Hence my original thoughts (maybe right, maybe wrong) but as soon as you hit any VIN that isn't in the 'Aussie Range' the flags go up at the DMV, well, over here in WA anyway.
I dunno about the Kiwi post '98 shorties, maybe easier, maybe not but the GQ's were relatively easy esp if you owned them pre-import so didn't have duties to pay etc.
I do know it is easier, much easier, getting OS model imports into NZ as the BIL family is a mob of car nuts and have had some bonzer units over the years

Hi guys great to hear all your thoughts I plan to go through a specialist vehicle importer.Initial conversation they seem confident that they can import and register it (Brisbane) Out of interest how many digits in the Chasis numbers you have on the Aussie models ? It is a UK model I have owned it here for 4+ years so that won’t be the issue they are referred to as GR here rather than GU but think that’s just a marketing thing (Similarly Mitsubishi’s Shogun here not a Pajero)

i'm pretty sure the VIN has 17 characters. probably need the engine number as well. have seen a few low volume imports with a VIN pop riveted above the original number. but these came from japan.
qld is easier to get things rego'd well at least easier than nsw.
if its worth doin its worth over doin

ahh the letter number combo is not always the same,(between makes) but the numbers/letters do tell you where it was made when and (major options i think.) and by who.
my ford has a nissan VIN. they also don't use the full alphabet as certain letters are too easy to confuse with other characters.
if its worth doin its worth over doin

Top link ET, Cheers!
Scrubbed some more mud off the utes plate, quite strange too now how the 1’s are ‘almost’ upside down T’s. The 1’s appear ever so slightly bulbous, almost like a solder trail instead of a hard edged T.
