what kind of car?

do a search for importing cars on here, its often not economical to import something rather than buying it here

Yeah, depending what it is, often better off buying one here.

ive imported a few cars, try having a look on here, these guys are the only id use, importing the car yourself is very easy, especially if you dont plan on registering it

hey guys , im thinking of importing a non compliable toyota chaser jzx100, manual.

i was gunna do this, old thread here, but then found the price to import stuff was more than expected, especially shipping and landing fees (+ gst)

In the end a trueno bzg popped up two weeks later for just over 1k that I bought, was dereg'd but everything went.

I recomend being patient and trying to get one here thats been crashed.

EDIT: but then a bzg trueno would be more common in NZ?

A lot more common.

What engine do the 2L ones have? G series?

i was allowing approx 5-7k for a landed car, is that about right or would it cost alot more?

ts going to cost me like 2-3k for a gearbox and pedals for the manual conversion buying from trademe.

I figure a whole donar car would be alot easyier and also would help with all the little things you need, computer etc etc.. and i could sell the leftover parts or keep as spares.

from my brief dealings with Ewan from Hayatonka, your costs will be:

=Cost of car
+ ~45,000 yen fee (less if car is below 150,000 yen)
+ ~NZD 1700 incl gst shipping - landed

Divide yen by ~82 to get NZD
=cost of car + 2300

Check out Hayatonka.com, you can email him from there.

Don't forget GST on the price of the car + shipping when it lands, and MAF fees.

And transport fees. Not allowed down the port to pick it up yourself
