So a friend of mine wants a car from Vic..

its been bought in under the 15 yer rule i have the documents infront of me for this,

it was previously registered in vic, but rego has lapsed..

i have been told i need to get it full engineered to get it registered in nsw.. so 1500 or so.. ontop of rego etc..

is this correct? i was under the impression i only needed to get a blueslip??

exactly. 15yo rule 'compliance' (i use the word loosely) was a state thing. so each state had a slightly different interpretation of what needed to be done to 15yo imports to meet basic ADR and registration requirements in each state. so a car imported under the 15yo rule and registered in say qld, then sold and brought to NSW will most likely have to undergo some changes and at the least will need the engineers inspection.

Has this changed recenlty?

I purchased my 32 as a 15yo+ car out of Victoria, and just did a simple normal roadworthy (required whenever a car changes hands or rego lapses) and rego'd it in Qld.

It depends on whether or not it has a compliance plate - if it came in under the old 15 year rule, it wouldn't have a plate. Chances are it was actually complied, either under SEVS or under the old system.

is this for all cars or just modded ones?

All cars imported under the pre-1989 and 15-year rules that don't have compliance plates.

No, no plate, just an Aussie VIN punched into the tower.

to be honest it really depends on what state. as in both what state it was originally registered in and which state you want to register it in now. I can't give 100% answer and neither can the roads authority in your state. ring them 5 times and you will get 5 different answers to a question that only has 2 options... :P

but basically like iron chef said 15yo stuff was state based basic rego and adr requirements how that was interpreted differed pretty strongly from state to state so it can be a hassle or it could be a piece of piss. only one way to find out.....

Sorry for the thread bump,

But i briefly spoke to Iron Chef a week or so ago about bringing my car from Qld to S.A.

Pretty much its just a check over the whole car to make sure it complies to S.A.'s rules.

Any modification plates added (mine for instance was engineered with larger wheels and a roll cage) are null and void.

I rang up Transport S.A. and they pretty much said, get it checked out and if it meets the rego requirements, it'll get rego with an I.D. inspection.

Im still getting more information as the day goes, but ill be ringing regency when i get off my lunch break to just double check everything.

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
