Just had some info through, 2006 models are the same as 2003 ,except a few esthetic features m35 is m35, if you can complie a 2003 axis autech , you can complie a 2006 model , so im told

From the information gathered through the negative experiences of two (and hopefully not more) buyers, they found out that 2004 and onwards models did not, for some strange reason, meet the emissions standards set by the ADRs or whatever, even though the same engines were still being used as those in the pre-2004 models that ARE eligible for import here.

So, basically, due to some ridiculous red tape -and unless it's changed since then - you can't legally bring in and have complied any models built after November 2003...

There are a few threads on this, and a quick search will reveal more in detail...

not to sound smart but put your original post in the "Importing Vehicles" section of SAU. You will get pretty much a definative response as some of the importers (J-Spec, Carzima, Iron Chef etc.) who are apart of SAU and they do check and post and give adivce when needed.

this will put your mind at ease

It depends on the engine guys. If it is the VQ25DET - Good Luck! If it is the VQ35DE then you may be in luck. Take it from one who knows!

cheers

The reason behind this, is because ADR's concerning emission's were changed after this date. Japan didn't change anything and ergo cars built after this have have yet to be proved to be able to pass the later emission standards.

While technically it COULD be done, you would need to find a damn near perfect car, and then bring it over and TRY to get it tested and passed before the 12 month limitation on compliance kicks in. It would be a very long, tiresome and extremely expensive process.

You would receive maximum kudos for your efforts from everyone to import one AFTER you, but

20 months and still nowhere!

I live for opportunities to bust this one out!

But seriously, a quick search will save a lot of time - for example: try the M35 info thread, which has links to pics anf info on the cars you are looking at.

Where in Vic are you?

Do you need to have the later model?

I can show you my Stagea if you want to get some idea of what they are about (if you have only seen them online).

My question was directed at Ryan because I was to extend the same offer to him...

im located near bachus marsh , but travel all around with work , i would like a later model as possable , so i dont feel im going to far backwards so to speak , i have a 2002 model ford , so a 2003 model stag would kind of defeat the purpose of buying a new vehicle , if you can understand where im coming from. regards alan
