Honestly it would depend on how strong those medical grounds are. If you wanted to look into it further, contact the Federal Office for Road Safety. They are the ones who you need to seek approval from if you are importing a vehicle for reasons of disability.

If you just tried to bring it in via Personal Imports, and rego it in NSW (I'm guessing from Newy in your profile) - it would need to undergo conversion, which wouldn't be that attractive / cheap. Not worth it in my opinion.

dodgey left leg after a prang i can still drive a rhd auto but lhd would be easer and a lil unique, if i have to change the dash and everything to rhd it wouldnt be worth it, im only willing to do mechanical stuff to comply, i dont want to really change how it looks in or out

[Drew]

ok, any ideas on how to have a U.S. car (lhd) made to comply with aust adr's?

Make it RHD

I've looked into this already

I doubt that the dodge left leg with fly with them; or any medical condition for that matter... They will just tell you to drive an automatic; or worse yet force you to drive an automatic

As for a conversion it has to be done by someone who is certified to do it; can't just do it yourself; and you will have to change the dashboard and everything for it

It's really not worth it

[simonnowis]

id say go to an importer, otherwise just too many expenses and headaches, not worth it. you rather spend the money on modding a audm car.

Hey guys! Just wondering, if anyone has imported a car with J-spec? I want to know how reliable they really are?

Btw, I want to purchase and import a civic hatchback ek type R from a japanese dealer through SEVS. Is this model allow to be imported to australia?

[kj887]

ek9 type r is not allowed to import to aus through sevs, but personal import will be fine, the problem is u need to owe a car overseas at least 12 months.

Lets say i am importing the EP3R and it cost 15000 correct me if im wrong but will the custom duty and GST be this price?

Custom duty 15000 x 10% = $16 500
Shipping insurance 150 = $16 650
GST x 10% = $18 315

And thats not even complied yet.....

Quite expensive, does any one know what changes to the EP3R are made to make it complied?
