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......

mick

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?

    • I have replaced the larger coolant temp sensor, i do see a smaller one next to it (looks to be just 1 pin) but i assume that is just for the dash? or should i replace that aswell?
    • Check coolant temp sensor ~ symptoms fit the hard hot start/cold start OK scenario --- if sensor goes open circuit, ECU thinks engine is cold and enriches mixture ....works when engine cold, but floods them with rich mixture when hot (Hyundi MAP engines are a bit infamous for this)...
    • OK, starter changed for a spare without much trouble. Neil had kindly left space to get to the top starter motor bolt from above with a long spanner which makes the whole deal much easier, and everything else was neat and easy to get at from underneath. Once the starter was changed everything was good, unplugged the CAS and turned the motor on the starter to make sure everything was free and happy. Onto properly priming the oil and first start. I'd picked up one of these oil prime kit from Boost doc a while back and this was my first time using it.  https://boostdoc.com.au/products/engine-oil-prime-kit?_pos=1&_sid=28c628a65&_ss=r While I'd organised all the fittings to hook it up to my GTR (sump plug to -6 feed and -4 T to tap it in and retain the oil pressure gauge, neither suited on this car as the oil pressure needs to T into 1/8 NPT not -4 and the Aeropro sump has some massive drainplug not that factory whatever it is. So, waiting for a couple of fittings, then I'll prime it and do first start, hopefully next weekend. Other than that going well, there is very little stopping a final alignment, tune then shakedown day
    • Also to mention, i just tested the CAS, seems to be working fine, can hear the pulses inbetween 0 and 180 degrees, another mention aswell, when i let the car sit for about a hour today, i went to start it and it almost fired on first crank, then just completely struggled. Could it possibly be blocked injectors?, maybe allowing a little bit of fuel to seep past allowing it it almost start first crank?
