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. :)

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
