if its 1992 model its either brought in as race use only, in which you CANNOT comply it, or it has to be imported through a RAWS workshop, who do the compliance work....

I sure hope you haven't bought a race only vehicle thinking it could be complied....

did you get any paperwork when you bought it??

compliance for sevs vehicles is usually minimum $2500

you can get quotes for basic compliancing,they do vary a bit.they will give you just the basic compliance checklist that is complusory and will cost lest 2 or 3 k.eg.the cat conversion is dear...they will only change brake pads and other needed repairs if needed and you tell them to do it.

It CAN be complied if it's manufactured in June '92 or later. Check the VIN to see what month it was made in.

Other than that, it can't since Nissan brought in those models themselves from mid '91 until mid '92.

who holds the import approval?

1992 r32 ?

your screwed if you want compliance .it can NOT be complied for road use

if its a 1992 australian delivered skyline all it needs is to be roadworthy and pit passed

a 1992 R32 should have side intrusion bars in the doors already.

It has to be complied by a RAW under the SEVS scheme. If its been in the country for over a year you might not be able to comply it. For it to be in the country already a RAW must have its paperwork, so your first job would be to transfer that paperwork from the RAW that imported it to the RAW that you choose to comply it.

Unless as posted previously its a race import... in which case you can't road register it anyways.

Best bet is to ring DOTARS and run the VIN number by them to see who holds the paperwork for it. If they say "that car was meant to be destroyed or re-exported a while back" well... heh good luck with that.

correct, Nissan brought in the R32 GTR only, but that doesn't matter. It's just the R32 part that matters, so the ruling applies to all R32's, regardless of whether they're GTR's or GTS-T's. From chassy number (R32 GTS-T) HCR32 271123 onwards is ok.....

took us a while to figure that one out....if you need to know the chassy numbers for non-turbos, gts-4 and gtr's, email me or give us a call....

might cost you a beer or two, haha.

david @ carizma

I thought it shouldn't matter what year the car is (unless it was brought under the 15yo rule?)

It's a gts-t and they were never brought into australia in full volume were they?

Good luck sorting it out buddy.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
