Hey fellas,

Got a real big problem here. I bought a 180sx from VIC and it was registered there until about 2 months ago. I am about to get it registered in NSW but when I gave the VIN to the RTA they recon it was imported into AUS as a dismantling/parts car only and so cannot be registered in NSW ever!! They say that VIC ROADS for some reason register these without a problem but they wont do it in NSW (RTA).

Anyone know if this is true, Ive spoken to 2 people at the RTA and they both tell me the same. Apparently it is because it has V97 in the VIN and any VIN's with this number in them are blocked so they cannot get passed the rego stage in their system. Here is the VIN (with the last 6 digits replaced with x)

6T91MPV91X2xxxxxx

What confuses me is the fact that it has a green compliance plate, with an approval number, an MA category, the date? (11/99), the VIN, who it was complianced by (Graham Docker & Assoc) and a 5 digit number at the end.

It looks like a standard VIN to me with the words "This vehicle was manufactured by Graham Docker & Associates Pty Ltd to comply with the motor vehicle standards act 1989 low volume procedures"

How can this be? Doesnt this mean it is complied? It also has ADR approved seatbelts, an instrument panel dimmer etc- Does anyone know if this is the case?

Is there anyone else who has V97 in their VIN and has had it registered in a state other than VIC?

Help Please!!

Talk to Graham Docker & Associates Pty Ltd, they will be able to tell you.

Personally I would reregister it in Vic, right now. Don't fight about an unregistered vehicle, time is not your friend. Get it registered, then you have 12 months to sort it out.

Cheers

    • Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed
    • All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible  
    • Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
    • They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
