i've never thought about it as it was never bought to go on the road, i'm now looking at getting it rego'd and i'm wanting to know if theres certain importing paperwork required to get a car rego'd of this age?

i have no idea how long the car has been in the country?

the R30 was produced in australia just not the HR30..

i can't find info on the VIN # through Qld transport as its pre 1989.

if someone knows what exactly is required in this situation that would be a great help.

Cheers, Matt....

If the car is already here, then establishing registration is a state issue. Need to speak to DOT.

DOTARS may be able to provide copies of the import paperwork, or at least have some records as to what scheme it was imported under.

Ok, i spoke to DOTARS and the VIN is not listed....

2 options,

car was imported illegally

or car was imported before 1989 which is when the register started..

if the car has never been rego'd then it will become a track car, if it has been rego'd before lots of money will be spent on it.

time to speck to Qld DOT...

Thanks for the help....

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
