yeah sorry man i wasn't mocking you - as xalmon said, there's a certain catch cry that's started this year regards to the Z32..

while you DO have an interesting taste in cars (hell i actually LOVE the way the Z32 is styled.. like a hideously ugly 1980's tom selleck moustache having tryhard quirky ferrari that gets driven up n down miami vice cop shows.... yet still manages to look god damn awesome)

this is ripped off the J-spec wiki... while this is not ENTIRELY true as kristian said, there IS a small small window there... it's.... really really difficult to find..

For 2 seater versions, 1989 to December 1997 models are eligible for import. For 2+2 versions, only October 1996 to December 1997 models are eligible for import.

i'd say not bother unfortunately.. save up your cash a few more months n get a Z33 :(

i actually prefer the 300zx over a 350z. ive always liked em and the only thing thats put me off is age hence why i'm looking at the latest model ones (ive only just recently discovered that they went up to 2000/2001)

if its too much of a hassle getting one imported then might aswell forget about it. like i said it was just a thought

what does a 97 2+2 twin turbo usually cost landed/complied?

thanks

speak to Ben from J-Spec imports if you are interested in bringing in a Z32. He was one of the guys who started the aus300zx forums so he knows them pretty well.

as already posted, '98-'00 can't be imported (besides private imports) but there are a few in the country already but you rarely see them coming up for sale.

there are a few '95 TTs for about 15-16k at the moment on carsales and there aren't too many differences that I can think of between the '95 and '97 model.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
