Hey mate, i had the same trouble when i brought my R33 from adelaide and coverted to NSW rego. Any place that can do blueslips (If your NSW) Can ring the RTA and request all the information you req. Apparently they do this anyway due to some dodgy importers importing to many cars. And if your car is one of them it will never get re registered. Hope this helps.

The agency that holds the import papers is the federal Department of Infrastructure and Transport, used to be called DOTARS.

Their details are here:

THey will have the import approvals on file, my mechanic recently needed a copy of my Stageas ones

Great info Duncan.......

Do they happily supply people with the respective documents or do you have to go through the Freedom Of Information crap?

Do they keep the compliancing info too? If not how would you be able to get a copy of that?

Thanks,

Bob.

Would also like to know.

Id love a copy, just to add to the folder.

Ok so I called the number on the website, they said to email [email protected] and someone will contact you in a day or so. That email address is not on the page so I'd say just email that, we'll see how long this takes.

Bob those guys are unlikely to give out import papers for ADM cars, both cars I have papers for were SEVS (or the previous scheme) low volume imports

Hi Duncan........ I wasn't thinking about my car I was thinking about a JDM that I will eventually buy.

It would be nice to have as part of its history as would the compliancing documents. Do you think they would issue that for a JDM import?

Ok so this was pretty much a bust. They send you a letter confirming that the approval for import of your vehicle on the date it was granted. Due to "privacy" you can't get anything more than that it seems, so it's kinda useless except to aid in registration.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
