Hi all,
My name is John and I have just moved from Australia to the UK. As such it seemed appropriate to join gtr.co.uk.
Back in Aus I drive an R34 GTR which I have owned for the past 3.5 years which I am not quite ready to part with just yet. As many of you can probably appreciate, finding a good clean skyline is becoming harder and harder, not to mention the time taken in looking for the 'right' one.
As such, I am looking into bringing mine across to the UK rather than sell it and look for another one over here. I would therefore like some insight in potential costs that I would be up for in doing so, including shipping, taxes and on road costs, so I can decide whether it is financially viable to bring it over. Obviously there are a lot of factors to consider, but ball park prices will help me decide whether it is worthwhile or not.
Any suggestions of companies to help with the process would also be appreciated.
Other relevant information includes;
- Car is mildly modded with only bolt ons i.e. larger turbos, intercooler, radiator, full exhaust, ECU, intake and a few other odds and ends.
- Also has an atmosphere BOV which is legal in some countries but illegal in others. This may provide issues with EPA in UK if it is illegal here.
I don't intend to move back to Australia for some time so I feel that importing it, pending associated costs, is justified.
I searched the forums for this topic prior to posting this and did find two threads of the same nature, but one was 2006 and the other was 2003. As such, I felt the information in these would be outdated, hence this post.
Any advice and suggestions is appreciated.
