I have an import sitting here with no dereg papers.. can someone tell me how to trace down the orignal doc so I might be able to comply my car.. or i guess I just wreck the thing

My mate got a build date for his 89 mercedes from merc aust. They just faxed him a letter to verify its age.

sticky situation you're in man!

But, in order to get an import approval, you are required to have de-reg papers. Well, that was the case with my 15yo import...

So, find out who sent in the import approval as they should have the dereg papers.

not sure what u mean by who sent in the import approval? The guy who imported the car was a sole trader and since the new laws have come into effect he no longer imports as he never applied for a RAWS licence, Also the import approval was issued by dep of transport canberra I think. I have been in contact with them and basicly they have told me tuff titties...NO DEREG PAPER NO COMPLIANCE.

you would need to speak to the importer and get him to get the dereg papers, when i got mine, my contact over there just got me a new copy of the dereg papers and posted it to me,

if you know someone over there, you should be able to get a copy of the dereg papers through the authorities provided the car was deregistered correctly over there...

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
