Hey guys, just going to give this a go.

Im living in Brisbane and I have my R33 back home in NZ and i was wondering a few things.

As it is my car already i wanted to know what the cost is to bring it over here.

It has no Warrent of fitness,

De-registered,

and not certified.

I know, the car sound's dodgy, but i left home in a hurry.

With the things stated above, would i need to get it all fixed before bringing it over?

or would i be able to import it, and then fix it over here?

reason being, is that i don't want my car worked on without my supervision.

cheers.

just do a personal import for this vehicle you can do all the work required here once it arrives providing you have had the vehicle registered in your name for more than 1 year in NZ.

if you need any more info on doing a personal import there is plenty of people on this forum with all the answers.

regards, Phil

It would want to be a REALLY good R33 to be worth the hassle...

well it is, i've had to abandon it and would really like it back with me.

wouldn't be able to give a a rough figure?

i love the thing to bits, its only small things that need to be done to get a RWC

any help would be appreciated,

cheers.

Hey,

My R34's just hopped on a boat from Napier over to Fremantle. I went through Olsen Shipping, cost about $2800AUD which was about $3400NZD for shipping alone - still have to pay customs and AQIS and then on-road costs. Not sure how your going to get on as your cars de-reg so pretty sure you cant bring it over as a personal import.. I had to send back my proof of purchase, registration papers to prove I owned the car for longer than 12 months.

Probably email a shipping company to get the information about personal imports and the requirements anyway. You might find some more information here: http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/importing_vehicles/general/pdf/VSB10_info_brochure_july_2011.pdf

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
