you cannot private import anything over a 89+model, like u canNot import any R33s unless you are SEVS and RAWS approved in australia, u can private import say 89 model cefiros or r32s etc...

Are you saying I can't import my privately owned (for a year) 2003 V35 Skyline Coupe to Australia??? Please enlarge on this...

[urbanoperations]

nah you can rezz, just need proof of ownership and living in japan etc... for over a year...

but im talking bout silver gts-t, i think he is talking bout living in australia and importing cars over from dealers in japan....

privately import

personally import

despite the apparent similarity, there is a difference - 'privately' assumes that someone is trying to cut out the middleman - or, if your prefer, privately importing as opposed to hiring a commercial importer.

personally importing, assumes that you are personally importing your own vehicle

it's just semantics, but this is the general terminology (or, at least, mine)
