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...

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
