Hi there, im currently in Sydney but im moving back to New Zealand, and i want to take my skyline with me (true love)

what are the rulles about imporing an r32 1989 4 door gtst into the country with modifications done to it, rb25det engine and box. bolt ons, 3ltr bottom end?

there is some kind of frontal impact law that they bought in on imports. i think it has to be post 1996, or 25 years old plus.

also, if you can prove you have owned the car for a year in oz, you dont have to pay import duties.

couple of grand drive on drive off from brisbane to auckland.

then a customs inspection, can be cheap but depends on how much they feel like ripping you. just make sure its as clean as possible, dirt under the guards/ bugs etc.

then a roadworthy inspection around 350-400 nzd plus you have to pay the first years rego then of about 220nzd, and your on the road.

Being modified you will most likely have to get a low volume cert which is around 550 i think. yours is a common conversion here so should go straight through.
