Taking My Stagea From Oz To Nz What To Know

[RS4KIWI]

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.
