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 NJ50 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000776 and SEV-000777, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 2 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000061 and MRE-000254 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from July 2009 to June 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 7/2009 to 6/2016 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.
