Hi Peter,

You will need to go to the below website and obtain an import approval it should be straight forward and with only a small fee. 

https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/infrastructure-transport-vehicles/vehicles/importing-road-vehicle-australia

This is the most important part as without it the car will not be let in. 

Then I'd suggest you reach out to a customs broker to manage the required paperwork for you on the WA side and again this is a simple process, I've used Famous shipping in the past but there are many that can do this. 

Then you need it registered, if it is modified you may need to get it engineered, but once its in country this is easy enough to work through. 

I hope that gives you enough info. 

Cheers 

Hello! Greetings from chilly Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

I'm an Irish lawyer living in Amsterdam and I have just joined WA Z Register to help my son Conor (he'll take over this membership soon). Conor moved to Perth and is getting married soon to a lovely Aussie girl, and once the visa application is safely approved, he intends to bring the real love of his life - his 1976 260Z 2+2 - to WA. I'd be really grateful for any guidance that members can give me about looking into what technical/roadworthiness/approval the car will need once it lands in Freo. Don't want to ship it out there and find there's a problem... It's a Dutch registered RHD drive car (was originally from Netherlands, but we found it there in 2012 and took it to the UK and registered it there, but then moved to the Netherlands so it's back on its original plates). A solid, condition 2 car. Thanks for reading!. Peter

Here is a YouTube link to "Datsun 240Z Development" video never seen before footage !! This short version was presented at Z Con 2023 in Ontario, California. Videos were provided by Former Nissan Chassis Engineer & Team Leader of Final Road Test in US, Hitoshi Uemura and team member, Eiji Osawa. It shows some of the personal videos recorded in the Nissan factory by these development engineers.

Australian Motor Heritage Foundation Economic Value Study - WA

 Please complete the survey

Dear Club Secretary

Over the past 5 weeks, we have been running a survey of historical vehicle owners in order to ascertain the value of the motor heritage sector to the Australian economy.

So far, more than 5,200 responses have been received – a remarkable response rate that highlights the interest in – and passion for – the motor heritage sector.  Such a strong response will add considerable weight to the Study's findings.

Thank you for your support so far in distributing the survey to all of your members.

Before the survey closes by the end of September, I thought we could make one final push for any historical vehicle owners who haven't already completed the survey to do so.  We need as many respondents as we can muster to really highlight to Government the value that the sector brings to the economy.

Your members will only able to complete the survey once, so if they have already completed it, there is no need to do it again.  But for those who have not yet completed the survey, they have until the end of September.

With that in mind, please find below the link to the survey.  Could you please send (or re-send as the case may be) this email with the link to all your members and encourage them to complete before the end of the month.

We attached again some information about the Study, as well as a frequently-asked-question document that tries to answer some of the more common questions we have been receiving.

Many thanks
