i'm starting to look into weahter or not i can rego the HR30, what i've come up against so far is DOTARS dont have it listed so it is either not legal or imported before 1989 ??

i can't get any help from Qld transport without going through freedom of infomation as to weather or not the car has been rego'd before, i bought it 5 years ago without the intension of putting it on the road... unlikely to find the old owner to get the old rego #, i'm out of options???

anyone know what paperwork was required for cars imported pre 1989?

getting the work for compliance is no issue but not worth it if i can't get it rego'd?

Help!!

Maybe a bit dis-honest, but say you bought it interstate as a 15 year old import, and have misplaced the paperwork. Worked for me, I never received all the papers with my car, but I just pointed out the obvious things that had been done (new seatbelts, fuel filler neck etc.), and the dude was like, yeah that's cool....

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
