Hi All,

Just a quick question on the process, i bought my car at auction a week ago. Rang my broker and they have told me they are waiting for the Import approval.

What does that mean exactly does that mean the car has been deregistered and stuff already or does it mean none of thats been done yet?

I was told originally only a couple of days to deregister and then they look to get it on a ship?

I am probably being impatient, but once i have paid money i cant help myself!

Cheers Stink

you will have to ask them what they mean by that mate. Only they will know if it's been deregistered or whatever. most likely it means they have submitted the request for import approval, and are awaiting the response from DOTARS.

Yeah the guy i spoke to was filling in so he could tell me any details.

Its Australian Governmental Approval for the go ahead to allow your car to enter the country. Doesn't take too long, just be patient :laugh:

Yeah i understand that,

I was asking whether this tells me that the car is ready to go over there like is this import approval done before anything else or is there no particualr order. Just trying to understand the process better.

ohhh i see what you asking. So no, import approval means what i stated. Not whether it is sitting at the docks waiting to go....thats up to the shipping company and papers to be completed by your broker.

that system sucks.

Sorry - misread your question.

The car has to be de-registered in Japan, and assuming it's coming into Oz under SEVS, you or your import broker will get a lovely Export Certificate to prove that your car wasn't stolen. The workshop doing your compliance needs a copy of this before they can sign off on it. That's why it's important.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
