From that link...

2) EMISSIONS, PERFORMANCE and SAFETY -- 15 years and older vehicles are not required to meet current emissions and safety requirements. Whether valid or not, DOTARS are arguing that allowing the continued import of older vehicles under current arrangements will be detrimental to the average age as well as emissions and safety standards of the Australian vehicle fleet.

Thats complete bullshit.

Cars brought in under the 15 year rule must comply with emissions and safety standards to be eligible for road registration.

[CSV Imports]

Really?? I thought that cars over 15yo could be bought in regardless of emission standards. I have brought in over 20 cars in the last two years and nothing has come up about that.

[CSV Imports]

Keep going we need more signatures

Yes, the cars have to be engineered, which means they must meet basic safety standards and emissions/noise requirements.

So your 18 years old and you have imported 20 cars? Id love to know how you get them road registered

If you imported 20 cars in 2 years I dont know why this took so long and it will honestly do no good as everybody in the industry know it is decided,

And even Tamworth need the cars engineered, if they dont have a cat and are blowing smoke they will be knocked back, they will ask you to do a IM240 Test.

CSV imports, maybe you should take this thread to general automotive discussion, as well as every other jap car and import forum that you can think of so that everybody knows about it (if you haven't already done so already), also when does the petition get submitted?

[pentae]

Signed way back.

As far as I can tell your petition is almost a word-for-word copy of info that was published on the Prestige Motorsport web site in January this year. The regulation impact statement mentioned has been considered and more recent info indicates that a decision has already been made by DOTARS...it's just a question of an announcement being made.

I commend your effort, but I strongly suspect the 15yo rule as we know it has left the building (or will have as of 1/1/2005).

SteveL, is there something we know that others don't shhhh...

Jan 1st would make sense for an announcement.. Its been talked about for nearly 6 months that it would be nothing allowed after 1/1/05.. but nothing firm has been announced.

I think its a little late with all this petition business (it was all done 6 months ago), and with a parliamentary majority there isn't much chance. Government can do what they like.

[The Dan]

gotta be in it to win it!!

[CSV Imports]

In regards to my importing 20 cars, I have clients which imports through me and they are the ones who register it not me... as to when the petition gets submitted? whenever we get enough signatures. Also, if you guys could post the link up in the forums around the place that would be much apreciated.
