I baught a car from a member on here and he had the de-rego papers for the car. I am at the stage now when i need them and i cannot get in touch with him. How can i get another copy? The car did not come through a broker, the guy imported it himself.

How long does it taketo get them? Can i comply the car without them??

thanks

If you have the original invoice from whoever sold the car to the other bloke in Japan, try contacting them.

The compliance workshop who applied for the import approval may already have a copy, but I suspect it's them who is hounding you for it. Actually, ask the workshop for the copy of the invoice from the dealer/agent in Japan might be your best shot - the RAW would've needed it when they applied for the import approval in the first place.

I dont have the orignal invoice unfortunatley. And yes its the complience workshop chasing it.

I will ask the RAW what you said about the invoice, and then try contacting them. If that dosent work is there a way i can get it if i have the VIN number? like get it from japan? Is there someone that can do that?

Another dead end

The raw only has a copy of the import approval. Have someone that can find the de-rego in japan but need a license plate number and that i dont have.

So pretty much screwed, have a car i cannot complience. The guy has fanished and im feeling a tad ripped off!!

I don't understand how the workshop could possibly have got the import approval without some kind of original invoice from Japan as proof of purchase. Anyway, the other place that will have a copy of the invoice would be the customs broker that handled the customs work. Seeing you're from WA, try the usual culprits over there, like Universal Customs Brokers - there's a remote chance they might have done it. Your aim is to get the invoice from Japan, that way you can track down the company who sold the car from over there, as they will probably have a copy of the de-reg.

I'd also be trying to find the person who sold you the car a bit harder too :whistling:

They dont need the Jap dereg. They keep if for their records but can comply the car without it. How do you think workshop compliance cars imported from NZ, US etc. No jap dereg!! If they wont comply it request that it gets signed over to another workshop. What type of car is it? The Stagea?

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
