Getting a friend to export a R32 GTR 89 .

[MINES_DATSUN]

Hello,

i have a friend in japan , that is getting me a r32 gtr for about 300-500 thousand yen , these are 89 models and also i was wondering if i can import them to australia without hassles ? and also how much would it cost me about if i pay 500,000 yen just say. ??

Thanks

um

didnt you already "own" a R33 GTR?? and now you don't even know if you can import a 500,000y GTR?

get off the computer and stop building a make believe world or all youll end up with is a bunch of imaginary friends.

[MINES_DATSUN]

who said i cant have 2 cars you dork ? . you suck badly. yes its about 500,000 yen dick.

[sewid]

Yep. if you can get the car here and landed for 500000y then go for it. infact, buy 10 and sell them at at least 200% profit.

would i be right in assuming that 500,000Y = approx 5,600AUD???

6400

bit much for a 89 gtr

How about making sure this one has oil in it before you drive it.

[DJ984]

cheerz fats... whats the conversion rate?... i had to do a rough estimate using US list price from around april... that's all i got on my desk here @ work...

6400 too much for an R32 GTR??? hmmm... i paid 17,250.00 for a fully complied (93) R32 GTS-t with a 2 year warranty and scheduled servicing.... hmmm.... 6400 sounds sweet to me...

Yens around 79.xx at the moment

[DJ984]

cheers.

[fatz]

yea na its pretty cheap shoul dbe in good nic for that price i recon

[DJ984]

OK, I'm starting to get a bit lost here... what would an average skyline (say for example an R32 GTS-t) cost from Japan?.. Non complied or anything, just the car...

[MINES_DATSUN]

about 1 - 2 grand . 3 at the most.

[DJ984]

HOLY SHIATTTEEE!!!!! I was thinking like 9ish....

How much to bring it over here? The reason i ask is i have been thinking of getting another R32 GTS-t for a drift car....

[DaiOni]

real prices were listed in recent thread by me, do a search

[MINES_DATSUN]

there can be some for 9. but who buys em no noe.

ive got a friend in yokahama area. he can get them real cheap. mostly r32's are real cheap the rest would be expensive. since there is a 15year rule going on.

[DJ984]

DaiOni: cheers man, I honestly never realised they where that cheap... i think i'll have to save up and get one so i can start drifting (As i see drifting on public streets as just plain stupid)...

So, how much would it cost to bring one over? if i where to bring 2 over (me + a friend) would it cost less? (ie 2 cars in same boat = less fuss etc?)

if you don't want to post here and clutter up the thread with off-topic convo could you email me at [email protected] please as I have a whole heap of questions...

Thanks again dude.

Dave.

You should start your own importing business. You'd do really well

[Guest darrinspencer]

The Government has recently changed the 15 year old rule

You have to wait now unit the car is actually 15 yrs old

example

8/1989 model (when 32 gtr started)

you have to wait till august 2004 to import it.

There are some coming in January 2004, because people got in early for approval before the rules changed about 2 months ago.

This will try and stop a flood of cars in January

32 gtst

32 gtr

mx5

300zx

sw20 mr2 turbo

etc.

I paided 400000yen fob $6100aus. for my 95 gtst turbo manual 61,000 in nov 2002.

exchange rate was 68 yen/Aus$ at today's rate 79 yen $5063 save another $950

it cost me all up landed in Australia $9300

plus $2200 compliance plus tyres.

total cost $12,500 plus rego and tyres.

at the time you could not by a 95 for under $19-20,000.

If you can get a 32gtr for 500000 FOB (free on board which is export costs in japan.

total cost in Australia with modifications done which are required would be approx $11,500 plus rego.

That is a cheap GTR.

If you can get a invoice for less than you paided (say300000yen) you can save more by only paying 15% duty and 10% gst on the that amount

that will save another $600 approx.

For all the knockers out there you can get GTR for this price.

If you own a 32 gtr or any other car listed above, expect the price to drop heaps by the end of 2004.

A mate of mine is in Japan at the moment filling his next container, and can buy

GTIR pulsar and 33 4 door non turbo 32gtst, silvia/180sx from about 40,000yen ($500) un-damaged.

Hope this this helps.
