How Long Does Compliance Take?

[Manuel Kasko]

Lol they arrived on the same boat most probably because mine arrived on the 1st of Jan, taken to compliance around the 5th.

Purchased via Iron Chef.

Is yours going through in Sydney?

I went to the workshop a few weekends ago and saw my car so I might have seen yours as well.

Hey mate,

Im in Melbourne. Did you use Autohub? Our cars probably did come in on the same shipment. I reckon i would be ok with this wait if there was decent communication and clear justification why it has taken a month since they told me they sent off for the plates.

didn't anyone tell you that all clean and straight-forward, private/broker import cars automagically get targeted for "random" inspection? thereby holding the process up by several weeks.

The Department of Infrastructure and Transport's "random" inspection process is very important to ensure that while your car is being inspected all of the accident grade, wound-back dealer cars are ushered through the process without obstruction.

also - are you suggesting they should be held accountable for delays far exceeding their alleged "15 working days from receipt" processing target? LOL - remember we're talking about the public circus.

Btw, Im pretty sure that the RAWS team are contracted out by Dotars and are not public servants.

[Manuel Kasko]

Not sure what auto hub is.

I purchased mine through Iron chef.

But if you are having the same holdups that Sydney is having then I feel a lot better. I guess it's a holdup with paperwork or plates and we just have to wait

Mine took two weeks at Japlink, was pretty quick. Guess I was lucky!

When I imported early 2013, I had about an extra 6 weeks delay. Mine ended up being due to Dotars training " A new girl" as they had been understaffed for a while. They stuffed up the paperwork and had to resubmit it again........... Once Iron Chef got onto them it went much quicker after that

[Manuel Kasko]

Mine's coming up to being 2 months in complaince haha
Just want to get it home so I can give it a nice detail/service

[BigWillieStyles]

Me too mate. Called my shop again on friday and they just suggested to wait some. What are you importing?

[Manuel Kasko]

you?

[BigWillieStyles]

Very nice! Looks like you scored some decent rims as well. Is that a factory bumper?

Heres my new daily beast!

[nashy311]

Two months!? I've been waiting a month with JLM but have been patient as there were a few issues with my car.

Not sure I'll survive two months!

It's now moving into 2 months 1 week.

So be prepared

My GTR took less than a month for compliance as it was relatively stock and i had no issues. Car arrived on Oct 9 2013 and was ready by October 26th. However I bundled rego into it to be done which took another week or so to do but I was fine with that which delayed the car from being released until early November 9. Purchased via Iron Chef.

The wait is always a killer, but you guys are almost there!

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah man the wait is a killer.

Mine is completely stock apart from the rims and suspension. So should be quick but I guess there is the holdup with DOTARS if people are experiencing the same delays in Melbourne.

[IllestR33]

just thought id chime in as i believe im in the same boat as you guys you can check the status of your car via dotars "Search for Approved Vehicles" and type in your VIN which is on your auction sheet if you dont know it already, mine got approved on Feb 28th so im guessing 2-3 week till im registered.Its true the wait has been absolute torture, especially seeing GTR drive past, you absorb every noise sound and smell knowing soon this will be in your possession.........

[Manuel Kasko]

They told me it should be this week but I still haven't heard anything.

Might try and find the auction sheets and get the vin number to do that check.

Lucky for me I have a nice and powerful 33 to drive for the time being haha but thanks heaps for the link

[Manuel Kasko]

Did you need the vin and plate number?

I can see on the website it has a spot for both.

[BigWillieStyles]

I havent had any luck with that search, i have no idea where to find the plate number.

Edited March 6, 2014 by BigWillieStyles

[dodgyimports]

heya, you don't need plate number. just grab the chassis number from your auction sheet and type it into the 'VIN' field - remove any dashes, leave the plate number field blank:

eg. BZ11344272 or ER34025033

then hit search and it will return the compliance plate info. if the car hasn't been complied yet you'll get the "no records matching..." message.
