i got the blue japanese one but i don't have the green australian one. i also got a VIN number sticked on my car. i've renewed my rego last year with no problems at all so i guess my car actually got a compliance plate but the dealer forgot to stick that on?

guys guys guys

please don't get me wrong on this trying to help.

One of three ways it can get regoed. One way can be without a plate if that person allowed to do the compliance work under the corrrect SEVS scheme which is due to be replaced in May by RAWS is as a test and evaluation vehicle in order for that person to be able to do compliance work on that model of vehicle ie Skyline R33 models etc. The CONDITION of this vehicle being able to be registered without a plate as a test and evaluation vehicle is that a compliance plate has to be affixed after a 12 month period has expired..... Registration will show as normal, but the vehicle cannot be sold without the plate.

I have been in this situation twice before had two vehicles done liek this and it took me over three years to get a compliance plate on one vehicle two on another from the dodgy compliancer who never went ahead and got compliance on this model. Only at last moment before a court appearance did compliance plates magically appear.

2) Personal import - blue plate

3) SEVS import complianced with green plate.

"there is no way anyone can forget to affix a compliance plate" it cannnot be regoed without it unless done in the above way. Excuse my harshness but sounds like someone is selling a porky - call him again and tell him it is a large fine to sell a vehicle without a plate and you want one affixed otherwise you will go to the authorities or take legal action..

OMG ....

nothing wrong with Rebodie vehicles... a rebodie does not have a plate fitted(although some times the registry office gives them back to you and i have seen them fitted,however technically they shouldnt be fitted)...personal import plates are YELLOW in colour

and your vin is a imported vehicle vin anyway not a rebodie one.

Also if a rebodie vehicle has no plates..its not against the law to sell it......all the above are facts not some crap i have made up... they are the rules!!!! And there is nothing saying that a car that was bought in for compliance cant be registered as a rebodie then sold without a plate.....making a mockery out of all that sh_it that is written at the bottom of your import approvals.... Id say that if they tried to "do" you for doing this...in a court of law...youd win

  • 1 year later...
i beleive that under the Raws setup ..the colours of the plates winn change....i think they will be magenta in colour

totally true,

I have a series 2 r33 that was only bought into the country in the last couple of months, i was imported under the RAWS thing ...

I have the normal blue plate from nissan, and a magenta type colour plate stating the compliance number, date, type etc etc

can take pics if anyone is really interested ...

In NSW there is no legal requirement to keep a compliance plate fitted after your car has been registered.

Contact DOTARS and find out if you car has been complied in the past. If it has, they will re-issue a plate for ~$40.00.

Keep in mind that you will have trouble selling your car without a compliance plate.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
