Hi guys i have to get my gtst 89 on the road here in vic. I need some contact details of a good engineer to comply the car to the 15 year old import rules and a contact to weld/tack intrusion bars in doors thanks louis

15yo import rules dont exist anymore, you have to go through full compliance and you need a workshop who has a sevs licesne to do it, contact vic roads they will give you a list.

Howdy baron i imported it 7 years ago as a 15 year car

its a standard approval

thanks

louis

In that case you can comply it under the 15 year rule. There is a list of engineers for Vic around somewhere, perhaps the VicRoads website.

hi Louis, when you say 'standard approval' there isn't really such a thing. if it was 7 years ago it may well have been imported under the old LVIS (Low Volume Import Scheme). In that case you may be out of luck. if you imported it 7 years ago that was 2002. in 2002 we could only import cars built up to 1987 under the 15yo rule so in that case your car was definitely not a 15yo car. it may be too late to have it complied under it's current import approval. if you still have it can you post a scan of it up? feel free to black out your name, the chassis number, approval number etc but it will at least mean we can give you some advice.

edit: just read your post properly, you say it was a 15yo import approval but if it was 7 years ago I don't see how you could get an 89 GTST? Anyway assuming you do have it imported under the 15yo rule you should be able to just go through the basic requirements for it to be able to be registered in your chosen state. They might ask some questions as to why you didn't get it done in the last 5 years or so.....

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
