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.

JLM bought my car at Auction in Osaka after inspection that it truly was a Grade 4.5. On the back of this freight company's tilt tray, the LR quarter panel was damaged (and the edge of the door). It

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:

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.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
