okay, back to school for me, make that 600.

"The vehicle would have to be brought back to stock standard for compliance under the new import scheme so is best suited for import as a race car -- although compliance is technically possible given the time, effort and funds."

- that would just defeat the whole purpose wouldn't it.

i know.. i am in love, and R32 GTR is her name :) I just love the little touches the japanese put on the cars when they fully tune them, in the engine bay and things like that.

Such a pity such cars can't be brought into the country anymore like that. Returning that thing to stock would be a crime ! No doubt it will go to NZ or somewhere like that, where they are not so stupid about their import laws.

What I am wondering though, is it possible to achieve the same thing in Australia with the right amount of $ for a similar price of around $60k? Take a base GTR of say $20k (89 vehicle) and throw $40k at it, reckon you would get close to 1000hp ?

Some big power gains are starting to be had down under from GTR's - there probably will be more and more GTR running around reaching those 800hp and built here over the next few years I'd say.

...and those that claim the PowerFC isn't as good as the haltech, microtech and all those units can shut their cakehole :)

Couldn't you import it, buy another GTR already in Australia and just temporarily swap the parts then replace them, get engineering certificates, and sell off the donor car?

Yes mate! Yes! A bit of lateral thinking, and it`ll happen.

Aren`t any of the Import Performance shop owners (in Australia of course!!!) interested in it?
