Re: Rules regarding private imports?

check the Dept of Transport site ( www.dotrs.gov.au), but I believe that you have to have owned the vehicle for a period of 12 months, and have proof in the form of registration and de-registration certificates. In the case of Japan you also have to supply proof of the ownership of a car parking space (a quirk of Japan's limited per capita area). Also, I think you have to supply your international drivers license, or a license issued by the relevant country (ie. Japan if your looking to import from Japan).
Like I said, check the site though. The information is readily available.
