[b16a_integra]

ahhh, all i know is it can be done.

[Toby]

mmm EK Type R sexy

you can allways move to Japan buy a CTR and bring it back with you

[Civic Type R]

still isnt answering the question but merely sidestepping it ...

[b16a_integra]

thats all i know, he bought it from an importer, and im pretty sure its a rebuild. i dont know how it ws done, all im saying is you must be able to do it.

[Civic Type R]

what car was it ?

[b16a_integra]

skyline 33gts-t

[Civic Type R]

o well thats a totally different arguement. Infact there is no arguement.
Skyrice R33 GTST are imported nearly every day here. My girl has one and many mates do as well. You can freely import them anywhere and they're not rebuilds ! but the real car.

As the topic suggests, we are talking about importing genuine EK9 civics, not skylines.

[[[d a n n y]]]

it's hard to get a EK9

let alone the parts

[b16a_integra]

i know a guy oin melbourne who imports all that sort of stuff, type r tegs/civics, and s2k's

[Setanta]

But they are next to unregisterable in NSW as they are rebuilds and frowned on by the RTA. Which is where the original poster comes from - making your point invalid.

I've been down the rebuild and NSW path - it aint fun.

[A'PEXi]

there are like 9 in aus? rebuild would be a good option i think, not sure if you can with 30k tho, try j-spec imports. they allow you to import a whole car (but dismanteled) to use for parts, and yes that includes everything :P
