SMW1 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I'll be buying anothr Z today hopefully. Not for breaking before anyone asks, it's not been in the country long and it's an NA , but it's a manual 2+0 so should be fun. I intend to use this while my car is in the paint shop and in SE getting it's headers sorted. But first I ned to get it on the road. I would really appreciate speaking to anyone who has registered their 300zx themselves as I don't really know where to start. Any tips guys and girls ? Will put some pictures up tonight if I buy it. Mechanic checking the car out tonight for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffa Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 It's quite easy if you have all the paper work! this has all the steps in it DVLA but to summarise you'll need Bill of Lading Customs form C&E386 (proves you've paid your customs & VAT fees) Japanese de-registration document MOT & Insurance (based on chassis no.) £25 registration + 6/12 months TAX then go to DVLA Local Office (Sidcup is much easier than Wimbledon) fill in the form V55/5 , wait a few days and they send you tax disc and certificate with reg numer so you can have a number plate made up. All I had to do to mine to get past the MOT was add the rear fog-light. HTH James PM me if you want a hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XTT Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 jaffa, my car is arriving on the 8th of june. How much time does it take usually to have the documents with the reg number sent to you from the moment you send all the documents of the car to the DVLA?

jaffa Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I took the paper work to my local office to save a day, but I think it was 3 working days, and the tax disc arrived in the post on the 4th day. My time line when the car arrived was Monday - car arrived at docks, picked it up in the afternoon and drove it home (ran out of petrol as soon as I left the docks:eek: ) Tuesday - Mot'd Thursday - went to DVLA but didn't have customs form Friday - Customs and exise form arrived, took paperwork to DVLA Wednesday - tax disc arrived, Halfords wouldn't give me number plates Thursday - had number plates made somewhere else Since, spent a lot of money on fuel and maintenance, but worth every penny :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
