you are completely wrong mate. the link you posted talks about carnets for overseas citizens who want to bring their car out here to drive around, then leave. some bits from the link:

and to get one you have to pay a security equal to 100% of the value of the car to the issuing authority. AND it still does not allow you to "I believe that if you owned the car overseas you can register the same plates here." you are so far wrong it's not funny. actually it is a little bit funny.

when international cars come in for Targa Tasmania we even organise temp rego permits for them and they are only in Australia for a few weeks.

I'm sorry but you are clearly lying. I mean this guy has a 1.3 million dollar house and a 5 year old jaguar from hong kong... he must be right.

I never said he is a citizen here, and he did left.

I don't know what the fuzz is about. People saw cars with plates from other countries driving around, if you've never seen one, then don't believe me or others who saw them.

Back to the topic and I believe some of the info is potential answer to the OP, and thats that.

The 'fuzz' is about you claiming that cars can be registered with overseas numberplates in Australia. They can't. They get a UVP under carnet for a limited amount of time. Can't make it any clearer than that sorry... unless your idea of 'registration' includes Unregistered Vehicle Permits which would say alot :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
