DOTORS can't find the VIN for the uncomplied car I just sold :)

Need to get this sorted ASAP so help is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jarryd

Hey there Jarryd,

You can email me directly at [email protected] and I will be happy to help you ... just for the record we no longer use that mobile phone number so email is the best form of contact.

I have looked up that Cefiro but I am not sure what you need us to do for you exactly? ... DOTARS should have record of it because our client who originally imported it would have recieved an import approval from DOTARS before it was imported, if you purchased the car from him then you should have recieved that import approval paperwork also.

If it's just a case of the registration authority not having the VIN on their system then you need to provide them with the import approval and request that they contact DOTARS to ave it added as it should have been when the approval was issued, although a few do slip through the cracks so this has happened before. In similar situations in the past we have tried to get DOTARS to rectify the mistake but they insisted that the rego authority must be the ones to request it.

In any case please email me with what you actually require and I will see what we can do.

Regards,

Craig @ J-Spec Imports

Sorry I need a direct contact number for Craig or Ben. I have exhausted all other avenues at this stage. This is starting to get serious. Both DOTARS and QLD transport have mentioned the probability that the car was imported illegally.

dude, it could not have been imported without a VIA. simple. you physically could not get it off a boat and through customs. so it definitely had one. looking at the car I'd say it was under the 15yo scheme. contact whoever the owner was that imported it (ie not j-spec they are just the broker). the import approval would be in his name. unless it's a SEVS car in which case the workshop complying it would have applied for the VIA. don't stress, I'm sure it will be fine.

you're using 6U900000A31004026 as your VIN, right?

You need to contact NEVDIS in Sydney to add it to the nationwide system.

This happens a lot with cars under the 15 year old scheme.

The car will have an import approval for sure, don't know why DOTARS can't find it.

don't worry, everything's kosher here.

Is this the same person that I am already communicating with? .. if not then please email me directly at [email protected] or leave a phone number here and I will call you back?

Latest on this is we are waiting to hear back from the customs agent that cleared the car. They should have record of the import approval number which I can then take to DOTARS and hopefully have this cleared up.

Thanks Craig and J-spec for their help so far.

Craig I sent an email asking you to call me ASAP on the 4th of March. Why do you refuse to give me a number I can contact you on?

I will be refunding the buyer in full in the next couple of days as he has lost patience.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
