I had my mine approved about 2 weeks ago without dereg papers. I just sent the form along with full details of the cars and invoices from the supplier.

Hope that helps,

Andrew

this is apparently my de-reg paper

i dont understand how it would have any meaning to dotars tho, as far as i can see there isnt even a date of first registration on here, unless its in japanese

That's because its using the Japanese date system, which relates to the year of the Emperors reign (in this case, Heisei).

The third box along the top (that reads "(Jap. Character) 2 (Jap. Character) 5" means your car was built in the fifth month (May) of 1990.

DOTARS uses the de-reg papers for proof of age, not proof of first registration.

Yeah also, if your car is already past 15 years to the year, they don’t really mind you sending an import approval off with out the deregistration papers.

I.e., my car is built 1989, September, I sent my IA off in February, but because it wasn’t a 1990 model, it wasn’t necessary for the deregistration paper work. Well thus is what was told to me by my custom agent.

I think what Geoff is suggesting is that you should lodge your application immediately, even if its somewhat incomplete.  Once its lodged they will find it that much more difficult to deny you an import approval due to the new rules as its already "in the system" so to speak.

I would follow Geoff's advice, but fully expect to get a call from DOTARS asking where the deregistration papers are.

LW.

The only trouble with this advice is often dotars just don't call..........you have to do all the chasing. They'll be flooded with Import applications in the next few weeks until the law change is gazetted, so don't be waiting for them to ring you!

I jus got import approval the other day. It took a while as I faxed off the application form without the proof of month of manufactur, i ended up getting a fax requesting 'proof of manufacture date', so I called up Nissan Australia and got them to write me out a letter confirming the date of manufacture. No problems!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
