Watup from little Japan (NZ) soon to be Melbourne

[NECRO]

Hows it going, figured I would sign up on here seen as I plan to be moving to Melbourne near the end of the year/start of next year.

I am currently in the process of building a K20A powered, EJ7 Coupe (they're rare as rocking horse shit over here (NZ)) which I have converted to facelift, as I love EM1's but we in NZ (or japan I believe) didn't get any of them, so i'm having to make my own...

Hoping to have it finished before I head over there, (Melbourne) if not i'm going to look into the cost of shipping the K20 and all the other parts I've collected for it, over there so I can put it into an EM1 or even an EG over there.

Well that's enough waffling here's some pic's of it:
When I got it:

Once I got rid of those ugly ass rims and started getting it sorted:

Still waiting on the last few bits an pieces to arrive and to decide what color I want to paint it...The more I look at the above photos the less I want to keep it black!

Well enjoy and I might even put a build thread on here if anyone is interested?

Peace

Not sure really, thats sort of why I joined up here, to get a bit of an idea of the prices of Car/Motors etc over there, so I can see if its worth taking it over (which I would assume to be $$$$$?) or selling up or even sending the motor/box and afew other bits over and putting it into a EM1 or something over there.

Will definitely store it over here to start with incase for some reason I end up coming back to NZ sooner rather than later.

Any ideas what a K20A and box out of a DC5R, or K24 and box out of say a Euro accord go for in Victoria? they are cheap over here like $5000 NZD or cheaper for K24 and a DC5R K20A can be had for around $6-7000 NZD if you can find one, I did notice one of the sellers on here was offering a "drop in" K24 package for $8000 is that the norm over there as that seems quite cheap?
Proper JDM DC5R's can easily be had under $15000 NZD EP3R's about the same and JDM DC2R's with higher kms (round 200kms) about $5-6000 NZD (so $4000 or so AUD), EK9's under $10000 NZD.

Sorry for all the questions, just SOOO much to learn about things over there!
