Market price for used DC2R?

[N1Spec]

yep just as i thought, extra 4k for shipping, duty etc, more if i want to register it.

Now i need to think about how am i supposed to get the car to the track lol. Dont think my Euro has the guts to tow a 1ton car

[fueltank]

I don't think DC2R is on the sevs list so that means you can't comply and register it.

I can tow it down if I get a drive of it

ClubITR rocks

we really are blessed here with such depth of knowledge and experience...

i doubt any other model specific forum could compare...

That is correct.
You'll need to import the car as a Racing Vehicle.

EDIT: I'm not sure if you can just import a car without going through one of the channels/scheme listed on the dotars website

Brakes alone for trailer will be anywhere from $500 to over 1k.
Electric brakes with controller are probably better suited.

Beware some trailer brakes require you to get out and flick a switch before you can reverse!

My car is still available?

[uselessR]

And a trailor for it too.

Why don't import from NZ... they have plenty of JDM DC2's there. I assume it is cheaper from there.

A friend of mine had an imported rally wrx he drove to and from events legally, however for closed circuit events that doesn't seem allowed - see snippet below.

Also, DB8 Type R 4 door may well be allowed under SEVS and be road registerable later this year. Iron Chef on ozhonda is looking into it.

Rally Use

Eligible vehicles for rally use are those homologated by the Federation Internationale
de l'Automobile (FIA). These vehicle models can be found listed at

http://www.fia.com/homologations/Voit_Pays.html.

Under normal circumstances applicants will be restricted to importing a single vehicle
and acceptable reasons will need to be provided to import another vehicle for rally
use.

Road vehicles for rally use are imported on the condition that they will only be used in the course of competition, practice associated with competition and transport to and
from a rally location.

The applicant is required to lodge with their application a statement that the vehicle
will only be used for rally purposes together with a copy of a current CAMS R3 or
higher grade licence. Approvals for the importation of rally vehicles will only be
issued to applicants having a demonstrated involvement in rally sport where
supporting evidence may be requested by way of vehicle log books, programs of
events entered, supplementary regulations for those events, results, etc.

Closed Circuit Racing

Eligible road vehicles for closed circuit racing are those homologated by the
Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).

Under normal circumstances applicants will be restricted to importing a single vehicle
and acceptable reasons will need to be provided to import another vehicle for closed
circuit racing.

Road vehicles for closed circuit racing usage are imported on the condition that they
will only be used for this purpose and will not be used on public roads or be offered

IN ESSENCE, IF YOU CAN'T SUBSTANTIATE ALL THE ABOVE, YOU CAN NOT IMPORT A CAR FOR RACE/RALLY PURPOSES.

Accordingly, we will only be able to source a car for you if you can provide documentation as above, AND are prepared to give us a substantial deposit before the vehicle leaves Japan.
