The new import laws say no modifications ,so no wheel tubs for a start .

Wouldnt mind seeing some better pics of it. I wonder if you could get approval as a parts car. I reckon he would have his hand well & truly on it claiming 700hp, it would need a bit more than a big cam & PI manifold.

What a jam to get yourself into, somebody didn't do their homework or thought they could sneak it in. Very costly mistake either way.

I was looking at it last night. Think he is in a bit of a jam!! Parts car only now, or drag car. Think he is wayyyyyy oooout on his prices!! Love to see the dyno sheet! !700 is a big number!!

Oh it can't be 700hp.  But I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong with evidence.

If that's 700, I'm 500 haha

Its imports like this that is making a normal import so much harder now.

Seems odd to me ... I dont believe you need an ANDRA licence to import a race car. Whose to say it has to be drag raced ?  ...

It will just never get registered.

So why doesn't he just get it out of quarantine and figure out what to do from there ?

Weird.

Nice car though !

Cheers,
Frank.

You would need a licence for a motorsport category relative to what the car is built for.

My brother has his licence... I'll offer him $15k...

umm , so how did it end up in australia ? as you know paperwork must be complete before shipping so obviously he shipped with no dotars approval , and more than likely he shipped in his own container as he imports tools and came unstuck ! norty norty

Maybe he did have DOTARs approval, but just fibbed a bit on the 'lack of modifications' - one would imagine that they don't like that...

Parts car only now, or drag car.

If you remove the mods from a parts/drag car, can you get it registered later if you restore it to stock?

one worded answer = No.   

Legally, you'd have to export it and import again to get import approval to be allowed registration.
