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

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.

      I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine

      Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me

      Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
