This really should become part of the FAQ. The stuff you need to send to DOTARS has been covered in this and other threads, plus PHATR32 is given you some info.

But to summarise, you need to send:

- completed import application

- certified copy of drivers licence

- copy of purchase invoice

- proof of car age (usually Jap dereg doc)

These last two should have been provided to you via your broker or whoever your buying the car from.

If the first is a Monday, put it in the post on the Friday.

As others have said, read very carefully what you need to send in and make sure you fill out every part of the form. Screw it up and you will get large delays.

thanks guys

I have the application form

There is a JP in the building here at work, will get her to sign, a photocopy or my license?

I have the purchase invoice

still waiting on the dereg doco from jspec. called them about it today when I realised I didn't have it yet

No. Mail is not delivered over the weekend (although it is transported apparently).

A utter joke!

yayyyyyyyyy!!

I faxed my signed, black and white licence and all my documents on the 1st of Sept.

Just received import approval in the mail :D

now lets just hope it gets on the boat at the end of the month :|

I have import approval envy :)

It's a great feeling once you've got it in your hand, hope yours is not too far away.

My car went on the boat last Saturday, should be here in a couple of weeks - or that was the plan, haven't heard otherwise. Just got to get the B/L now.

Awesome! now I have build month envy :D You lucky devil, with luck on your side you may just be able to have your car ready for christmas :)

Broker has confirmed that my car is 'on the boat', should be here in 2 weeks :headspin:

OohArrGTR: So DOTARS is saying your approval has definately been sent ?? In that case they probably have and it becomes an AusPost issue, but I would (nicely) ask DOTARS to confirm in writing (e-mail at least) that it was sent and the date of approval. Also ask if they can send a duplicate as the original may have been lost in the mail (it happens).

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
