hi, I want to import a EVO 7 from NZ to sydney. Would someone be able to tell me all the costs involved like compliance and taxes and about how much they would be.

Also the procedure of importing and any other tips would be very helpful.

Thank you very much

Its a 2001 factory standard Evo 7, the only mod is 17 inch volk racing alloys.

as far as i know, it's the same as doing it from japan.

go to www.j-spec.com.au or www.prestigemotorsport.com.au -

both have import calculators. Instread of the yen FOB price, just use the cost of the car at the moment in AUD.

budget roughly $4000 for Evo compliance? not 100% on that.

will need a set of factory rims i think too. Add that to the cost.

some of the evo compliance varys i think from $5000-$7000

not sure on current costs if its came down.

The new sevs stuff can be very tricky tho. you WILL need to remove teh alloys any exhuast etc. car has to be STOCK STOCK STOCK.

ive heard of a few evos being sent back......

mick

Evo 7 private compliance is $5,500 + GST + tyres @ CROSSOVER CAR CONVERSIONS, FERNTREE GULLY, VIC.

or

$4,750 + GST+ tyres @ RECREATIONAL VEHICLES PTY LTD, NERANG, QLD.

* Rec Vehicles said that they would charge an additional $2k for new cat and brake pads if the car had done >= 80,000km.

It's possible to get a grade 4 with 60-70 on the road in QLD for $30k, provided the pads don't need replacing. They seem to be coming down and 1 AUD = 86 YEN atm. I'm just not sure that the build quality is as good as Nissan or Subaru.

for a good EVO7, you are looking around $40k+ on road.

but since you own the car in NZ, if you are the australian citizen, do it as  a private import, if not, get the cash ready. looking around 10K for everything up. that include shipping, compliance, and rego.

Is importing a car from NZ more cost efficient?

    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
