Thanks buddy... I was told that the plate will be done over night and then he just needs to take it to VICroads.. So i guess i just have to wait until the paperwork is ready.. It gives me the shits a little but i guess thats life. I hadn't realised till it was to late that the paperwork had not been sent yet, the car was in the yard for a while and they didnt even send the paperwork until it was sold! It doesnt make sense to me.

dotars are taking about 5-8 days to process vehicle inspections at the moment , but that can change from day to day

submit a car day 1 , takes 5 days , submit another one next day takes 8 , next day who knows

remember it greatly depends on what is in the queue before you at the time you submit them . any problems with the paperwork and it will go back to the bottom to be reprocessed . on average cars get submitted 1.7 times so its pretty common for something to hold it up twice.

on top of that you have supplier issues , parts and services are not always available immediately

also good workshops are just plain busy and sorry but its usually 1st in 1st serve and you might have to wait your turn! if you were told 2-3 weeks then live with it , better a good job than a quick one

well i bought my car on the 17th of October and i still havn't got it yet. It's just stupid i think. i've waited over 2 weeks and they still have no idea whats going on i just want my freakin car! im sick of walking to work lol

my car arrived in australia (brisbane) on the 16th of august, and i picked it up from the perth transport depot yesterday...

I bought my car on the 15th of March and its nearly ready!

However, its only been waiting for compliance to finish for a few weeks. I think this is the third week now and plates *should* hopefully be there tomorrow.

Paperwork was approved around last Friday I believe.

Regards,

Gareth

the paper work for mine was submitted on friday 26th of Oct and it was approved today, 5th of Nov....and the plate should arrive on the 7th >_<

surprised that some of u guys' took so long...

sounds fishy....the entire process can't take 3 days, impossible.

There might be a misunderstanding involved here, better get clarification.

my importer payed for my compliance a day after i bought the car from japan so he has told me it will take no longer then 3 days

its takes a day or 2 to actually get all the work on the vehicle done so foir a car to be plated in 3 days doesnt sound right unless thyeve submitted the paperwork prior to the vehilce entering the country.... if so BIG risk!

Lets see now ...... car arrived in Australia April 07 and it is now December 07 ...... car still not complied ...... oh yeah that's right .... how silly of me to forget that I made a mistake in dealing with an incompetent although very highly recommended import broker who was not aware of the regulations. So the answer to this question is WTFK's! :)

Not to put down every broker out there because there are some good ones but we are brokers and hold compliance for 18 different models of vehicles so everything is done in house and our fee is the same as everyone else. Why risk importing though someone who has to rely on other business to get the job done. We make sure and guarentee that a car we orgainse the purchase for will not have any compliance problems.

Anyone know if DOTARS is held up at the moment? Been waiting 17 odd days since paperwork was sent through to them. Have spoken to my compliance workshop and they recon DOTARS site went down last week? Does this sound right.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
