hey guys, i have a question about importing a vehicle with a swapped engine. since my dad is overseas working, i am thinking about getting a car there and have him bring it back after a year or two. i'm currently looking at a series 6 FD which has a series 8 engine installed by the owner. the car costs about 10 grand which is a little higher than the average market value but it's really a bargain. my question is will there be any problem when importing it? i believe the engine was from a series 8 front cut. I have no idea about stuff related to the engine number and vin number. will i be able to import a car with a swapped engine? Please give me some advice.

Thanks abflug and DRIFTT for the information. If the compliance can be done by a regular workshop, does it mean the compliance cost will be relatively cheap then?

My cousin will be coming back to Australia to study and he is planning to bring over his rx-7 series 6. He owned it for 3 years now. For all those who had gone through the process, how much did you pay for the compliance? Do you have to use a RAWS workshop? And approximately how long will the process take? Thanks a lot!

Yeah! I should have known it will work. This actually started as a discussion between two of my mates. I bought this up just to see what you guys think. Thanks guys!

Hi guys! I'm new here but I've been reading quite a lot before I registered as a member and learnt so many things. (Well considering that I know nothing at the beginning...) Anyways, here's my questions. I often hear people talking about transplanting a RB26DETT into their GTS-T. But can you actually replace a RB26DETT in a GTR with a RB25DET engine. I know this sounds a bit weird but really I have no idea about this. Just curious. Can anyone help me here? Thanks!
