It's all about the car needing to meet certain criteria to be considered a "specialist and enthusiast vehicle" and in this case it did not meet the minimum power to weight ratio of 105kw/ton to be accepted.

It was too slow.

And to be honest I'm not sure of the allure, 34GTT is cheap enough these days surely; the import cost is more than the auction cost.

Oh, okay. I wasn't really thinking of importing an HR34, I was just interested why it wouldn't be allowed to be imported.

Although the HR34 (2000cc non-turbo) can't be imported, you can still import the ER34 which comes in a 2500cc non-turbo version very cheaply .. possibly as cheap as $7,000 landed and complied for a sedan or $9,000 landed and complied for a coupe, and this is for decent cars with around 100,000km genuine and no accident history.

Yeah, I was looking at the 25GT-T sedan, particularly these: https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/skyline/16516335/ https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/skyline/16930297/

Please do not pay much attention to TradeCarView as there are a LOT of scams there and many of the cars either don't exist or are seriously misrepresented.

If this car was real and genuine which there are reasons to doubt already, it would end up with a landed and complied cost around $16,000 in Australia.

This one is a much better price for this sort of car and would end up costing around $7,700 landed and complied in Australia. You would still need to check the car for accident history and make sure it's genuine.

I would strongly suggest auctions as a better place to look, we can get bargains for you there and have every car checked out in person before bidding so there is no guess work.

Thank you for the information. Can you please point me to the websites for the auctions?

Actually I can help you find suitable cars, have them inspected and bid on the good ones. Then once we have a car I will arrange import, compliance and everything else for you.
