[x000]

can any1 import EK9 Type R here which also can register on road(vic)???

[aaronng]

Because they are not allowed to be imported unless it is through private import (you live for 1 year overseas and also own and drive the car for 1 year before moving back into Australia)

in vicroads, its different

are u sure they vic roads use the locally delivered vins..? cuz the rebuilds ive seen have totally different vins altogether like 6t9repxxxxxx

the only imported hondas that use locally built vins are those rebirths which are illegal to my knowledge.

but i could be wrong

basically... you can't import an EK9 unless it's a personal import... and the ones already here are personal imports or rebuilds like the guys mentioned. there aren't many here, and if u do find one it's generally not for sale (like mine :p).

you're close here buddy. the rebuild scheme afaik has now ceased - i.e. can no longer rebirth cars with the "6t9repxxxxxx" or wotever vin number. the ones that do have them are fully legit rebuilds from pre 2001 (or around there). vicroads knows about these cars, and have recalled/rechecked the majority to see if they pass all aus standards.

and anycar that's rebuilt using a local vin is illegal. there is no legal way to do this i think...

the rebirth scheme has been phased out by vic roads over 18mths 2 yrs ago you can no longer do it


only way now is to import the parts and build replica or private import ( ie u owned it over seas)

ive been looking into this to

[x000]

so add up everything here........ there is no way to get a EK9 type R import from jap if u dun owned 1 or used for at least 12 months right???

can this to be import as a rally or race car? and putting back all other stuffs back in once its landed???? or registed???

[Alexx]

The only other way is to import the car for race/rally use and then put all the parts from the car on to a locally delivered chassis if you want it registered.

However you will still end up with a replica

You will need a cams licence to import the car for race use though
