aus spec should start with b18c7 stamped on the block
look on the engine block. should be a stamp of the block.
b18c2 would be a VTIR
b18c7 would be a TYPE R
They have different intake manifolds aswell.
yea the b18c2 looks like its upside down.
The stamp should say b18c7 then some numbers under it. You can find the stamp next to the heat shield/header
Get the engine number and Chassis Number, email them to Honda Australia, the will generally reply within a day to confirm its history

I have used this twice and there were perfectly helpful, except for bringing the HSV-010 to Aus to race :)
the JDM R may look like this
B18C
2*****
so when he gives u the engine code for a revs check or whatever, it will look like b18c2... so dont get confused,
otherwise it will look likie thsi for a vtir
B18C2
100***
and C7 for aus spec dc2r
also the vin number
JHMDC231** should be the start of the dc2r vin or something similar
the [DC2] is model make [3] number of doors or soemthing and the [1] will signify type R... [8] instead of [1] will be vtir,
