Look out

[Guest andrewjread]

lookout peoples! just went down the wharf today to check on my skyline and theres a heap of new skylines, supras, and 180sx. Some looked like they might well be heavily modified. I guess theres a rush on them before the changes. ANy of these cars belong to you people??

Somehow i got in the compound by driving right behind a car carrier truck, and the light goes green and the gate opens automatically on the way out. No one questioned me inside which is probably a bad thing.

Anyway, my car has been moved right to the waters edge at the end now since it is still there from the previous ship.

This is not good. Been sitting in direct sun and salt water atmosphere for the last ~2 months. Will this shorten the life span of the paint work?

WHERE THE @#$@#$ IS MY Approval god dam canberra @#$@#$'s

lol thats pretty dodgy that u were able to sneak through...

dude, hope u sent your approval off before the car was shipped over? 2 months that is ages.. i think u should give them a call.

or buy a car cover and cover it up. take EVERYTHING of value out of the car (if its still there) and hope that no-one finds out youve got a car landed without an import approval form cos otherwise they ship your car straight back to japan, at your expense

Andrew,

My mate has about 20 cars just arrived on the last boat, and he gets his approvals in 10 days, you just need to know who to speak to.

See'ya:burnout:

If I was you I'd be ringing up canberra (the number is on the forms you filled out for import approval) and chase them up, it takes ~3 weeks during non-peak times, so I'd expect 4-5weeks max... just remember for every day it sits on the wharf it costs you money in wharf charges.

There's an orange 180sx that I've seen from the Freo bridge ... it's been sitting there for ages and looks sweet ... wouldnt mind seeing that out on a cruise

andrewjread, I know someone who has a Supra, a couple of R33'S, GTR. The Canberra people only went back to work a couple of weeks ago, so they are up to their armpits in paperwork. Check every code on every form, because they are sending approval for the wrong models of cars, which is holding things up further.

It's annoying that you can't rush it, it must be costing you a fortune.

I saw that orange 180sx when I was there. I think it might be a race car.

Spoke to the customs agent and the approval should be here next week. The car was sent it error and thats how I snapped up this bargain. I have not actually paid for the car and will not until approval comes across. I could foresee this happeninig and made alternative arrangements with Geoff. Will even get service fee back if approval rejected. I did not even apply for approval under my name as this could also endanger me to unwanted expenses. I think theses are the reasons why its taking so god dam long.

Anyone live around MT Lawley area and willing to take me for a spin in their skyline and give me some pointers. I have not even been in one have become obsessed with them...weird heh. There may well be some beverages involved for the willing participant.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hmmm... I applied for the import approval in my name... I dont know how you can apply in someone else's name as its your vehicle, but then I've only done it once. Geoff would know all the in's and out's.
