Importing a JZX100

Hi, Sam here, new to the forums. I was just looking for some advice about importing a JZX100 Chaser Tourer V. You guys probably get this question a lot but I thought I'd ask anyways (had a search on the forums didn't come up with anything, or maybe i didn't search hard enough o_O).

Currently I am in a position where I can import a Tourer V in manual with heaps of extras bits and bobs for less than $9k NZD imported with the customs tax. But I was wondering if it was possible of there was any way to register the vehicle as it is a 1997 car and am unsure if it meets the SIV requirements. If not I was considering to swapping the heart over to a chassis here.

Looking forward to a reply. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. :)

to legally comply it you would need to wait until it is 20 years old (2017) to comply it.

I have a 97 tourer v sitting at my parents house in auckland which is going to have its running gear swapped into my mark ii cause I can't wait. but if you can wait you can have a genuine tourer v i guess or import a jzx90 tourer v like everyone else is doing at the moment.

If you want to import it as a parts car for yourself, then I would suggest you buy a slightly damaged one as it will be cheaper, unless you want to swap the body parts over as well. In regards to complying it, gtivvl is correct.
