Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Nissan Skyline KV36 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a V6 engine, a automatic gearbox, and rear-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Nissan Skyline KV36 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000771 and SEV-000769, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 4 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000060, MRE-000107, MRE-000566, plus 1 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.
