Ha ha haaaaa! I just got this email from the NZ land transport authority this morning. Cheers NZ_AJ, looks like you were right! Thanks for planting that seed in my mind... Hello Kelly, Thanks for your enquiry in regard to importing your two cars. I advise as follows :- * As you have not...

And the car's not bad either...

Hmmmmm (hums happily) http://gold.gazo-ch.net/dl.php?x=/brown.gazo-ch.net/bbs/25/img/200410/132379.jpg

What? Where the hell did that pic come from? I didn't attach that!!! I haven't even got that pic on my computer!!! Ciiiisco. . .what happened?

Okee dokee, I think it's time to put a cap on this thread, thanks again for all the encouragement to date.

Good thinking to take out all easily pinchable goodies before exporting. I hear so much stuff gets flogged from the docks in NZ and other places. I'll make sure I go and collect the stuff as soon as it arrives in port. I've also got my pilot scale brewery in the shipment, I don't want any o'...

Maaaaate! cheers!

Ta guys, thanks for the support and the advice to go for it. I think it was the right choice. Yeah, I remember that rolling Carlos scene too, it was a beauty! I didn't look like it was gonna stop!

Here she is, complete with 3inch exhaust all the way through, parked outside my house. I had it idling while I was taking the picture and the guy who runs a juku accross the road came over and asked me to switch it off coz it was distracting his students. hehe. Being the nice bloke that I am, I...

Hehe, cheers Seano :-)

Ohh yeah, and there's a perfectly good abandoned BE1 just down the road too; it's been parked up in a bit of waste land for about 2 years with the boot half open. Sick sick sick, not a bad looking caboose the BE1.

Does anyone mind if I put a small pic of my free GT4 on this post? Ohh yeah, by the way Cisco, you remember 'up garage'? (I always think of The Young Ones 'up scumbag!' when I see this shop). I found a black GTRi Pulsar S?20DET with a soccer ball size dent in the right rear quarter being sold...

You're welcome for the job offer Cisco, no prob. Yeah the electronic dartboards should be no sweat, I'll ask Karl (the bar owner where we went drinking in Shizuoka) to tell me how much his one cost and where he got it. Thanks for the 'import' support. I'm determined to succeed by hook or by...

Well, I'm gonna try to get round this somehow, maybe I'll have to get a bare shell that was registered in the past and spend a month swapping all the gear over. As long as the car has been NZ registered at some point I assume it'll be okay because the chassis number will be on record. Anyway...

Cheers for all your input guys. I suppose the worst case is that I import the car, garage it and take my time restoring it while I wait for the 20 year old car thing law to come into effect (if that is the case: cheers A.J.) and then register it. If it can't be registered then I just have an...

Here's my 2yens worth: being able to edit might be useful sometimes, but I agree with Aaron about the Avatars and signatures, they're distracting and a bit...you know egotistical, not to mention crippling to server space and page loading times especially for those with slow connections.

I'm sure there is a way around it but the benefits are skeptical. since my March only has (basically) cosmetic modifications it is probably just best that I strip the bits that I've put on, return the original parts and give the car away to another ex-pat (since it still has over a year left on...

I know this is a March site (sorry guys) but I have got a March so I hope you can bear with me a moment. This is the model which 'fails' the regulation. http://www.rallycars.com/Cars/Toyota_GT4/Street_Celica_ST165.html

From what Cisco told me while he was here, the Australian system with regards to car imports is just as retarded as the NZ one, so not much hope there unfortunately!

The bastards! A new legislation was passed that looks at the issue of frontal impact strength of all cars entering NZ. My March doesn't meet N.Z's new stricter specs and I'm not allowed to send it home when I leave Japan at the end of this year. My car is a 1993 so it's too old to qualify. If it...
