new RAWS scheme

[gtrken]

I have reason to believe that one shop has .

Trouble is that there must be atm new emission evidence or original evidence ( not photocopied ) for the GTR's.

As the only 4wd emission dyno is at the EPA in Melbourne ( I think ) and it has to do a 24 hr emission cycle it would probably cost a small house in sydney type price to do it.

There is talk of allowing them to run in 2 wd but is just talk atm.

Oh and May 8th is cutoff. All vehicles must have the paperwork signed off ( but not necessarily plate issued ) by that date or you now own a race car.

The new scheme started in May 2002 and overlaps the old scheme until it ends in May this year - but to comply cars under the old scheme you have to have them finished before May, so that means shipped out of Japan within about 2 weeks maximum.

just got an import approval prob for the last car getting under old scheme. I'd say if you want to get a car have to do it by the 15th March or so. All vehicles must be plated under the old scheme by the 7th May 2003. Import Approvals also expire on this date. Alternatively the importer can arrange for a RAW to make an application during the transition period ie before the end of the 7th May to place a used import plate on the vehicle

any additional info required call Lal Goonewardene on (02) 6274 7500

so bottom line if you don't have a plate on your car by 7th May you are stuffed.
