I am looking at R32 GTR and there is more variety and relativley better prices in the eastern states than in WA.

If anyone has bought from over east and brought here, please share your experience including the shipping and licensing etc and any hassle with getting it over the pits etc (if any)

Cheers

I bought my GTR from Canberra when I was living in Vic and didn't transfer reg until i got over here.

I think I paid $1300 for it to get over here by truck, which is obviously a bit more expensive than it is by train (roughly $800) but at least it wasn't going to get taken off or driven until it got to the depot over here.

I'm still in the process of getting it registered as I haven't managed to find solid work since moving here, but PITS inspections are similar to any of the other states. With the exception that coil overs, pods, etc. only require a permit and don't have to be engineered. If I had my time again I would have waited and bought from over here. It's cost me over $2500 to this point and I still haven't got it registered. So if you find something you like over here and not have to worry about the logistics etc. then that is what I would do.

Just my 2c.

Cheers mate. I would rather buy local also but there is F*** all variety in WA and prices are relatively higher for no valid reason

    • I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in what MCM were going to do with the NC I really enjoy their banter and occasional collaborations (like Alan from TSF, Ben from BCW, or any of the Haltech guys throwing around their experience), and I have probably watched everything they have put out
    • Not yet, we basically drove it to a private road, got the logs and drove it straight back. I think I need a new passenger seat belt after the mrs squeezed the life out of it. 
    • Sounds insane! 🤤🤤🤤  Do you have any vids of it driving?  A flyby would be nice!
    • The prices of NCs are going to go up thanks to you... and partially the MCM guys.
