in the U.S. The audi tt is a joke. Slow as hell. i just worked on one as well installing a system, and they are put together cheap as well.

Don't think it's that simple. It sounds like it's 60k just to get it here. Then he's gotta compliance, blue slip and engineer and finally register it. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on the high side of $80k once done. Has anyone ever imported an FD2? The best thing to do is get in touch with someone who has already and know what you're up for.

dosent it make sense to "modify" the current civi sedan with a K20 conversion and suspension work - for FAR less than $60k ?

You guys are taking this " JDM FTW !" thing way too far

Haha, I was just comparing RRP. Because you CANNOT import an FD2 into Australia unless it is a private import.

To be on topic, 60K is too much to me for an FD2R, I think 50K is probably the maximum I wouldn want to spend on it.

To be off topic, by what measures do you classify the R34 GTR as slow? I always thought it was reasonably quick, approx 5 sec 0-100 and supposed sub 8 minute nurburgring. cheers. :thumbsup:

Yeah I got that. :thumbsup:

So in order to get one you need to buy in Japan, register in Japan, deregister (laws on residing in Japan apply for private import????) and then ship here to then get car engineered. I certainly couldn't be arsed into importing one. Just get a local release and K20a and get aftermarket parts. You'd prtobably end up with a better car anyway.
