Prestige didnt mention anything about not sending the application off before the build month had come along. I have checked all paperwork carefully and there is no mention of it.

Maybe he has changed it, or you can't read.. but that is mine clearly said not to send it in before the build date.. I put mine in the post the day before, and got mine back on about 20 days after sending it off. Now just waiting on some small thing like the car itself..

My R32 is due for import this month. I had all the docs ready to mail off on october 1. But geoff from prestige emailed me and said i could fax them off early(think it was about 25 september) so i rang dotars and asked firstly could i fax it, they said that was fine, then i asked them if i could send it early and the lady said there is no problem with that too. So i faxed it off in september then rang dotars a couple of days later to make sure they had recieved it.

My import approval arrived in the mail a couple of days ago(approx 17 business days from when i faxed it)

So i'm sure if you send it off a little earlier there is no problem, i wouldn't risk sending it off months earlier as may get 'lost'

Now i gotta get the dam thing on a ship, geoff said he was having it booked on the next available ship(that was about 5 weeks ago) spoke to him the other day and he has not recieved the schedule from the supplier yet so who knows whats happening.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but since we're talking about shipping...

The duty/tariff reduces to 10% on 01 Jan 05 - is that calculated on the day the vehicle arrives or when it is released and charges paid?

Reason I ask is because I was expecting to have the car on the 28 Oct vessel, and if it slides to the end of November, might as well wait a touch longer and save $700 or whatever the 5% difference is.

Can anyone shed light here?

PS If the answer is readily avbl on the customs site, I apologise, right now I cbf looking through it again.

sent mine off today, yeah!!!

Car is November 1989 build.

I gave them a call because i had another question, and explained that i had it all filled out and was waiting till november 01 to send it through.

She told me to send it today, because they are fairly far behind processing that my application won't get touched for at least a week.

I asked if it's better to fax it or mail it. She said faxed ones are heaps better than express post.

So, i hung up and walked to the fax machine.... bam. The cover sheet said something like "i know it's ment to be sent on 1st of november, but person xxx from your office said it was ok to send it today"

I gave them a call back and managed to get the same person on the phone who remembered me. I said that i faxed it a while ago and could she please check to see if it had arrived ok. - puts me on hold and goes and check. "Yeah, it arrived fine, thanks for that, it should be 20 days from today, so around the 15th november. Here is a reference number if you need to query anything"

Im going to give them another call in a week to make sure they haven't lost anything, then i'll give them another call closer to the date it should be arriving.

I figure if i keep hounding them, it makes sure everything is ticking along and it doesn't get lost along the way...

I'd suggest for anyone who is waiting for november to tick over to send it through now, and fax it (or you can call them and ask if it's ok). A followup call never goes astray either to make sure they've got it all.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay

      An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).

      Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks

      have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.

      Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
