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

cheers and thanks for all the help

mark

but if I send it express on friday it would arrive on the weekend wouldn't it? before the november date, unless the department isnt open

might do that then. put it in the post on friday arvo

cheers

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

LW.

include a express envolope with your application addressed back to you... May speed it up aswell!!

i didnt do it but i should of... no news as yet aswell ppl they said if it doesnt arrive this week put a complaint form in and they will get it chased up! will be somthing like 8 weeks on monday!

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.

2 months+ :boohoo: (december build)

I just hope it arrives before I leave for Japan in january so I can organise all the shipping etc before I leave.

me too richard, import approval envy

mines a November build. its creeping up slowly now, and I finally have all the paperwork ready to go. just a month wait.

wish you guys the best of luck with everything going smoothly now

mark

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 :)

Richard

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).

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
