Hi,

Im looking at buying a dr30 skyline, and so far i havn't had any luck finding any in australia. i was thinking about importing one. I've check yahoo auction and USS Auto Auction and notice there arnt many for sale but the ones for sale seem to look ok.

My question is what cost am im looking at getting it reg for the road. do i have to do any SEVS stuff because of its age do i just do a few things?

Im new to importing as i bought my r33 localy, is it best to go to a person to import the car or can i do most of the work myself?

thanks michael :P

VSB 10 - read the section on vehicles built before 1989.

You can do the majority of the paperwork yourself.

Purchase the car, apply to DOTARS for an import approval (plus $50 application fee).

Once you get import approval back, get the car shipped to a port near you. Contact a 'customs agent' to handle the Customs / Quarantine / shipping paperwork for you.

The car is cleared from the docks, you get it transported to a workshop who performs the necessary work for registration. Allow approx $1500 for these costs (side intrusion bars, etc). Check with your state transport authority to see which workshops you can use to provide this work.

Then standard registration procedures.

No SEVS stuff is required.

As for costs, search around this part of the forum. Been discussed plenty of times.
