Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 2 SEVs · 4 MREs

This Nissan Skyline V35 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000772 and SEV-000154, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 4 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000478, MRE-000536, MRE-000508, plus 1 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including ADR MODEL REPORTS 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.
