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

A utter joke!

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).

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
