Hi guys

Ive got a mate in hong kong who has bought a really nice car while hes been over there, he's due to come back here next month and wants to bring it here - does anyone know the procedure/costs for doing that?

Is it much different than importing from japan?

Thanks heaps for the help :D

No different at all, same laws apply regardless of country.

SEVS if he's owned it for less than 1 year, private import if he's had it for more.

I don't see how it might differ from importing from Japan.

What car is it? :D

BMW 7 series

I'll be over that way in 2 weeks. was wondering about the import scene over there.

It virtually doesnt exist - he reckons he's seen one R34 GTR the whole time he's been there (which is a looooong time now)

Unless it falls into the SEVS category there stuff all chance of importing it unless hes lived there and owned it for 12months.

Cheers :wub:

no way! the last few times i went i saw atleast 3 R34GTR's and plenty of other nissans. Evo dominated i have to say tho(saw atleast 4 each day)

tell ur friend to go the street in Mong Kok where they sell car accessories and have garages, as there's shitload of imports always parked on that street

BMW 7 series

Thats a nice car, my 2nd favourite series of cars after the skylines.

Makes a good car for driving to my family friends parties & show off the 7xx to the cheaper 318s they all have. :laughing-smiley-014:

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
