the contact details is on the last page of the import approval doc u fill out.

They actually say on the answering machine thingo when you call that 'unnecessary enquirys may delay issuing your import approval' .

Not sure what to take of that, what do they do when you call them? put your approval on the bottom of the pile???

yeah just received my IA as well on monday.. faxed it thru on the afternoon of the 31st of September. so taking around 3 weeks to get here. been waiting to send that since Feb this year.. long wait coming to a end

I got my approval, contacted J-spec and was told basically. "Fux knows when it will get on a boat. They're all full." :hellpisd:

Oh joy, gonna be like last year when I finally picked up my 33 on Xmas eve, 17 weeks after I bought it in Japan. :boohoo:

ok so is there only one shipping company that comes to aus?

I just faxed mine in this morning (twice to make sure) and at lunch am going down to get an express post bag so they have the originals of my doco

man I was hoping to drive the f#$^*( thing before xmas. this was my present to myself :D

mark

mark, i'm in the same boat.

Give dotars a call (the number is on your import approval paperwork) and make sure they have received it, ask them how long it should take.

Tell your supplier in japan to find out when the next ship leaves that has space on it. There is a ship leaving early December, im trying to get my car booked on that, even though i don't have the approval yet.

Faxing is definately quicker at the moment.

I sent my application express post on 29/9 and received it today 1/11

As for shipping apparently up to 85% of car carrying ships is allocated to new cars atm

and everyones trying to get a space.

You do have the option of putting a car in a container as they leave weekly instead of at

the end of the month,but this will add at least a k to the cost.

Btw next ship to dock in freo is the Arcadia Hwy

13th NOV

well i just got an email from Geoff and he said that only 2 out of the 5 cars he had booked on the ship made it onboard.

the 3 were bumped off. he'll let us know who made it and who didnt. knowing my luck, mine will be sitting on the docks. :(

he also said that the next boat will be 4 weeks away.

steve

hope thats not the case steve

I have emailed craig this morning, I got my IA faxed through to dotars yesterday morning at 7am

then sent the originals xpress post for arrival today

I don't know how long the form takes, but I assume if they could get it on the next boat (like they were trying I beleive) then the form would be back to me before the car arrives

    • 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).
