Getting a friend to export a R32 GTR 89 .

[DJ984]

So.... If i want to import a car just to go on the track (no compliance, no registration etc... i just wanna go drifting)

can i do that now (R32 GTS-t) or will the 15 yr rule stop me until the cars 15yrs old? I havn't really read up on the 15yr rule so yeah....

How much would i expect to pay to have the car landed in syd?

Also... does "FOB" mean it includes exporting? - sorry if it sounds stupid, i'm just trying to decypher darrenspen...'s post...

FOB cost include everything to get a car to the export yard and loaded onto a ship in japan. which is approx 70-90,000 yen.

So if you are going to buy a car make sure the price quoted is a FOB price.

shipping cost to Australia is about $1200-1400.

If you just want to import a car for drift/race you can, it doesn't matter what year (it could be 2001 34 GTR), but you have to hold a CAMS racing licence

I think level 2 or 3 not sure. Not that hard to get.

Otherwise you have to bring it in under the 15 yr rule or full compliance REVS.

The cost of a car 32gtst landed would be from $4000-6000.

kool... now im starting to understand (slowly)... So, how much would it cost me to get a CAMS Lvl 3? I could do this in the mean time while i save for a drifter....

Also, when getting a CAMS liscence, i'm guessing this is a liscence to race am i right or am i way off the mark yet again?...

[DJ984]

Can i go drifting on circuits without a cams liscence?

Do not quote me on this but what i sort of know

You need to join some suit of CAMS approved car/race club and regularly compete in some sort of CAMS approved racing. This will let you qualify for import approval on a vehicle which is referred to as Race/Rally rego.

I am sure there would be someone on this forum that has done it.

Here is 3 sites i look

www.tau-net.co.jp

www.w-a.co.jp

www.bridgeauto.com

Have a look at Bridgeauto under the damaged section stock number 3614

That car is a 8/89 GTR with a stuffed turbo 80,000km

That car sold for under 400000 yen.

add cost of secondhand turbo for about $350 plus fitting

Still a cheap car

Back to the original thread

If you have someone that lives in japan it wouldn't be that hard to find for that price.

The prices quoted in the above sites include most of there commissons.

someone tell me this thread is bs ahahaha

do the sum's if you can count pass 2

in the last year the exchange rate has gone form 66yen to 79 yen saving

about $1500

then you save 15% import duty and 10% gst on that $1500 as well

Being a 89 model you do not have to pay the $6600 compliance fee that it use to be before May this year as only one compliance centre in Australia could do 89 models

Believe me i payed that amount on my 32gtst.

plus the cost of the cars in japan have dropped as they are now 15 yrs old in japan.

No one quoted a GOOD Gtr. It is only a starting price

Good 1989 are still about 650,000 to 900,000 yen which would be about $14000 to $18000 plus rego.

13_devil have you ever imported a car or did you buy yours from a car yard with huge mark-up?

[Kaido_RR]

ahahahaha, not worth a reply.

darrinspencer, why would i want to buy a 15yr old car which would need a engine rebuilt and i hole load of shit ontop of it

great car

[DJ984]

i detect sarcasm.... that's not nice.... we where having a happy little chat here....

13_devil what is your point?

your first post said you can't buy a gtr under 20k it is a joke

then you post a add for a gtr 16k plus

then state a 15 yr old car can not be imported till dec 89 for example.

this was aready stated in a earlier post.

you have grab this add from the Prestige motorsport site which the 16k price includes their $1100 importing fee.

the cars they are selling now need to be stored in japan till dec 2004

by then the rules for 15yr old cars may change again and you are stuck with a car in japan that you may not be able to import.

[Kaido_RR]

darrinspencer, my point is that the condition of the cars will be very poor, and im pretty sure it isn't worth wasting you money on, as you would need to fix so many things.

Also just wanted to point out that the car would need to be stored in jap, untill it could be import and sometimes the cars get damage (broken into), i remember this one member of the fourm who had his rims stolden and windows smash when his car was in stored.

Just tring to say it isn't as easy as it look , alot of things must be taken into account when buying a cheap gtr (or any cheap car)

[DJ984]

yeah, but for someone like me who's gonna throw it around a track... who cares if there's guage holes in the dash or surface rust in places????
