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?

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.

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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
