How Many K Series In Aus

[TRD ke70]

does any know how many k starlets are in AUS and were are they?

[TRD ke70]

i know of 2 in brisbane northside,white kp62, and red kp60-61 5 door(haven't seen the 5 door) but i have seen the white one, boondall area.

[TRD ke70]

tony saw on the southside about 12-13 years ago a blue 3 door, chased it but stopped when taking a short cut he realized he was going down a one way street the wrong way(f@$ken rally drivers) :D

[TRD ke70]

thanks for that haven't seen that one before, i'm heading back to nz sometime this year, might have to buy one and import it.15 year and older.

 

really cheap to buy one as well.

 

i still have a rev counter dash from jap kp60 S at home.

15 year rule is gone...unless you know otherwise??

[Mr Revhead[RL]]

the hard part is finding a non rusty non rolled bowled and arseholed one....

 

a few old grannies still have such examples. if your serious let me know a month or 2 ahead and ill scout one or two for ya.

[TRD ke70]

15 year and older is still going, here's the link

 

import 15+

I remember reading a DOTARS press release a month or two ago saying they were scrapping it...or changing it...or something....

Yes. But I would get it in before December 31st 2005.

[Mr Revhead[RL]]

that IS the new rule.... the 31st dec date is for an rule for importers, as in car yards.

 

iv been looking into bringing cars in....

[TRD ke70]

So as of 31st of December I could import a KP61 personally. Or just for importers?

anyone can import a 15 year and older car, you just have to get an import approval. they give those out to anyone.

 

i've got a couple of mates who do imports from japan and they say is not hard to import if it's 15 years and older.

 

i'm seriously looking at bring a starlet in, would have to be a KP60-61.

 

BRING ON THE IMPORTS.

[Super Jamie]

i wouldn't bring a starlet over here, for the same reason i wouldn't bring a te27 over. parts, except engine bits, are going to be impossible/expensive to find so you'll end up with a corolla driveline in a car that looks different and is inconvenient to daily drive and leave parked and risk racing and whatever else

[irokin]

No I'm saying import before December 31 2005 because I believe they plan on changing the rules further.

[TRD ke70]

i haven't heard that one, but it'll be interesting to see if it happens.

from what i understand from jan 2007 there's going to no duty on imported cars,

from jan the 1st this year the duty dropped(not sure by how much) on imported cars.

we paid over 50% on the rally car and MR2 when they came in.

 

it was worth it though.

 

just remenber, about 6 years ago passing a late jap ke70 coming back from the gold coast, anyone knows who owns it??
