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.
