Importing from NZ

[crispy]

Hey guys/gals
Ive been wondering about importing a car from NZ. I am interested to know what information anyone has on the topic. I want to know how much it would cost to initially get the car to Australia and if the car can be registered on Victorian roads or not. I am looking at a JDM DC2R and im just curious how much i would be looking at if it was imported from NZ. If anyone has any information then that would be great. Thanks in advance

I think it would be the same as impoting from Japan

oh ok.. call me stupid but doesnt NZ use design rules similar if not identical to Australia?

as tegstar said, i think it's the same as japan..
have to own it for 12 months and have evidence of that..

my brother's mate is in NZ now and bought a prelude type S or type R or something...for 11 friggin thousand

anyway
need to own it for 6months (i.e. u have to be physically over there)...and u need to be an australian citizen....and as far as i know, no restrictions on age of the car....so...much less restrictions as japan

So that means you can import a car which is for example 2 years old or even 14 years old without restrictions?

the 15yo rule refers to cars that are 15 years and older..

i.e. 1990 models..
