Getting A Gtr Shell To Be Registered

[dmac_25]

Hi,

Just brought a gtr shell on the weekend it has not been registered in aus before think it is a 89 model not sure getting that checked out.

What would need to be done to get it on the road i was goin to use it for track and dutton rallies etc where is has to have some form of road reg.

Would it be worth looking at club or rally reg?

Thanks

The ability to register this GTR will depend on how it was imported to Australia - with any luck the seller will provide you with the original import paperwork or at the very least the import approval from DOTARS, then we can advise on how to proceed with getting it registered if it's at all possible. Please feel free to message me with more details once you know and I will be happy to advise further.

Thank you very much for the info.

If he has no paper work is the anyway of finding out the history of it?

Get the VIN and ring DOTARS explaining your situation. They will be the department that can confirm the status of the vehicle and how it was imported into Australia.

If you have no import approval paperwork then you will never be able to get the shell registered.

If the car has not been imported under the road registerable sections of the law, (ie 15 yea rule, Personal import etc) then it cannot be registered for road use. If it was and the owner simply does not have the paperwork for any reason, then DOTARS can provide a certified copy of the original import approval.

DOTARS must have something for that VIN, it didn't sneak in on its own did it?

Thanks fellas.

I will do that.

The bloke i got it off got it off a workshop they took the engine out to put in another gtr or sumthing and he got it as a rolling shell now i got it off him.

What about rally rego what are the rules for that?

Just found out it was built 1/90 if that helps?

Thanks David

Just got onto DOTARS they said it could be registered and that it was imported in Dec 05.

Im asking for the paperwork now what else would need to be done to get it on the road?

Almost certainly imported as a 15year old car just before the rules changed. So depending on which state you are in you will have different minimum requirements.

I am in vic so it will be registered in vic THanks for the help

i think rally rego would be ok, as its not on the road and neednt be, well safety etc for general road use, only rally satey ie. roll cages seat belt harrnesses and such as opposed to rda approved bonnets and ride heights or full interiors and such. road and track/rally rego's are different in a respect.

hope that helps, s.
