This Nissan Fairlady Z Z33 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000690 and SEV-000055, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 3 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000216, MRE-000170 and MRE-000598 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD.

Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
