Importing from NZ is exactly the same as importing from Japan.

You have 3 options:

1/ SEVS....there was a small gap in dates before Nissan released the 200sx in Aus, so if it was built in those dates and someone has compliance you can bring it in. It will need to be returned to standard for compliance. About $5k ish.

2/ Personal import. If you have owned it overseas for 12 months and can prove it you can bring it in as is. Just pay rego under $1k

3/ Race/Rally import. You can bring it in as is but can only drive it to and from events, practice and workshops. Just pay rego under $1k

According to the DOTARS website, the S15 was sold locally to the Australian market from September 2000. This means that the only ways you can bring in a 2001 S15 are Personal Import, and Race / Rally..SEVS is not an option for you.

Just remember for Personal Import the car has still to meet the registration requirements of the state you are in. Things like the bonnet pins, the height of the car and carbon bonnet (from what I can see) may be a problem for you.

can u import a WRX STI under sevs?

No, only as race/rally or personal import.

S15 you can if it was made before/after? Sept 2000, as Duncan said there is a small window. They were available in Japan before or after they were started/discountinued here. I forget which way around it is, we either got S15's a little later than Japan started selling them, or when Nissan Oz stopped selling them here, they were still available in Japan. One of the two
