Really?
So they had to make a hole to get the indicators in yeah..?
Well one of my mechanics told me that was the reason, cuz it was a 1990 model, it did not need it...
Do you remember that whole "15 Year Old Rule" that came in?
There where it's Pros and Cons in the Rule,
What can be imported under the 15 year rule?
Anything as long as it is older than December 1988. Also, there are still a handful of 1989 / 90 models listed in stock which have import approvals issued under the 15 year rule before it changed last year, and these can still be imported under this rule.
Registration of 15 year old cars
We always suggest with 15 year old vehicles that an allowance of about $1,200 be made for the modifications required prior to registration (which can be done by anyone). These vary from vehicle to vehicle and State to State, and may include the following items:
o Seatbelts
o Sun visors
o Child restraint points on the rear parcel shelf
o High level brake light
o Catalytic convertor
o Driver's side mirror changed from convex to flat
o Unleaded fuel filler opening restrictor
o Side intrusion bars
o Dash dimmer switch
o Engineer's sign-off (some States only)
If you are uncertain about what needs to be done for a vehicle you are considering, you should ask the registration authority in your State for further information. Costs of the work can then be determined by contacting a workshop prior to going ahead. While you can make all the changes yourself, we can of course recommend a reliable workshop in your State should you require assistance.
Performance modifications
15 year old cars with performance modifications simply need to get through your State's registration process. The 15 year rule is separate to the new import scheme (SEVS) so there is no need to remove performance modifications for "compliance". However, each State has it's own rules on what level of modifications are acceptable, so you should check with your State's registration authority if you are unsure. For example, in SA which is the strictest State, any vehicle must be completely stock standard when registered except for wheels which can be aftermarket (but no more than one or two inches larger than factory).
