Whooaaa...
All this info is great and I'm sure will benefit others, my deal is that I'm not interested in importing a vehicle myself, I just came across a guy that imports them himself and gets all the compliancing, RWC and rego done and sells them. I just told him what I was after and if he gets it then I can have a look, and if I like I can buy, if not someone else can.
My only problem at this stage is:
-who does his compliance?
-how does he get in 93,94,95,etc model 180SXs into Australia
-And what should I be careful of.
Cheers
Sorry if that sounded bitchy it surely wasn't intended, you guys are great. Very Happy

Anyone can do compliance that is a registered to give out compliance plates. There are a limited amount but chances are this guy is friends with someone who does compliance.
I don't have a real idea about 180's and silvias but i'm PRETTY sure 180sx's were never officially sold here and therefore you can import them.
I'm not sure how much a 180sx would cost here but for example I know you can import an r32 gts-t for $12,000 and add about $1,500 on top for compliance. That's pretty low cost but legal so don't be too scared.
At the end of the day get a written agreement stating what this guy says he can do (ie. bring it in, make it comply and register it for u) and for how much he's charging you.
At least that way if somehow the car is illegal and it needs to be destroyed or something (I highly doubt it), then at least you have evidence.
Sidenote: there are a lot of cars that get stolen and then put up for auction or sold to exporters which is bad for the Japanese but it doesn't really make a difference to you or I.

Enough rambling... Razz
