Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 2 SEVs · 5 MREs

This Nissan Skyline CKV36 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000769 and SEV-000771, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 5 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000060, MRE-000107, MRE-000566, plus 2 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Oct 2007 to May 2013.

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. We source 10/2007 to 5/2013 examples through approved Japanese auction houses, verify build and condition sheets before bidding, and handle every downstream step on your behalf — international freight, Australian customs entry, biosecurity inspection, and the full SEVS compliance program at our Sydney workshop. Final delivery includes paperwork for state 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.
