As the title says, has anyone in Australia ever completed a swap?
I was considering it but couldn't find any importers that looked decent and looking at the RTA specifications you would need to convert brakes, suspension, steering and the works to get it registered and knowing the laws prob a mandatory AWD conversion too. In the end it would be worth hunting down 1 of the 77 GT4's and buying that. Also, the NSW laws don't permit a 5sfte to be used on the road because of some stupid law that says if the engine did not come standard as a turbo it can only be used on the track if it gets a turbo added. Although im sure there must be a loop hole there since i'm sure i've seen alot of random turboed cars around. Cheers. |

There are hundreds of motors and clips on ebay that I could ship to Australia. However, how reliable and trustworthy are the majority of the sellers?
None of them can provide an exact number for mileage, they all say less than 50k miles, sorry but in 99% of cases i would call BS on that unless I can find a pic I believe to be genuine of the odo. Also all of them claim the motor runs and has good compression but none of them provide a video. This is more so my issue than actually getting one to Australia, the rest lies with our RTA... Thanks |
