Anything I should know I thought since it's already complied to Australia It should'nt have much drama getting into nz as I thought Aussie is stricter with imports

Do I have to pay G.S.T on top of what im already paying? Is it guna pass the emisions test having exhaust system It's got converter but hoping it's not to loud as well

Any help would be awesome

I've had a quick dig through the NZ import regulations and I think if you are planning to import the car as just a regular import into NZ it might not be possible. If there is a special provision for bringing your own personal car with you when immigrating permanently (which I didn't look into) then that might be a different story, and such a rule might exist.

It's a lot of legal and technical documents and not very clear so please research it yourself as I'm not 100% on this, but I think that a C34 Stagea can't come in for two reasons: First, it doesn't meet the necessary front impact standards for which it seems most cars need to be around 2000+ models (and 2000+ designed or earlier designed with that standard in mind, which for a car which first came out in 1996 is unlikely). Second, the emissions standard now needed for NZ since 2008 is Japan 00/02 or Euro 3 or ADR 79/01. Your car won't have been complied to 79/01 in Australia and Stageas having a GF emissions code (GF-WGNC34) which seems to corresespond to the Japan 98/xx standard is not good enough for Japan 00/02 which is what you need. Sorry.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
