Howdy,

I have bought a R32 GTR in japan and have

applied to Canberra for import approval as

a race / rally car.

They say it can take upto 17 days to get approval.

What I would like to know from some one who has

done the same is how long does it really take?

Cheers,

Geoff :)

ps. there will be a full interia for sale as soon

as the car arrives in Adelaide.

Ask your broker Geoff! :P

Give them a call on that 1800 number and give them a rev up, it has been plenty long enough now.

Howdy Kristian,

I thought I would leave my broker alone until I had my approval.

Will call the 1800 number Monday if no news this week.

And then my Broker with:

Is it here yet?

Just interested, when the car is still in Japan. Where is it being stored while you wait for the approval?

Howdy,

Sorry for the delay in answering,

a lot has happened in the last week.

I bought the car from a company who deal

with exporting cars from Japan all the time.

Part of the deal is FOB. My understanding is this means

Freight On Board (or something like that) which means

they will hold the car until you are ready to have it

placed on a boat.

Last week my import approval arrived in the mail

and the car arrived in Brisbane. Just waiting on

Australian customs to release it and will then get

it trucked to Adelaide.

Cheers,

Geoff :(

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
