Searched this forum, others, Google and DPI and found nothing usefull ???

I've bought an 88 A31 over from Queensland, it was previously complied and registered in NSW as an RB20DE / Auto,

In Queensland, it was de-registered, and converted to an RB20DET / 5 Speed. Everything used was straight off another Cefiro (front mount intercooler, box, mounts, interior, etc), the only trace of ever being an auto is the compliance plate and wiring harnesses inside the car.

According to the DPI, upgrading a model to a higher performance release of the same model is allowed provided that you upgrade braking packages, mounts, etc to match that of the higher performance model (so, match my DET / 5MT with DET/5MT model brakes, mounts).

Do I need to get another compliance plate?

OR

What documents do I need to register the vehicle as is (how do I provide proof of what brakes, mounts etc are on it)??

Cheers fella's

PS: Thought I posted this in WA Section?

Can a mod please relocate this ??

In S.A we need to have an engineer sign off on the modifications done to prove that it meets the standards for road worthiness. an engineers certificate costs a bit but its worth it

ring your state registration/inspection institution and they should be able to tell you. but if its like here in s.a they arent very helpful most times. maybe even try and find out the place where it got complied and ring them as they are most probably an engineering place or know someone who can help you.

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
