As in the title is it possible to import HR33 GTS RB20E RWD and ENR33 GTS4 RB25DE AWD 4 doors? 

 

Last i recall we couldn't import due to power to weight ratios being too low for aus to accept compliance but thats just whispers in the wind from 10 yrs ago so i dunno.

 

Cheers if anyone knows :)

I have not been through the process under the new rules, but it looks like any car > 25 years should be possible

https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/department/media/news/how-import-your-older-vehicle-25-years-or-older

However, not that if they are not on the RAV you have to apply and get them approved, this may not be simple (or possible), so best get advice from someone who has been through it

Yes we can import any passenger car over 25 years old. new law came into effect early 2019. replaced the old pre-1989 rule. 

However now the only hurdle is car insurance. i made several inquries for a Nissan R'Nessa GT Turbo and they never heard of the car model. so i doubt you'll be able to insure HR/ENR33 RB20E.

Have you imported one or were you considering? First time I hear of them. Makes me think of a bit more quirky Stagea. Apparently SR20DET though on the same curb weight.

Caldina without the Toyota reliability? No thanks. No thanks to almost any post-Renault Nissan anyway.

I was considering getting one to use as a daily but couldn't find an insurer. yeah i've always wanted one but wasn't eligible under SEVS. SR20DET wagon automatic 90s nissan styling.

      Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!

      I think modifying any car, has to be because you like it, OR, you have an end goal to do XYZ. EG, build the fastest VW Golf in the country etc. So, if you're not setting out to do crazy things like break a specific record, or replicate some certain car, then as mentioned above, find the car that you really like, and modify it. Why? Well, modifying any car isn't a sound logical thing to do it. You do it for the fun of it. And if you want it to be fun, you need to start with something you really like. For some, that would be something like an R34 because they saw one in The Fast and The Furious franchise, for others it'll be something entirely different for some other reason. For me personally, why am I here, nearly 20 years later? I loved cars, all cars, and I wanted a car that drove a certain way, I was about to drop the coin on modifying a VR Commodore (Because I grew up in a family that taught me Commodores were the only cars worth owning). And just before I did that, a friend handed me the keys to an R33 GTST he'd just bought that was pretty much bone stock, it drove EXACTLY how I wanted a car to. Nice handling, the right amount of straight line zoom zooms, and hell, I loved the way it looked. I looked at the R32, it wasn't for me, I looked at the R34, it wasn't quite for me either, mainly because they were too expensive  Price is also why I never bought a GTR back in the day. But I loved the curves of the R33 GTST, interior suited me over the R32, and wambam, thank you ma'am! I bought one. And in the essence of "return on investment" and "Sound financial planning", I've been making the dumbest mistakes ever since. Also, I know of a specific mortgage broker on these forums who has a very well modified R33 GTST making great power for the street and track... Then you could modify it with adding a Samsonas gearbox, Bosch motorsport ABS system, and go have some sick fun! Oh, and then you'll be able to help him get me my next mortgage, because that, like modifying a car, is probably a stupid financial decision for me at this moment the property I want...

      It cost me $2900 all up for a local trailer / towbar place to supply and install. I did think it was a bit steep initially but after all the work involved and seeing the final result I think its well justified.  Hardest part was finding someone willing to customize and fit it up with trial and error basically. Whereabouts are you located? - I had my work done locally in Wangara.
