Timeframe For Compliance After Landing

[N3ptuNe]

Mate, I'm not far off too! Born in the 70's... My case is more complex. I sold my Aurion way to early. I didn't expect it to sell so quick! And my temporary car is a 94 Seca bomb... Try not to think about it... Or I'll raage!! Has yours been complied yet? Just waiting on compliance sticker?

My compliance was due 2 days before the Dotars Audit came down Marty.

I haven't learnt to be this patient since a fishing trip as a lad and not scoring even a nibble.

[N3ptuNe]

Same here. And these compliance workshops who run an honest living are being hit worse than us. Must be hard enough to make a living without the government wanting their hand in everyone's pie!

[N3ptuNe]

I just sent them a polite email asking for an ETA.... Some kind of ETA will be a tremendous relief. I'm starting to feel stressed... maybe i'm stressing my self out hahahaha

My BNR32 passed Dotars inspection today. Expecting the purple sticker in a week or so. The car arrived in Port Kembla over 3 months ago.

[N3ptuNe]

I've been waiting for that pretty little sticker since the 24th

[N3ptuNe]

still waiting ....

Next post Hopefully .. get to use this little guy

Ive seen cars take 6 months.....

I wonder if Dotars deliberately stalls, thinking,

"This'll teach 'em. By the time they get this, depreciation will be 15%"

[GTR-N1]

* edit

No they wouldn't. They'd put their jobs at risk.

Mines landed and has been complied, waiting on just a purple sticker...... but the overall time has been almost 4 months.. My import cert alone 7 weeks....

[N3ptuNe]

Still Nottin… I should of bought an IS-350 I’d be driving it now, and not waiting 4 months! Driving a temporary 1993 shit box!

Must be stock to pass Tier 2 Identity Inspection @ Regency Park in Adelaide (as an example)

I suspect it's because that's what the import laws require. Furthermore they have to destroy all aftermarket parts and retain proof of their destruction.

It is possible not all importers always follow the law though, there might be some bad apples out there.

Just looked up my vehicle on RAWS and it looks like the plate has been issued, took like 3-4 months since the complaince workshop first received the vehicle. Also is it common practice to be charged an admin fee onto of the compliance fee?

[ADP91]

3-4 months is a bit ridiculous, I remember my car taking about 6-8 weeks for the plate and I was quite annoyed with that lol. Admin fees and other charges would be dependent on the shop you're using. I'd say everyone is different.

[GRKGTR]

My 32 GTR took 2 weeks to comply and wasn't charged an admin fee
