Hi there.....welcome to Malaysia.

Which part will you be transferring to? An S15 year 99 unregistered would cost aproximately RM130k. You can search for the prices at www.motortrader.com.my

;D

Welcome! :wave: I was browsing the local classified papers yeaterday and found two 2001 S15 Type-R pearl white selling for RM115k.

Aux, sorted out your rainy prob yet?

 

[dns15]

We have about 50++ registered S15/200SX owners. Our estimated S15 population in the country is less than 100 at the moment.

Gunner :
I fixed the misfiring but I still find the car a big sluggish. Maybe I am just not meant to drive turbo cars...ahaha....but definately improvements. I guess the O2 sensor was making the low throttle wierd. Plan to fit an Emanage to touch the fueling a bit.

DNS15 :
Ampang is quite a jam area as it is in the heart of the capital. Your mornings will not be the same again. Hehe. You might want to check this (http://www.autoworld.com.my/aw/resources/duty.htm) for the import duties on motor vehicle into Malaysia. The tax is insanely high and you might find it not worth the hassle. Also all cars that get imported requires an AP and these AP are a controlled thing by the goverment. There is a discussion currently going on in the local, msian drift forum about this. Some guy is coming over from Holland and wants to bring his 180SX over.

Cars may be expensive here but everything else is cheaper, thats if you are earning in foreign currency. Petrol is slight less than RM2 (USD0.58) per litre.

Yeah and the food here is <mama mia> <kiss fingers> LOL!

 

[dns15]

thx for the very useful info :>
yea i been to KL for quite a few times already driving there is like omg lol comparing to NZ
what octane fuel does malaysia have?

 

[ichi-go]

They dont put octane ratings on Malaysia but I'm guess 98ron. But they could be anything really.

 

[I-nearly-bought-a-batty]

Just buy a Proton Satria and whack a 4g63 in it like all the locals

 

[ichi-go]

Or ek 2door with b18c or hybrid

hi im looking through some japanese imports now
and so many of them r stated unreg im jus wondering izit hard to get reg in malay for jap imports in malaysia?

 

[gunner93]

Fuel quality is not an issue here. Ron 97 & 95.

dns15,

Registration is the least of your worry. The dealers will take care of it. Finding a good car needs some effort though. Check the details on touched-up dents and knocks, rusty under-carriage, cross check serial no. to determine the actual year manufactured and the mileage. Many used car mileage are doctored over here.

No idea about that. I would have thought all commonwealth countries need not.

Yes I know of a couple of garages specialised in Wankel tuning & repairs in KL.

 

[dns15]

again thx alot :>
going there in 2 weeks time im quite nervous now lol

Are you here already ?

Petrol is slight less than RM2 (USD0.58) per litre.

I'm now officially moving to Malaysia! That is insanely cheap! In the United Kingdom we pay more than USD $2.00 for petrol. Must be around RM7.5-8 :down: :wack: :rant:

 

[gunner93]

Unfortunately, the days of subsidised station fuel in the country will come to an end beginning this April - including Sabah & Sarawak. There has been talks about floating fuel prices to be on level with Thailand and Singapore to circumvent fuel smuggling and easing Government's financial burden to the tune of RM40 Billion. Like the saying goes, "All good things will come to an end"...

Gunner,

do you think they'll increase the price by a lot or just a few cents ?
