Compliance

Hi guys, im new here and new to the 34 life.

Just recently bought a r34 coupe na (because im a p plater) but theres no complience plate or import tag or anything? It doesnt even have a vin plate thats australian...its all japanese?

How can i get a plate or is it to late for the car as i dont know when it was brought to australia?

Cheers

There will be something, somewhere. Maybe in the driver or passenger's door jab if not under the bonnet.

Who did you buy it from?

If nothing else, you can contact DOTARS and get a copy of the import approval based on your japanese VIN#. It will be something like ER34-xxxxxx.

I bought it privately and what is dotras?

dotras I'm not sure  but DOTARS are the federal govt department that issue import approvals for every car that enters the country. They will have a record of how your car entered and with what sort of approval that should help https://infrastructure.gov.au/vehicles/imports/

Note that the Australian plate is actually a sticker, as opposed to the original VIN plate which is a bit of metal. Your car should have both.

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of getting a car complied - the RAWS workshop said they had sent off the paperwork almost 3 weeks ago...

Just wondering if any of you guys have recently had a car complied and how long it took DOTARS to get the plate back?

Cheers

Strap yourself in mate, it can take anywhere from 4 - 8 weeks. Mine took close to 8. I'd say 6 - 8 is the norm, with anything less than 6 being a big bonus.

Check in the boot, it would be unusual with a 34 but early 32's had the green plate in the boot. My old 32 which was an 89 had the compliance plate in the boot
