If they didn't get a roadworthy done when you bought it, the car would not have had a legit safety cert, and therefore it was illegal to sell or advertise for sale.

Just to expand on that, a car can be sold without a safety certicicate but must be sold unregistered as-is. Obviously if they are trying to sort out that issue now, then they are very dodgy and sold it illegaly. Possibly try to get Qld Transport onto them, as they could be up for some big fines.

I spoke to qld transport they dont no how it was registered. then said it was registered and thats that

Dude get in there and start bustin heads. I agree with what has been said already. The absentee has either broken or wrecked it and they are trying to cover the fact.

My god this is very scary to hear....i guess doing the backgroud work before buying really helps....any hope you get it back...and its obviously the guy is not on holiday. he must have had a small altercation with the car....and try to fix up ASAP...

Can you Plz...PM me the place....Just wanted to know...so i can keep well away....and WORD of Mouth PEOPLE....make sure not another liner goes near !!!!..

You have just scared the hell out of me, I dropped my car off to the dealer today to fix some issues that should not have passed roadworthy. Luckily my dealer isn't in springwood, Looks like I will be keeping alot of contact with them to find out whats going on with my car.

please pm me the details I maybe able to help as I have a family member working for QLD transport. Other than that demand car by monday or money back as that is completly unacceptable.

If the car is a dodgey maybe thats just what they want her to do. :laugh:

sad to hear that amy.. humm whats the name of the yard or the addy if u could PM me that i shall keep a eye out for the car with those wheels and kit on as they might even change the plates + sticker .. sounds like they are playing with you .. i hope this gets sorted out for u

Firstlly;

That blows so bad, I have not seem something like this in a long time. I feel really bad for you and hope your venting on us helps.

Secondlly;

"Today Tonight" or "A Current Affair" will track it down for free...

I'd report it stolen anyway hey, go down there with the police report or whatever. That should fire them up a bit to get it back. Then work at ways to get the placed closed down or something until your car is recovered.

Not good tho. Deadset next car I buy its going to be new. And Im going to be down the docks when it rocks up.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
