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.

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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
