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!

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
