Duncan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 There will be something, somewhere. Maybe in the driver or passenger's door jab if not under the bonnet. Who did you buy it from? If nothing else, you can contact DOTARS and get a copy of the import approval based on your japanese VIN#. It will be something like ER34-xxxxxx.

Duncan Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 dotras I'm not sure but DOTARS are the federal govt department that issue import approvals for every car that enters the country. They will have a record of how your car entered and with what sort of approval that should help https://infrastructure.gov.au/vehicles/imports/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471387-compliance/#findComment-7841833 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeDog Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Note that the Australian plate is actually a sticker, as opposed to the original VIN plate which is a bit of metal. Your car should have both.

adnudcyk Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Compliance Hey guys, I'm in the process of getting a car complied - the RAWS workshop said they had sent off the paperwork almost 3 weeks ago... Just wondering if any of you guys have recently had a car complied and how long it took DOTARS to get the plate back?

Mine took close to 8. I'd say 6 - 8 is the norm, with anything less than 6 being a big bonus.

Old man 32 GTR Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Check in the boot, it would be unusual with a 34 but early 32's had the green plate in the boot. My old 32 which was an 89 had the compliance plate in the boot Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471387-compliance/#findComment-7843380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
