All These Evo 3 In J-spec.....

[maclarenf1]

I always love the Evo 3 shape and there these ones apering on j-spec that are piss cheap.....and no i dont have CAMS license.....Is there any legal loop whole that can be exploited to register one of these in QLD.....

surely there must be a way.......then i would definatly buy one.

[Paradizzle]

lol, you asking for advice to do some illegal shit?

[Nismo_Boy]

That Import 101 mob have been importing “race only” cars under their own level 3 cams license. Maybe import one for race use through them, then do a VIN swap with a local GSR or something

This is of course illegal, and I’m not suggesting nor condoning this behavior and or activity.

Take the above info how ever you like, just do your research before you do it, as you don’t want to be stuck with two cars, or a car that’s of no use.

so why cant we import an original evo 3 into the country?

[foznice]

we can, but they need to be SEVS complied, which usually means stock. (providing they are on the SEVS list.. pretty sure they are)

The hardcore ones are for race rally use only, so no compliance, no road rego, no nothing....

I *heard* (so who knows really) that someone how imports a race rally car (with CAMS 3) has to sell it to someone with CAMS 3 also, but who knows if thats true.

you can not import an evo III for road use at all , they are not on the sevs list . I assume they fail because they are to close to the CC GSR turbo 4wd lancer misti brought in to australia

there used to be a loophole in victory to let you bring one in and replace a written off domestic GSR lancer with it but that has been closed

you can bring in a race only one if you have or can find someone with a cams license and then you can transfer all the running gear to a CC gsr lancer , the car is virtually identical to the evo III when you are done .

its not that difficult but domestically delivered gsrs are getting rarer and expensive so the total cost would probably almost equal an evo VI which you can bring in anyway

wonder when is the 15 year rule kick in for these cars.......or is that stoped now.....

damn....the shit they make us go though to get a car........

[LTHLRB]

the aussie lancer gsr is a 1.8ltr whereas the evo 3 original is a 2.0ltr.

When it hits the 15 year rule will we be able to bring them in by any chance?

[Iron Chef]

You're dreamin' - the 15 year rule is now pre-1989 until they hit 30 years old...

Bugger....is this true.....can anyone confirm this ?....

[32vspecII]

its true 15 year is over long time now

you cant bring in evo III and I doubt or atleast hope no one is dodgy enough to do vin swaps

you can bring one in for parts and swap running gear to a GSR

Yep true it was all amended last year.

[insanity]

I *heard* (so who knows really) that someone how imports a race rally car (with CAMS 3) has to sell it to someone with CAMS 3 also, but who knows if thats true.

I was under the impression that it could be sold on to someone without a cams licence, but that doesn't mean it could then be rego'd... still for track/race use only...

[insanity]

Bugger....is this true.....can anyone confirm this ?....

where have you been hiding... it was scrapped about this time last year (early Feb). Unless you had docs proving that you had purchased the car before that date... no more 15 year rule....

pre - frikkin - 89

and top quality cars that age are getting VERY hard to find

[LTHLRB]

shud be alright, aussie gsr, bring an evo 3 in and put EVERYTHING onto the aussie gsr, driveline interior bodykit bonnet everything. then flog the evo 3 off with all the gsr stuff on it.

yes but that defeats the whole purpose of buy one for a steal of a price....plus by the time you do the conversion, the cost will spiral like hell......and will cost more than a evo 6 or 6.5 already in AUS....

[dodgybrooks]

If you are keen to buy one, I've just imported mine from Japan as a personal import, thus she is road registerable. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...255&hl=evo*
