Hey as some might know i am in the market for another car, i have been thinking and thinking. I have decided i want a car to use for drift and hopefully enter the drift nationals next year, thats not the point. What i want to know is and yes i searched! what are the prices involved in importing a car for track use?

This thread was alot of help but didnt give me exactly what i was after:

Borrowed this from 25det hope he doesnt mind...

out of all these prices which ones are necessary?

prices all approx

Freight - $1200

Duty tax - 10%

Customs - $500

GST - 10%

Compliance - $3500

Stamp Duty - 2%

Tyres - Depends

also will i need a cams licence if i want to use it for drift?

any help is gladly appreciated. I do not want a car to drive on the streets i already own a 180sx and its enough for the time being. I want something which i can modify, wont have to worry if i hit a wall or the paint gets scratched if you know what i mean.

Do jspec and prestige allow you to purchase cars through them and use it for track use only?

I had in mind either a R34 4 door and make it into something similar to the Blitz R34 in D1 or maybe a 2 door r32.

If anyone knows of someone selling either cars in manual turbo not complied and ready for track use or stock doesnt bother me please pm me. Do not pm me with cars that are registered.

Also i wouldnt mind a R34 4 door rolling shell and building it up. Either way please pm me with offers, pics, prices, info.

This following thread is going to be of some use to you (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=76844).

- From those costs above you wouldn't need compliance or tyres, everything else would still apply (I'm pretty sure).

- The application for import approval would require you to have this prior CAMS experience., ie you can't just say you want to import a race car - see DOTARS link for more info (http://www.dotars.gov.au/transreg/vsb/vsb_10.aspx#5.10)

- Jspec and prestige are more than happy for you to purchase track cars through them..

You need a C3 or R3 licence to bring in any race/rally car, if C3 it is for track use only with import approval not allowing rego and R3 for track, rally and targa type events with approval for street rego but limited use.

Do they ping you for stamp duty ?

Cheers,

Lucien.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
