Have been reading the foums, specifically people's complaints about laws/regulations and have done some research.

Click the link below for QLD vehicle legislation.

Transport Operations

This contains lots of information particularly page 47 (Part 2 Australian Design Rules).

  • Lighting
  • Braking
  • Emmissions
  • Vehicle Markings
  • Etc

Then there's always the easy reading stuff (link below).

Light vehicle modifications

This contains some information with most of it being how you interpret it.

I have asked MANY legal questions in a single, simple to comprehend e-mail to QLD Transport.

I'll post what I recieve if anything.

Here is what I have recieved:

My question was:

Is there a more recent document for vehicle modifications.

All I can find is one from January 2005 which will soon be 2 years old.

I am inquring specifically on Blow Off Valves fitted by a mechanic as well as seating modification.

The reply:

Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail.

You can view the modifications brochure at the following web address.

http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinf...s_modifications

If you have further questions you can contact our modifications department

on (07) 3253 4851.

Should you require any further information, please contact Queensland

Transport on telephone 13 23 80 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday

(Local call charge in Australia. Higher rates apply from mobile phones and

payphones. For international callers, please phone +61 7 3834 2011).

So basically nothing in writing.

I did find these on the Transport site though (click the links):

Light Vehicle Replacement Suspension Modifications (7 August 2003)

Seat Belts for Used Imported Vehicles (15 December 2005)

Auxiliary Driving Lamps Fitted to Motor Vehicles (30 June 2006)

Hope they help someone!

My interpretation of the Qld modifications law is that, you can pretty much do anything you want, just don't get pull over by a traffic cop, even in cars you have yet to modify.

Very true, but then again trying to make a getaway can make things so, so much worse! :ninja:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
