Hey guys,

I've currently imported a car from Japan through a broker

and its at the stage of compliance currently, I've been told it'll be

around 1-2 weeks.

So after the car has been complianced what will I need to do to get it registered and insured? ( Not too familiar with these process )

So if someone can list the the stuffs that need to be done to get it registered It'll be nice :P

Also, the thing is that my broker done most of the paper work for me,

so it there any imports paperwork, that I will need to collect off him that will be useful to me when I try sell the car or for other things?

Thanks. :D

as far as i know you'll get any papers you need off the compliance workshop when you pick your car up...

then you'll need to organise a road worthy, if you're in vic that is...not sure what its called in other states...(blue slip in NSW?)

then you'll need to make an appointment with vic roads (RTA in NSW?) so they can inspect the car (check the vin and engine numbers etc) and register it , unless of course your compliancer is organising RWC for you, then all you need to do is get it registered

After compliance:

You need to a roadworthy check, if your compliancer hasn't already given you one.

That's about the only standard thing you need to do across all the states, what state are you in? It might be better to ask you local road transport authority.

Docs you need for reg (in VIC for example):

Engineers cert for compliance

Import approval

Purchase invoice

Roadworthy

The compliance workshop organised everything for me, gave me his trade plates and I drove my car to the nearest Transport Dept. with all the necessary paperwork and got it registered. Then returned the trade plate and drove my car home wearing the biggest smile ever :P

Im in NSW, does this mean I actually have to bring to car to a RTA, or just give them paperwork?

And If you need to bring it to a local RTA, is it possible to organise temporary insurance aswell? It'll be bad if you have a accident on the way to get it registered lol..

Thanks

well this is how it is in vic, id say it would be SIMILAR in nsw

ill be picking mine up from compliance within a week or so. the workshop is 40-hour away from me....

I organise temp reg (unregistered vehicle permit) through vic roads....you pay for it and choose how many days you want it for...up to 28 days. this allows you to drive it to and from workshops strictly for RWC (blueslip for you?) etc....not just drive it around for fun ....

Just cars will insure me with temp reg because legally the car is allowed on the road...albeit limited. JCI dont offer temp insurance, so i have to buy my policy straight up, which isnt a big deal because i was going with them once its registered anyway.

so you get yourself a rwc (blueslip) then you take that and the other paperwork, you make an appointment with vic roads (RTA) tell them its first time being registered...they know what you're talking about....you take the car, they'll check the vin/engine numbers etc...take your RWC with you, then give them money and they'll give u license plates :)

If they give you a blue slip all you need to do is take the parerwork to your local RTA with a green slip ( ctp ) and they will tell you if you need an RTA numbers check .With most skylines they will tell you you need a numbers check and they will give you an appointment but there is only 2-3 RTA's that do it in Sydney , I know there is one in Silverwater and one in Penrith .

If they cant give an appointment within a week then they will issue you with a interim rego until they do the check .

Dezz, is your compliance workshop in QLD?? 40 hours is pretty far. Can i ask how much do you have to pay for the temp rego?

dezz, let me know when you're gonna go pick up the car and I might be able to swing around with a trade plate n save you the cost of temp reg. If its gonna be a single trip to vicroads.

The compliance workshop is 40 mins to an hour away from him :P not 40 hours, which is how I read it as well.

thanks for the offer shan , but ive actually got my temp reg sitting on my desk. lets hope UPI get their act together and get me my car, before this thing is ready to expire before i even use it.

it ends feb 1st, so if i get the car next week, ill get RWC ASAP and then straight to vic roads.

serves me right for trusting them when they said the 20th (friday) or monday 23rd...

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
