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).

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
