why don't you both strip all the parts to your cars and bring the parts here. your friend can find a s14 easily and you can also find a ek easily too.

[20 til 3]

well we'll see now, i mean we both are going to have enough money to be saved up lol, and a k20a swapped hatch is pretty sick(buddy has one here) but i love everything about my car and it is exactly what i want, but they only go for around 7500 (AU) around here. But when we come down prior to moving we'll most likey look for a car one of the days to bum until we get more situated

welcome mate!

nice car. i say, bring all your parts over esp the rims!

btw, what does your name mean?

[NSPYRE]

2:40 ?? haha :P

[20 til 3]

can i ask why you would want me to bring the wheels? lol

and 2:40 referers to my friends 240sx(he set the name up ) lol

[SiReal]

hehe cos those wheels are rare in australia and everyone wants them!

[20 til 3]

the wheels are rota's lmao, there a dime a dozen in the US and are cheap as hell hahaha, but thats why i dont have centercaps right? you guys dont have rota over there? or not that common?

[SiReal]

we have rota, but that particular model are hard to come by for some reason.

rotas arent that cheap here. 15" for ~700 AUD = ~500USD?

[20 til 3]

well our 16" are roughly 500 american but they are easy to come by used, just in my town alone(140,000 people) there are 10 sets or so of them i just really like them on my car, although i use to have the te37 knock offs but sold them to a friend, there light and cheap enough to the actualy volk/gabs or whatever you would be looking for. thanks for the complements...lol i should post some of my friends rides on here...little bit more crazy than mine

oooooh don't import. No no. Stacks of compliances, paper work, fees, tax... you'll also pay more for insurance of course. My Accord is imported, the guy who brought it over spend thousands doing it, and had it stuck in quarantine for months. Bring everything you can, minus the car itself. Besides, the Left to Right conversion alone will suck your wallet dry.

I'm on the Gold Coast in Queensland near the QLD/NSW boarder, there is a plauge of pretty cars here. Also, we don't need to have our cars checked by the Government/law people each year like NSW. A car only needs a saftey check when it's brought/sold. But unless you work in tourism, don't bother turning up here (gc) without a job already lined up.

I just would love to have my LHD car over there. I think what i will do is move, then buy a beater car.

What is the jobs like? Would there be any jobs that i could do and be able to afford all of my bills? I work at Wells Fargo Bank here in the states, is there any basic banking jobs that would pay rent and let me mod my car alittle?

What would be a good town to live in? I was looking at Newcastle...anyone here live there?

Sorry for all the questions guys, i just want to be prepared.
