the contact details is on the last page of the import approval doc u fill out.

They actually say on the answering machine thingo when you call that 'unnecessary enquirys may delay issuing your import approval' .

Not sure what to take of that, what do they do when you call them? put your approval on the bottom of the pile???

yeah just received my IA as well on monday.. faxed it thru on the afternoon of the 31st of September. so taking around 3 weeks to get here. been waiting to send that since Feb this year.. long wait coming to a end

I got my approval, contacted J-spec and was told basically. "Fux knows when it will get on a boat. They're all full." :hellpisd:

Oh joy, gonna be like last year when I finally picked up my 33 on Xmas eve, 17 weeks after I bought it in Japan. :boohoo:

ok so is there only one shipping company that comes to aus?

I just faxed mine in this morning (twice to make sure) and at lunch am going down to get an express post bag so they have the originals of my doco

man I was hoping to drive the f#$^*( thing before xmas. this was my present to myself :D

mark

mark, i'm in the same boat.

Give dotars a call (the number is on your import approval paperwork) and make sure they have received it, ask them how long it should take.

Tell your supplier in japan to find out when the next ship leaves that has space on it. There is a ship leaving early December, im trying to get my car booked on that, even though i don't have the approval yet.

Faxing is definately quicker at the moment.

I sent my application express post on 29/9 and received it today 1/11

As for shipping apparently up to 85% of car carrying ships is allocated to new cars atm

and everyones trying to get a space.

You do have the option of putting a car in a container as they leave weekly instead of at

the end of the month,but this will add at least a k to the cost.

Btw next ship to dock in freo is the Arcadia Hwy

13th NOV

well i just got an email from Geoff and he said that only 2 out of the 5 cars he had booked on the ship made it onboard.

the 3 were bumped off. he'll let us know who made it and who didnt. knowing my luck, mine will be sitting on the docks. :(

he also said that the next boat will be 4 weeks away.

steve

hope thats not the case steve

I have emailed craig this morning, I got my IA faxed through to dotars yesterday morning at 7am

then sent the originals xpress post for arrival today

I don't know how long the form takes, but I assume if they could get it on the next boat (like they were trying I beleive) then the form would be back to me before the car arrives

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
