I don't know either.

but my experience has been that as long as it is never registered, no-one tracks the car once it arrives.

but again, if you want something for parts surely a half cut is better, cheaper to buy and import and will probably have all the bits you need.

ok, i think its a 1995 rx7, you can only import them for race/rally use...

now, u can import one for about $13000 or cheaper

and in australia they are $30-50000

so if you have lets say a bare shell thats road legal in australia, would taking out the whole of the import and putting it into the aussie car make it legal?

yea i been dreaming about importing series 6-7 exracer rx7. i think you need a ANDRA licences but you could drive it on the road, (in wa) anyway with $12 permit's they only last 48hours so just pick one up every friday arvo and kill everyone on crusies on the weekends. also dont need to have number plates. prob wouldnt happen but its my dream.

so you can do that?

you can buy a race / rally use import, and swap everything into an australian road registered car and itll be legal?

thanks

No you cant do it as the motor is never to be in any other vehicle.

RX7's arent on the FIA list so you have to get a letter from CAMS to bring one in as of the last month.

They are cracking down big time.

nope, the car was under the old LEV scheme and the engine from a half cut...but of course the people who inspected for the blue slip didn't know where the engine came from.

My rally gtr on the other hand has been sitting around with a blown engine for about 6 months and is about to get a new one, but then that engine will be rebuilt and used elsewhere....I'm pretty sure there is no rule about how a part (eg engine) can be used once it has arrived in aus.

    • Hi all. So one of my major issues at the moment is my rear turbo leaking oil on the exhaust (and the general area). I presumed it was the rock hard super old drain hose, which it was not. So now I am in the midst of removing the rear turbo to get access to the banjo bolt that goes into the turbo oil feed. As one of the previous owners accidentally? tore off the OEM oil feed hardline that reaches behind the turbo, they ran braided lines directly to the turbo, presumably PTFE. Now, regardless if the line has rubber or teflon inside, is it just generally a bad idea to do this? I imagine these lines get quite hot being between the engine, turbo core and exhaust manifold. I suppose it's not too far fetched to think the line may even have melted. I'd love to hear your opinions on this as as the replacement OEM hardline piece is 130 per unit. And cutting open the currently mounted line to see inside will mean I just have to get a replacement either way. So far I am hoping maybe the bolt just loosened or (god forbid) they forgot one of the crush washers.
    • If it's a factory 20de manual probably has the 6 bolt flywheel in which case the det clutches won't work as they're 9 bolt.
    • All RB push clutches are interchangeable. AFAIK, the 4cyl ones are not. Different flywheels. The RB small box is not identical to the 4cyl boxes. Just very similar.
    • Hi. I need a new clutch for my gearbox. It is a factory smallbox behind RB20DE NEO. What options do i have? If iam not mistaken the gearbox should be the same as in R32 GTST and Nissan S14/S15? I found some Xtreme Clutch Stage 1 for S14/S14 (i dont know if you know the brand) (UK) OR...is the clutch same as in the bigbox from RB25DET?   Thank you!
