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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
