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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
