face value.

however in the wake... it's affected an entire market of people unable to import their cars. I should also note that import approval is still given the "yes" or "no" approval by the same people and REALISTICALLY not much has changed.

however you mentioned something something something built the car out of wood because you thought it was cool to be Armish in 1994 - :P

in that example its best to speak to australias dept of transport about it.. just in case. would hate to see youre claptraption be declined import approval due to no homework being done..

..that's all i was saying :)

Shoot me an email mate (see my sig) and we'll get you some prices. The wood won't be a problem. To answer your last question, probably not ;)

ok lets clear sumthin up.......the amish were cool in 1994 and still are.....i wish i was amish.....churnin butter and stuff...................and the chassis is wood cause its lighter and easier to replace than steel. dont worry i hang shit to my old man about owning a car made of wood. thanks for the info. and iron chef ill get the details and try to get my old man to sort a date and stuff out with u

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
