that is awsome!!
why are they so cheap!!??
and most of the cars have really low KMs! =
don't they like driving?

how much do you think it would cost to get one shipped here?

importing from japan doesn't cost too much..
wish there was a road connecting aus with nz =P

and its not just any B4, its one of those rsk models.

damn its so cruel, i could driving around in a phat B4 RSK instead of my RX

Its beacuse the TT B4 was a car that was sold by subaru Australia, It is to  protect the markets and people who run businesses in this country. Tthe Government charge them tarrifs and taxes etc to have a liscence to sell these cars.  So any car that is currently sold under liscence here in Australia can not be privatelly imported and registered in Australia. That includes model variations, such as the Gen 2 GT's as they are basically just a model upgrade of the Liberty. If we could all bing in what we liked then the local market would be non existant and the value of all cars would drop.

Cars that are not stocked and sold here somehow can, im not sure how that works but i know it is done, maybe someone else can tell you.

So they dont let people bring them in and get them registered on the road, there used to be a 15 year rule where cars over 15years old could be brought in, but that was axed last year.

Thats the one, thats why a you still see a few origional ones around.

Does anyone know the amount of time it would be needed to be registered to a resident of NZ before it can be imported?

It needs to be registered in NZ for 12months before it can be imported and can only be done so if the person is moving to a new address in australia with the car.

I dont think you have to be a resident as such, just that you can prove that you have owned the car and lived in the country for at least 12months.
