Lang said apparently if the car is more than 15 you don't have to worry about compliancing...just normal australian vehicle standards.

the only performance cars that are older than 15 years in japan are RX2/3's. u can get them here already :rolleyes: :D :finger:
edit: wait a second, i can finally import the AE86 or AW11 here!! :eek: oh shit! :coolguy: they are some freakin hard cars to find

SiR civics will be available in 2-3 years.

yeah...I was thinking that about SIR civics...but my main interest is that... we can import a city turbo here if we want to :p

i was told by geoff at www.prestigemotorsports.com.au that u can import honda's unless u do it as a private import... doesnt that mean u have to live their for so so amount of months? and import it yourself?

anyways 15 years and waiting for my JDM ITR!!:bandit: ill just have to kick back and relax........:D

Incoming is correct on this. Importing Hondas is near impossible based on a number of factors. The most damming of which is that the JDM ones do not (according to the Fed Govt) provide sufficient difference to those in Australia. It's all in the new legislation - in fact, only the Beat and the '80s City Turbos made it to Australia (CTs under a loophole in Qld legislation - now removed).

I did some checking as I wanted to get a SiR CRX a while back - no can do as engine differences alone will not be considered as sufficient reason to issue the compliance plates to brokers. If you can find a CT in Japan (good luck :( ), then it may be possible.

Private imports are as bad - the car must have been owned for somewhere between 3-5 years overseas before it can be imported.

I truly wish it could be different - and those people who know the history of my car know why. I would love to have the compliance plate on the SiR - but I doubt it will ever happen :(

Isn't It you have to live in whereever you want to import your car from around 3 months?

:confused:

Nope - that changed about 5 years ago. It's a number of years now, but I can't remember how many

to privately import a car from japan you need to have a japanese bank account, have a japanese car license and 'own' the car for a certain amount of time before even bringing it over here.
thats from my research but i may be wrong

All I wan to know is if you can import a JDM HOnda Crx into the states, and if you can how.

This is mostly an Aussie inhabited section (or was). You wont get answers for the US here

I know in the uk my dad spoke to some garages and they said they dodgy up ownership papers etc for exporting.

omg...the old skool ppl are back...great to see you guys :)
