Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 2 SEVs · 1 MRE

This Nissan Skyline BNR34 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000768 and SEV-000153, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by Model Report Entry MRE-000058 issued by SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Aug 1992 to Dec 2016.

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.

How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 1/1997 to 12/2002 Nissan Skyline examples through our Japanese partners, with build-sheet and auction-grade verification before any bid is placed. Once won, the vehicle is shipped via roll-on/roll-off freight, cleared through Australian customs, treated under biosecurity rules, and prepared for compliance at our Sydney workshop. The Approved Vehicle Verifier inspection and RAV entry are completed in-house, and you receive the vehicle with paperwork ready for state-level registration.

Please note: This explainer is general information only. Eligibility for import under SEVS is determined exclusively by the published approval on the Rover register and the Road Vehicle Standards Rules 2019. Carbarn cross-checks the exact build year, variant and model code against the published approval before bidding — confirming the published approval is the binding source.
