Hi All,

Just a quick question on the process, i bought my car at auction a week ago. Rang my broker and they have told me they are waiting for the Import approval.

What does that mean exactly does that mean the car has been deregistered and stuff already or does it mean none of thats been done yet?

I was told originally only a couple of days to deregister and then they look to get it on a ship?

I am probably being impatient, but once i have paid money i cant help myself!

Cheers Stink

you will have to ask them what they mean by that mate. Only they will know if it's been deregistered or whatever. most likely it means they have submitted the request for import approval, and are awaiting the response from DOTARS.

Yeah the guy i spoke to was filling in so he could tell me any details.

Its Australian Governmental Approval for the go ahead to allow your car to enter the country. Doesn't take too long, just be patient :laugh:

Yeah i understand that,

I was asking whether this tells me that the car is ready to go over there like is this import approval done before anything else or is there no particualr order. Just trying to understand the process better.

ohhh i see what you asking. So no, import approval means what i stated. Not whether it is sitting at the docks waiting to go....thats up to the shipping company and papers to be completed by your broker.

that system sucks.

Sorry - misread your question.

The car has to be de-registered in Japan, and assuming it's coming into Oz under SEVS, you or your import broker will get a lovely Export Certificate to prove that your car wasn't stolen. The workshop doing your compliance needs a copy of this before they can sign off on it. That's why it's important.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
