Hey - I'm wanting (needing!) to import my r32 gts4 from New Zealand to Australia. What is the easiest and/or cheapest way to do this? Can anyone recommend anything? I've tried filling out the importation approval documents, and am finding the whole thing quite confusing. :P Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. (I just want my baby!)

Cheers :D

Moved your post Deanna..

If your car is a 1989 or 1990 build and you purchased it BEFORE 7 February 2005 you can apply to import it under the 15 year scheme. The vehicle can be as modifed as you want provided it meets the registration requirements of the state. Read here for more info.

If you've been in NZ for over 12 months and owned the car during this time, you can apply to bring it in under the personal imports scheme. You must supply proof that you owned the car for more than 12 months. See here for info.

The third option is importing the vehicle under the SEVS scheme. The car has to be able to be brought to stock condition, and complied by a RAWS accredited workshop who can comply R32s. This option is stricter (eg you can't bring in a car which is damaged beyond certain specifications), and will cost slightly more. Read here for more information about importing under SEVS.

As for doing the forms yourself, if you're having trouble it's a lot easier to get a 'customs agent/broker' to handle all the necessary paperwork for you. Take a look in the yellow pages and ring around to find one that will handle vehicle imports.

Hope it all works out!

I've been in Australia for four months and working for three. Needed to be working for three months to get a loan to bring it over. So I've hit the three month mark, and am keeeeen to get it over here. It's driving me insane (mind the pun) not having it here. I was gonna buy another one, but they're pretty expensive (if you can even find an coupe R32 GTS4), so I figure I'll spend the $ to bring it over.

Thanks heaps for the info - I'm sure it'll be a massive help. :)

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).

      Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed
