Im assuming there are a few people on here from around my area. In Brighton, there is a two tone white/grey stock silvia always parked down the main road and I see it driving around a fair bit.

The car wears Japanese plates front and back, and from what i can see, there is no Australian Registration sticker on it.

Just wondering if anyone would know about this car or the reason why the car may be allowed at all to drive around with those plates on? Maybe a temporary import or something? Always been interested and I have nfi.

Cheers.

I believe that if you owned the car overseas you can register the same plates here.

My friend who's family came to Oz (Vic) years back brought with them a jaguar with HK plate and registered it here in Vic.

that is rediculous.

the car must be registered locally with local plates.

crack must be cheap these days......

Well, I'm not on cracks for sure.

I've also been in the car too.

(btw, he is rich, runs a business in China, one of his house here is worth 1.3m, whether that has anything to do with it...)

(No, I'm not joking and not on crack)

hmm... if you don't know your taking crack then all we need to do is find out who is spiking your drinks then lol.

Perhaps he's so rich he just leaves the plates on and just throws fist fulls of money at the police when they pull him over.

To those who think I'm on crack...

That link you provided is for a UVP under Carnet (Unregistered Vehicle Permit... 'Unregistered' being the key word here) valid for 12 months after which the car must be exported back to the country of origin.

So no, you can't 'register' a car in Australia with foreign plates... thats absurd.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
