The series 6 will not be approved for import because it was sold locally by Mazda in Australia, although the series 8 built from late 1999 onwards has been approved .. the current price range for a good 2000-01 model is around $38,000 to $50,000 landed and complied.

Daz - Yeah went and saw MSA on Sat. They said they would take it as thier test car but the aint even a reg workshop yet! They just had it installed so it'll be at least 2 months through them, may as well wait in that case! Still gotta call the other two. I NEED COMPLIANCE GOD DAMN IT! lol. good luck with the approval!

The S15 was not sold here in Australia until late 2000 so we are allowed to import any that were built before then .. it is the same story with the Skyline R32, 2+2 seat 300ZX, Lancer EVO, etc...

There are a lot of dodgy cars that got through via firewall swaps and all sorts of "methods" to get through compliance here. They were never officially allowed, but they got through. I think under the new scheme it will be pretty hard, if not impossible for that sort of thing to happen.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
