There are importers, but opinions vary. I personally went through a guy in Perth.

No, it's done all by phone and internet.

I rang him, after doing some research and hearing nothing but good, said "I want this", he said "No worries", the next morning, my mailbox was full of cars in the specs I requested, and so I picked and chose. I picked the one I've got now, won it at auction, then it got shipped over here, complianced and I went down to Gold Coast to pick it up. All I had to do was to pay for things and make sure paperwork got where it was going. Was good.

importing 4wds has become more difficult with the new sevs rules. I'm not sure exactly whats eligible but I think its about only the 15 y.o 4wd that are able to be imported readily .... I do know you can;t import cruisers anymore because of their power to weight ratio isn't good enough to fit the rules.

First car was mum's Mazda 808, which has now become mine again, because my car before the Skyline was a 1988 Suzuki Vitara:

I gave that to the old girl because she couldn't afford to buy a new one...

And the importing isn't annoying or hard. It's very straightfoward. The guy in Perth gave me a good checklist for the process, but yes, had to wait about 6-7 weeks from the moment the bank gave me the money to the moment I snapped the tail out on the first corner.

Yeah, I will be. Hopefully I won't destroy anything that will divert funds away from the 3L or new suspension (Which I need more than the 3L). Probably only do about 5-6 runs and call it a day. I want a good idea of what it's capable of, not a destroyed Skyline.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
