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??

The wording on the rta website is so contradicting as usual..

but thanks Kristan, so its just like importing a 15 year old car once again..

i will let him know! going to be costly it seems.

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.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
