Need Help Importing Evo 7


Recommended Posts

hi, I want to import a EVO 7 from NZ to sydney. Would someone be able to tell me all the costs involved like compliance and taxes and about how much they would be.

Also the procedure of importing and any other tips would be very helpful.

Thank you very much

Its a 2001 factory standard Evo 7, the only mod is 17 inch volk racing alloys.

as far as i know, it's the same as doing it from japan.

go to www.j-spec.com.au or www.prestigemotorsport.com.au -

both have import calculators. Instread of the yen FOB price, just use the cost of the car at the moment in AUD.

budget roughly $4000 for Evo compliance? not 100% on that.

will need a set of factory rims i think too. Add that to the cost.

some of the evo compliance varys i think from $5000-$7000

not sure on current costs if its came down.

The new sevs stuff can be very tricky tho. you WILL need to remove teh alloys any exhuast etc. car has to be STOCK STOCK STOCK.

ive heard of a few evos being sent back......

Evo 7 private compliance is $5,500 + GST + tyres @ CROSSOVER CAR CONVERSIONS, FERNTREE GULLY, VIC.

or

$4,750 + GST+ tyres @ RECREATIONAL VEHICLES PTY LTD, NERANG, QLD.

* Rec Vehicles said that they would charge an additional $2k for new cat and brake pads if the car had done >= 80,000km.

It's possible to get a grade 4 with 60-70 on the road in QLD for $30k, provided the pads don't need replacing. They seem to be coming down and 1 AUD = 86 YEN atm. I'm just not sure that the build quality is as good as Nissan or Subaru.

for a good EVO7, you are looking around $40k+ on road.

but since you own the car in NZ, if you are the australian citizen, do it as a private import, if not, get the cash ready. looking around 10K for everything up. that include shipping, compliance, and rego.

Is importing a car from NZ more cost efficient?

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
