Not bad at all What boost were you running?

If I was to guess. 400-500 for 6 hours work

Nothing beats a v10 in a e30 haha

Amen

No sorry, It is quite straight forward to import a personal car. You would be hit with commercial charges if you were going to be importing 2 cars at once. Unless you could import the car under a partners name. Therefore both being imported as personal cars as long as you have owned them for atleast 12 months Importing the parts would not be viable in my mind. You would definietly have to weigh up the costs of shipping vs selling and re-purchasing. What parts would you want to import?

Interesting to know! Do you think new injectors reduce the noise or is it constant through older ones too? Cool project James

Good luck , They will probably encourage the idea of a V8 in a e30 I love not being checked all the time You should be okay, another thing to note is you cannot have anything in the car when importing

That was not touching anything. Van lines packed everything up and then unpacked it where we told them to in Aus I know coolant is a must, not too sure about the other fluids What mods does your M5 have? probably best to put it back to standard when shipping. Just for moving purposes and compliance. The other thing about QLD is we dont have to get wofs every 6 months. You only need a "road worthy" when the car is being sold. You could own a car for 30 years here and never have it checked

PS we used NZ van lines. Had a 48ft & 24ft container for all of our things including the car. Cost was around the 50k mark

This was a drive in/off service, so you can expect to pay a little moreThe car had to be immaculatly clean, then the underbody of the car is steamed cleaned to remove any dirt, oil etc Incl in the 4k the car had all fluids removed, new belts put on and new filters. Seeing as the e39 we imported was NZ new it met all compliance with AUS regulations apart from child safety restraints. These are mounted in the parcel tray to accommodate for securing baby seats. Cost for these was around $400 installed You then pay %10 of the value of the car in stamp duty Mod plates vary depending on the mod. The most basic plate costs $66. Any mod that is ADR approved does not need a mod plate. Ie I have new springs and 18" wheels on my M3, as it is within mod specification. In QLD if you change wheels they cannot be 2" bigger or smaller to standard and must be within 3% of standard rolling diameter. Lowering springs cannot be lower than 30% from standard. Things like coilovers, new brakes, engine etc all need mod plates Back on topic.. for $4000 the stamp duty and child restraints were inclusive. The only thing next to pay was the rego ontop. This then varies depending on number of cylinders. 4cyl is $340 for 6 months 6cyl is $440 for 6 months 8cyl is $540 for 6 months After the rego is paid we picked the car up 2-3 weeks later!

It will have to meet regulation here in Aus. Which state are you looking at? To be street legal for modifications here you have to obtain a "mod" plate, Identical to a "cert"

Wish it wasn't raining!

Can go into more detail if you like, im sure the you know the jist on what needs to be done?

We moved a e39 to Australia from Auckland 3 years ago It cost us around the 4k mark, AUD Its not worth it in my opinion unless you plan to keep the car for years to come. It is much easier to sell the car in NZ and then buy one over here

Whats that exhaust in the original post?

Yea they are pretty fun!. We have a monster crusher with a 3 speed box. can do 120km/ph. Quite scary in a park seeing as it weighs 7kgs!

Hey guys, Any of you into RC flying? My dad has always tried to get me into it but it wasn't really my thing. Taking his new one out for a fly this weekend. Some of you may enjoy the pictures. The Extra300 has a petrol 50cc engine with a 23" prop. A tad over powered The Extra300 LP Redbull has a 80cc engine with a 27" prop. Soon to be a 120cc twin with a 29" prop They are used for 3D and Imac

You can also use this site to plug in your old wheel specs vs new wheels It tells you differences so you can go out to your car and measure http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

That is running 19x10.5" with ET22 on all corners You could go as low as ET10 on a 8.5 in the front and ET20 on a 10" It all varies on how aggressive you want to be and what tyres you are going to run?

What are bags?

If he is worried about the colour, paint the M3 Fijian green

Ohh sorry Simon, definitely not Westy isn't abusive at all

Go Bigger! Dont listen to what Matt says lol

Dont like it
