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?

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • 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
