Hi guys, I recently sold my R32 GTR in Perth to a bloke in NSW. He says he can't get it registered because it doesn't have a compliance plate. Now it has been registered in Perth since 2005 and there is no compliance plate on the car as far as I can see (just jap one). I checked this with mates R32's and none of them in WA have compliance plates. Is this because of the Aus Del. R32 GTRs? I know all my other skylines (R33 GTS, R33 GTR) had compliance plates.

Any info would be great guys cause ATM its messy cause to keep it on the road, its registered as a WA car...

PS, I MISS MY FKN GTR :D 19psi = 430rwhp =/

Import rules are national not state based, and I'm pretty sure WA has not seceeded yet.

If it does not have a compliance plate it came in under:

1. personal import

2. 15yo import (before it was shut down)

3. race rally import.

if you do not know which scheme it came under, DOTARS who approve all imports will. Also WA's car rego department must know as well. 1 and 2 are eligible for full rego, 3 is not.

Well it doesn't have a personal import plate (cause my M3 does, UK import).

I've never seen a "personal import plate" either, is that an official compliance plate in the engine bay?

my car doesn't have a compliance plate it just needed a blue slip due to it being a 89 model

That's the deal.....almost certainly the people who inspected it are not familiar with the rules. He needs to try elsewhere, maybe by phone first (I have a 15yo import with no compliance plate etc). or maybe start with nsw rta and get some paperwork he can show the blus slip guys

if it was imported AS a 15 year old import which is more than likely it will need an nsw engineers report and blue slip to regoed in nsw.

personal inport have a yellow complience plate similar to the green/ purple ones of today. Greg

Aaahh sorry to bump again, but he said the bluslip guys want it engineered ($1500 minimum apparently?) and he'd have to revert to stock - exhaust, turbos etc.

Best way now?

last mth bought gtr from qld unreg 915 y old rule)and to get it regist in nsw u need folowing

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
