Lol they arrived on the same boat most probably because mine arrived on the 1st of Jan, taken to compliance around the 5th.

Purchased via Iron Chef.

Is yours going through in Sydney?

I went to the workshop a few weekends ago and saw my car so I might have seen yours as well.

Hey mate,

Im in Melbourne. Did you use Autohub? Our cars probably did come in on the same shipment. I reckon i would be ok with this wait if there was decent communication and clear justification why it has taken a month since they told me they sent off for the plates.

didn't anyone tell you that all clean and straight-forward, private/broker import cars automagically get targeted for "random" inspection? thereby holding the process up by several weeks.

The Department of Infrastructure and Transport's "random" inspection process is very important to ensure that while your car is being inspected all of the accident grade, wound-back dealer cars are ushered through the process without obstruction.

also - are you suggesting they should be held accountable for delays far exceeding their alleged "15 working days from receipt" processing target? LOL - remember we're talking about the public circus.

;)

Btw, Im pretty sure that the RAWS team are contracted out by Dotars and are not public servants.

Not sure what auto hub is.

I purchased mine through Iron chef.

But if you are having the same holdups that Sydney is having then I feel a lot better. I guess it's a holdup with paperwork or plates and we just have to wait

When I imported early 2013, I had about an extra 6 weeks delay. Mine ended up being due to Dotars training " A new girl" as they had been understaffed for a while. They stuffed up the paperwork and had to resubmit it again........... Once Iron Chef got onto them it went much quicker after that :banana:

Very nice! Looks like you scored some decent rims as well. Is that a factory bumper?

Heres my new daily beast!

The cube! niceeee

Yeah scored some nice SE37's and suspension.

Factory series 2 bumper (This will be one of the first mods haha because it looks horrid)

My GTR took less than a month for compliance as it was relatively stock and i had no issues. Car arrived on Oct 9 2013 and was ready by October 26th. However I bundled rego into it to be done which took another week or so to do but I was fine with that which delayed the car from being released until early November 9. Purchased via Iron Chef.

The wait is always a killer, but you guys are almost there!

just thought id chime in as i believe im in the same boat as you guys you can check the status of your car via dotars "Search for Approved Vehicles" and type in your VIN which is on your auction sheet if you dont know it already, mine got approved on Feb 28th so im guessing 2-3 week till im registered.Its true the wait has been absolute torture, especially seeing GTR drive past, you absorb every noise sound and smell knowing soon this will be in your possession.........

They told me it should be this week but I still haven't heard anything.

Might try and find the auction sheets and get the vin number to do that check.

Lucky for me I have a nice and powerful 33 to drive for the time being haha but thanks heaps for the link

heya, you don't need plate number. just grab the chassis number from your auction sheet and type it into the 'VIN' field - remove any dashes, leave the plate number field blank:

eg. BZ11344272 or ER34025033

then hit search and it will return the compliance plate info. if the car hasn't been complied yet you'll get the "no records matching..." message.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
