the title says it all

my cuz in N.Z just brought a s15 for roughly $20,000nz

which is approx. $18,000aus

if i were to go N.Z and buy an s15 then import it here

what do i gotta do?

is it hard?

how do i do it?

i mean i could save myself 8-$10,000 buying it form N.Z

what do you rekon?

Buying from NZ is the same as buying from Japan.

The import laws don't change just because it's from another country, and the import laws don't have "Japan" written into them.

The main thing to check is that the vehicle has no accident damage (it will have to be complied under SEVS), and that the vehicle was not manufactured in the years that it was locally delivered to Australia (e.g. 2000-2002 S15s can't be registered in Australia because they were sold here).

You can bring it in as a race car if you have a cams licence but you cant register it .

He hasn't indicated what year the car was built in.

Here, the S15 is on the SEVS list which means you CAN import it if it was built:

007/00 MA Nissan Silvia S15 12/1998 08/2000

Between December 1998 and August 2000.

Make sense?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
