I am looking at R32 GTR and there is more variety and relativley better prices in the eastern states than in WA.

If anyone has bought from over east and brought here, please share your experience including the shipping and licensing etc and any hassle with getting it over the pits etc (if any)

Cheers

I bought my GTR from Canberra when I was living in Vic and didn't transfer reg until i got over here.

I think I paid $1300 for it to get over here by truck, which is obviously a bit more expensive than it is by train (roughly $800) but at least it wasn't going to get taken off or driven until it got to the depot over here.

I'm still in the process of getting it registered as I haven't managed to find solid work since moving here, but PITS inspections are similar to any of the other states. With the exception that coil overs, pods, etc. only require a permit and don't have to be engineered. If I had my time again I would have waited and bought from over here. It's cost me over $2500 to this point and I still haven't got it registered. So if you find something you like over here and not have to worry about the logistics etc. then that is what I would do.

Just my 2c.

Cheers mate. I would rather buy local also but there is F*** all variety in WA and prices are relatively higher for no valid reason

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
