Imoprting My Car

[markyboy.1967]

Hi folks, I registered here a while back and have had a good long read at some of the topics posted.Im moving from sunny Scotland to South Australia ( around Adelaide area ) next year.Now i want to bring my car with me from Scotland (R33 GTR, 1995 car ) and have some shipping prices already.

What i need to know is what do i need to do when i get the car over there and the typical costs involved.Have a look through my previous posts to see the car will bea full stage 2 car running aprox 500bhp in the next few months.Do i need to change anything over on the car to pass any import tests etc...

All help would be appreciated on this matter as i really want to bring my car over due to the work and time i have spent on it...

The car is a 1995 R33 (12 years old ) GTR v-spec.The engine will have R34 N1 turbos and all supporting mods like, fuelling upgrades,ignition upgrades,power FC, boost upgrades--basically everything to run 500bhp.Just about everything else has upgrade parts--brakes, wheels, coilover suspension ( not set to low ), exhaust, interior, sound system, engine fully polished etc....

I have owned the car for 3 years in that time winning many show awards...Its basically i very very nice clean GTR.

I have posted pics before and on other forums but here are some to give you an idea of what the car is like..

Very nice car you have there... and nice pics too. I look forward to seeing it at one of our SA cruises.

Basically it will be a bit of a pain in the arse to get thru our notorious Regency Park inspection depot. Lots of things will need to be removed before they register it here, however you will get away with some gear too.

Power FC, boost controls, turbo timers, coil overs and loud exhaust will not be passed.

Unfortunately he's right...

You will have some trouble getting it registered. The closer your car is to stock, the easer it is to pass "Regency". So you need lots of stock parts and hopefully you can do much of it your self.

Also, maybe post this in the South Australia section of the forum ? Better suited i think.

PS: Awsome ride and cya in SA
