I'll be bringing back my car to Australia, but I hear that you can bring another car back through some other scheme. Is that true?

I have another car which I haven't had for too long but if I could bring that back that would be good (because I paid a lot of money for it). Can I do it? Reason why I'm going back is because of a death in the family. Don't know if that is a good reason to explain to customs.

Link to DOTARS requirements for a Personal Import. Most immediately, need to have owned the car for 12 months with documented proof.

Other applicable schemes are:

- 15 year rule (car has to be made in 1990 or before)

- SEVS (only certain cars and has to be brought back to stock).

If the car is listed as being eligible under SEVS, then it's possible.

Even if you owned both cars for more than 12 months, you can only personally import one car a year, so you're chances are looking pretty slim, even for a death in the family.

if you been live there for over 1 year and never bring any car during the period, then that is good enought for you to bring one car in, but a lot of paper works.

another car? if it's R33, soarer or something that is commonly imported, you might get some one to do the compliance work for you, otherwirse just leave it, or it will cost you a fortune

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
