hi all, i'm from SDU in auckland, there's a good possibility that i'm moving over to Sydney in a few months time, so would like to start get to know some ppl in SAU Sydney, been a very active member of SDU in auckland for a number of years now

i was wondering if its possible to bring my car over to Oz, the car is under my mothers and my name, and i've had it for nearly 1 and half a year now, if it does cost, how much would the compliance cost? and also what are some of the other rules?

i have a 1991 R32 gts25 converted to a turbo (as in slapping a turbo on the NA engine, hehe) 5 stud conversion and all

and one other question, if i cant get it complianced there i will sell it in NZ, so i was wondering how much R34 gtt go for these days in Oz, the pre facelift model, 1998-2000 ones, i like their front

thnx very much in advance guys

Welcome

If you can prove that you've owned the vehicle for 12+ months, you are able to import the car without compliance and so forth. However as its in your mums name im not sure of the procedure, or if that loophole exists. Otherwise you would unfortunately be unable to import the car as its too highly modified, and that I don't know if R32 GTS25 are on the compliance listing.

R34 GT-T go upwards of $30k AUD, depending on spec.

sweet as man, sounds good so far, i'm not fussed who owns the car in Oz, jst as long as i can get it there without too much hassle

one other question, is there a site i can go to, to find out what personalised plates are still avaliable? i'm wanting to put on the same one i have in NZ, RB25DE hehe :cheers:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
