I'd question the dealer about that one..... There should be a green plate =under the bonnet somewhere and a silver VIN number affixed to the firewall next to the original japanese VIN number (usually on the lip at the back)

If a car is not complianced then it has been bought in illegally and if caught the Govt has the right to make you crush your car and then send the evidence report to DOTARS.....

Go see the dealer and ask to see the RTA inspection report, Import Approval, and invoice.... they might not show you the invoice but the other one's should be no problem...I hope)

i got vin number but no compliance plate. and i have renewed my rego last year with no problem at all. unfortunately, the dealer i bought the car from has sold their business to other company and although they are still using the same company name, but they are different owner. i tried to call them today but seems they don't want to know anything about this.

what a load of rubbish!

Your car could be a rebodied vehice....pm me the vin...i might be able to tell you from that what the story is...i wouldnt panic

could be a test and evaluation vehicle thats the only way.. but after 12 months they must have a compliance plate fitted otherwise big fine. Been through this with a dodgy company already in Vic who somehow wanted to escape their obligation of fitting the compliance plate after 12 months. you wil be able to renew rego but when it comes to selling - good luck... IS it in Vic, otherwise its be done illegally as ylwgtr says.

re bodied cars is ghosting, and that is illegal....

I posted the stuff about DOTARS ..ice 180, Ylwgtr seems to think what i said was crap....:argue:

But it is what i read about when i was researching skyline's before i bought one...

I heard there was a big crack down on imports in Vic due to the company being found out...

I'd get in contact with DOTARS and have a chat to them about the situation and see if they can offer some advice on what to to....

Err , not completely true.

Rebodied cars is not ghosting if the damaged vehicle and new body has been presented to the relevant authorities.

It is done with Commodores and Falcons all the time by a company here in W Aust ( Carrera Autos )

It is illegal to remove the chassis number from one car and insert it in another.

equinoz , I wouldn't get too worried , if was bought and lic thru a legit car dealer , there is usually an explanation.

I assume you are talking about your R33 and not some older car right ??

sounds liek complete bullshit in vic it is impossible to get car regoed without compliance plate unless t&e vehicle althoguh with recent events that might not be true. Was it from the country I have heard of some people paying off local staff to look the other way. Not sure how it works in NSW but thought similiar to Vic.

forogt to put it on HTF did he get it regoed then?

A re bodied car would still need the (a) complaince plate... wouldnt it?

to show that it meets australian standards and is legit right.... because the chassis numbers would not match..... that's what's throwing me off here.

I'm unsure whether Imports and Aussie car's come under the same rule... with re bodieing....

Whats the lowdown boyz?

i've checked with RTA today and all my registration is legit, car is registered, nothing wrong, and when i asked him about the missing compliance plate, he said that's fine as long as your car is registered. but i think i need that bloody compliance plate if i want to sell my car right?

SELLING AN IMPORTED VEHICLE

If you have followed the procedures outlined in this brochure and the vehicle has met the requirements for import approval and initial registration, there is no restriction

under the Act preventing the subsequent sale of an imported vehicle unless conditions have been applied to the Approval.

Check with the Registration Authority in your State or Territory for requirements regarding the sale of an imported vehicle. Addresses are at the end of this document. It is an offence to supply to the market (ie to sell for use on a public road) a vehicle that does not meet the ADRs, or is not fitted with a compliance plate, identification plate, used import plate or Personal Import plate and such action may attract a penalty of up 120 penalty points per vehicle. 1 penalty point equals A$ 110 (as at 22/ 1/ 02).

Vehicles 15 years or older shall not be fitted with a compliance plate under the Act. You should consult your State or Territory Registering Authority for registration requirements for these vehicles.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
