hey the reason you cant is subaru complied them an then shelved them so no one could import them except as a personal import:crazy:

I know people that have allegedly purchased imported GENII GTs from Japan.

I know a friend who was actually going to buy a very very nice GENII GT Wagon on the Central Coast.

Those cars in question were most likely imported as personal imports. The question is in regards to SEVS, which is a different method of importing cars, where you don't have to own the car in question for 12 months in its country of origin.

A little off topic but reading through that it has guidlines based on the 1989 ACT and from what i can tell that means that anything made before 89 is eligible to be imported without restriction (read a 67 stang). Is that more or less how other people read it?

That's a good law?

So I'm able to import a 1974 Mitsubishi Galant MR GTO?

Sweet. :new_russi


Just need 6G72 + RWD... So GTO Running gear and parallel twin-turbo setup or supercharger... I'm not fussy.

Blak, i looked into this myself this week. Its not possible, even Importers said that Subaru's cant be imported. The closest you can get is Mitsus**tsme Evo's or Gallants.

the corollas most likely imported are of the 2 door variant [ trueno, levin, FXGT ], so they are different in body shape. also, they have the more powerful 4age 20v or 4agze motors, as opposed to our local 4afe and 7afe.

as for the civic type r, honda is only bringing them in to oz in limited numbers, hence the reason you can probably get one imported [ just like nissan did with the r32 gtr ]. i could be wrong, but that's my thought.

Subaru of Australia brought in five or six, road registered 22B's. This is the major hurdle for you bringing it in.

If they were easy to bring to the country, do you really think they would fetch 100k over here?

They made 400 of the 22Bs, so that's a very good point mate.

There was a thread a few months ago that went into FIA homologations, SEVS and what you were allowed to bring into AUS as an import and road register and/or only use unregistered (eg. track car).
If you go to www.fia.com (I think), you can see the list of possible cars for specialist import.
