Hi

I'm trying to register my newly acquired 1990 R32 and just got few issues with QLD Transport

The car was imported privately by previous owner, but I will be the 1st owner to register.

Car got complied with the Mod/Blue Plate with code L01 Aust Design Rules Comp.

1st issue no year stamp on the car's plates (jap and mod/comliance plate)

2nd Need import paperwork

now what import paper work do I need to provide? I called the previous owner and he said he'll get the people who complied it to email me a copy.

Now is this copy acceptable or do I need the original papers?

*note I'll post this in the QLD section for reference

please advice

Thanks in advance

you will need the import approval,

the yellow modification certificate that accompianies the blue mod plate in the engine bay

what other documents do you already have? where are you located? I know that some QLD transport offices are much more relaxed when it comes to newly registered imports.

went to Macgregor Transport centre

I dont have any of the papers yet, I'll be getting the compliance cert today and import approval via email...

this is what Im worried about if they'll accept this copy

In NSW you also need a weighbridge ticket, and CTP insurance in hard copy.

The centre simply take a photocopy anyway, so I'm guessing the copy SHOULD suffice. I have always had the original though, so I can't be 100% sure.

I have never been to MacGregor. I know that Woodridge have a rep for being the easiest to pass.. and the people are quite familiar with imports... many other places have no idea what they're looking for.

In QLD you don't need a weighbridge ticket, but yes, you will need to apply for CTP from say suncorp or RACQ BEFORE you go to QLD transport.

Also you will need a current Safety Certificate...

If you have the safety cert and CTP and the registration application form FULLY filled out, you can drive the car to the inspection centre... but only directly there. You will need to rego the car the SAME day as the CTP is written... I know with suncorp, you can change the original once only, then you need to cancel that CTP form, and get another one. (You will get a refund for the cancelled one, but it just takes time.)

Do you have the safety cert/ organised CTP yet?

Would dotars re-send a copy of the import approval document? Still looking for one of the pages to get the car registered but in a worst case scenario situation, would they re-send the papers?

The vehicle is approved and everything.

Yeah they usually will if you confirm ownership with them. I've done it before, no hassles.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
