sorry i had to do so much moderating, i tried to keep all the genuine questions in there but must have chopped yours too.
A couple of points i'd like to make from what i know about importing cars made after 1988.
# SEVS is still in place AFAIK, its just that to get your car complied under the SEVS rules you must take it to a RAWS workshop.
# RAW(s) = Registered Automotive Workshop. The only place allowed to comply a car imported under the SEVS scheme. They have to buy licences to comply certain models of car, and can only import a limited number of that model. They must be ISO9001 certified and regulated so as to protect the consumer (you and me)
# The criteria for a car being allowed to be imported is determined by DOTARS. This information should be available on their website or from your local vehicle importer. Typically they are special sports models, models not available in australia, etc etc.
# What your mate says about SEVS, RAWS and the old 15yr rule is most likely WRONG... unless you mate is either an RAWS workshop, 15yr importer, or works for DOTARS. Check the information out for yourself to be sure of ANYTHING.
------------------------------------
there were also some questions...

Does that mean I *might* be able to get an MA61 from Japan?

Yes you can. Under the current ruling, any car built before 01/1989 can be imported without resitriction (like the old 15yr rule). You just have to perform a couple of simple modifications and have it certified by an engineer - contact your local roads and traffic authority for exact details.

yeah, I REALLY wanted a 1990 Celsior, but there goes that dream.. I don't know WHY they made 1989 the cut off... seems very arbitrary to me, and annoying too
|
In 1990 there were a fair few changes to the ADRs which would have made it hard to certify modifications to the cars making them compliant with ADRs for their build date.
If you have the money now - im sure that J-Spec probably has a celsior or two which they have made a financial commitment to or already have the VIA for... meaning you can import them.
VIA = vehicle import approval.
I think i covered ebverything i wanted to....
