Seriously though mate I'm repeating the same stuff I said initially. Check out the links and references I've provided above. Contact a RAWS and ask them how they can assist you throughout the entire process. as they usually have excellent contacts. Importing isn't a difficult process, but it can go horribly wrong if you mess it up. Which is why most people seek out the services of someone like Prestige or J-Spec. They know and can recommend people to carry out each step, and takes the pressure off you having to do it yourself for only a nominal fee.

You just need to look in the yellow pages for a Customs Agent / Customs Broker / Freight Forwarder and speak to someone who will handle a personal (individual) car import. You will have to obviously supply them with necessary details (what ship your car is on and port of landing, and paperwork regarding the purchase and import of your car). They will handle the rest for you including aranging for a Customs / Quarantine inspection, clearance, and payment of duties/fees. Once the ship has docked and your car has passed through Customs, the Customs Agent will give you a call, you pay them money for all their services, and they will give you the paperwork necessary to retrieve the car from the docks. Then the car is transported from the docks to the RAWS. Most RAWS can arrange for this step but you should talk to them.

Beautiful! (The R33, that is. That Civic is just scary)

That man Jim, he can talk. I spoke to him for about 45 min once when I was just window shopping. If you call him make sure you're in a comfy chair

Yep, it's off.

Bump.. brand new... more pics / inspection available.

Don't even need a FMIC.. if you are going the cheap route an R34 GTT intercooler is only about $200 second hand and will be fine for 200kw.

Goods valued less than 1000 will not be taxed if the items are sent via post - see the stickied thread in the 'Imports' section for a link verifying that. There are plenty of Nengun threads around. In short, they are reliable, well priced, and have access to a great variety of parts.

No. Just the swaybars.

You'd have to check with Whiteline. Postage estimate: $10 within Sydney, around $20-30 interstate

Ascension, I suggest you seek out a copy of High Performance Imports magazine, issue 55. It's got a written guide to the whole SEVS process. Available from a newsagent if you're lucky or http://www.hpi.com.au/backissues.php

NO! As I said, the RAWS does all the Import Approval paperwork, not you.

Hi, I have a full set (front and rear) of Whilteline 'Blade' adjustable swaybars for the R33 GTST. They are: Front 24mm adjustable (BNF24Z) Rear 22mm adjustable (BNR11Z) Condition is brand new! I haven't even taken them out of the plastic they were delivered in. Includes the mounting bolts and bushes. See pics, but they speak for themselves. Located in Penrith, but pickup may be possible somewhere else in Sydney (PM to discuss). Prefer local buyer as it would weigh approx 11kg for postage but that's also fine. Selling for $400 pickup / or plus postage for interstate buyer.

How much for shipping to Sydney?

You should have H3C and H3 lights in the 32. Unless it's a newer one in which case it's H3 and H1.

Speak to Matt (aka Hitman [email protected]). He used to work for Haltech and is familar with Skylines. Out at Penrith but he should be able to help you out.

You'd have to check that with a RAWS for those questions. But as for once the car lands, I think you have 100 days to present it to the RAWS workshop. 'Think' being the operative word (it's been a few years since I went through SEVS).

Apologies in advance for the long post but I might as well explain as best I can for your benefit. For some reason the PM website isn't working for me either. I'm assuming you're looking at a 30 series Soarer, built between 1990-2000. These cars are eligible for import under SEVS. So you arrange to purchase to buy a Soarer in Japan through an agent. Buy the car and pay for it. At the same time you should speak to a RAWS (Registered Automotive Workshop) that is eligible to comply Soarers. A list is availablehere. Contact them and check they will have no problems complying it. Then you would ask them to reserve a compliance plate for you, through an agreement / deposit / etc (depends on the shop, some you may just need to tell them). The next step is arranging Import Approval. The RAWS is responsible for applying for this, not you. You supply the RAWS with the necessary details and they will apply to Customs, and can take approx 17 days to receive approval. Next, the car will be shipped. The person holding the car in Japan will arrange for that, once on board it will take approx 2-3 weeks to arrive in Australia, depending on schedules / weather. As the car is due to dock, you will need to arrange Customs and Quarantine clearance. I recommend you enlist a customs agent to handle the paperwork. You should speak to them as the ship is leaving Japan to give them plenty of time. Basically the clearance process should not go past a few days once the ship has docked in Australia. You would then pay the customs broker (they would usually consolidate all the customs and shipping costs for you), and then you would receive the paperwork to pick the car up from the dock. The car should be transported from the docks to the RAWS (they can probably arrange that for you), compliance work should not take more than a werek or two but they would need to wait for a compliance (blue) plate to be sent from DOTARS so they can attach that to your engine bay. Following that, pay the RAWS any sums remaining for compliance, and the car is then yours to arrange registration for. As you can see, ia lot of the paperwork is out of your hands. The link you provided is for a RAWS to actually apply for approval to comply those cars. It is not intended for individuals to use. Vijay

Please search the process has been outlined before. I suggest you have a read of the info on J-Spec's and Prestige Motorsport's websites for the full process. The form you've linked is the wrong one for someone trying to import a car.

All goods (except for tobacco products and alcoholic beverages) may be imported duty and tax free if their value is $1,000 or less. Taken from 'When buying over the Internet' - page on Customs. It also states that goods delivered by post will be sent on direct to the addressee, but items sent via other means would require a declaration to be lodged before clearance. Furthermore, "where there are multiple packages to the same addressee in Australia from a single consignor overseas that arrive at about the same time, then the value of all packages will be combined for duty and tax assessment purposes." Thanks for the heads up Gary!

I'm about 70% sure it says 'Please insert program disk'

Marty how is that SRx3 secured? Anyway, dropped you a short PM
