Just got our VISAs! - Now what?

[slider2]

Hi Guys,
Me and a mate came over 12mths ago to have a snoop around and I decided its the best place I've ever been - so me, the missu and kids are NZ bound.

Trouble is I dont know where we're going to live yet and it might affect teh vehicle collection as to what's coming over.
Currently have a 1993 964 C2, a hyabusa engined locost + trailer, a 1992 ducati, a harley fat boy chopper, a nissan pickup (95 model) and a 92 toyota LC SWB

I'd actually not like to be parted from any of 'em since its been my life's work to acquire them www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/icons/4.gif but obviously they'll cost money to ship etc.

So a buch of questions are preying on my mind - hope you can help with some of them...
What are the issue with bringing in / registering the Locost as its technically a self-build?
Do I have to pay import duty on anything I've owned under 12 mths? (ie truck)
Is it worth having the Locost at all if I'm on the S.Island - say Nelson as there dont seem to be any tracks there - or are there?
Are there any tracks near welly? Are the tracks in NZ short straight or long?
Is insurance going to be a nightmare on any of these vehicles? dont know if insurance is the same sort of thing in NZ as it is in UK - insure each vehicle separately (and expensively!)
If I want to continue my Petrol Head lifestyle should I drop ideas of living in the boonies like Nelson (or to a lesser extent somewhere outside Welly) and just go to Auckland - In which case if get a job ( :-( ) in the city - can I M.Bike it in busting teh traffic Q's as in london? (How cold / wet does it get in Winter in Auckland)
Sorry about the millions of Q's - It's just a (worried) mind dump!!

Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers
James
Hope to see you all sometime soon.....

Wow! thanks for all the helpful replies folks, I appreciate you taking the time.
In light of your responses I'm going to leave the trucks behind - no point in paying tax twice. Still thinking about the 964 though, what sort of proof do I need that I've owned it for more than 12mths? - Technically I did as it was a swap with a mate for something else but I didnt rtegister it until 3 months later due to it being in the bodyshop / mech work etc...

When we were over we spent a couple of days in Nelson and really liked the feel of the place there - people etc - however teh only other place we stopped fo rmore than 1 day was Auckland and we were just downtown so not much idea of what its like to live where a family might put roots down. We stopped oin christchurch too - same story as Auckland just styed ina downtown hostel.

I'm in IT, I've been a freelancer for some years now - mostly helping companies acquire systems - lately doing Gov work for big DATA and CCTV systems. They keep changing the terminaology on me but I might describe myself as a Systems/Business Analyst if I wanted to sound posh :-) - So I guess I could go back to all that - However I would prefer to buy a boat and do boat trips for tourists around Nelson sound or get a couple of rally escorts together and do a rally school ... What do you all think?
