Great stuff, will be the best of all worlds 100 / 105 Series with the famous for very good reasons 1HDFTE. I'm just starting a very similar build, but using a local 2003 HDJ100 Sahara onto a FZJ105 chassis. So super interested in your build and will be great if you end up with a much needed full resource on how to do it
Awesome mate! Everyone who builds them seems to absolutely love em! I will definitely make sure to give a detailed review on everything I do to it! It’ll take a little bit longer but 100% worth it
Hey Alex, thanks so much for these vids. I've just started looking at importing a HDJ101 to register here in VIC, but from the early research I've done it doesn't seem possible as its not older than 25 years old and isn't on the SEVS register..? Any info would be appreciated
Hey mate no worries! I really enjoy sharing my experience with these beasts. Thats correct they need to be 25 years old. My one is a 1998 so it’s good to go. Late models aren’t eligible yet but obviously will be very soon. Anything up to June 1999 can come over for now 👌
@pallettime hey mate they restructured the import rules in NSW about 2-3years ago. Anything newer than 25 years old needs to be on the Sevs register as an approved vehicle. The 100 series isn’t on that list so you can’t import them newer than 25. Once they’re 25 years old you can pretty much import anything and you don’t need to go through a specialized workshop for compliance just a visit to an engineer and/or blueslip
Great vid! Btw i want to import a s2000. Would it be correct to import something stock as ADR wont probably allow a modified one into Oz? And can you shop around with an agent in japan to get the right car?
Thanks mate! If it’s modified it’d likely need to be turned back to stock so you could be paying a lot of money for that stuff before you start on compliance stuff. Minor mods you may be able to sneak through. Yep agent in Japan is a must IMO
Great vid
Thanks legend!
Cool stuff mate. Good detail and helpful.
Thanks mate glad I can help 👍🏼
Great show and look forward to the build.
Cheers mate I can’t wait!
Great video and thanks for all the useful info!!! I'm considering to import a KZJ78 from Japan to Melbourne too!!!
Hey mate thanks for watching! Glad I could help. They’re awesome cars! Just make sure you get a manual one if you need to do heavy towing
Informative :)
Thanks legend!

Why dies it have to be 25 years old to import ? I thought that was what luxury tax was, so you could import earlier modles, or am i wrong??
