Ok i did search too but didnt come up with my answers.

Anyway, I bought a car from the act that i am getting registered here this week. Getting the rwc on monday and booked in to vicroads on wednesday.

I'd like to register it as a 2 seater. Now when i booked in to vicroads, I asked the person on the phone what the requirements are(obviously remove seats and seatbelts), but did i need a vass to go with it. They had no idea, started rambling about how you can only change seating plans on buses, not cars. in other words, they were no help.

So question is, do i need a vass after removing seatbelts and rear seats, or can I just take it into vicroads on wednesday with the shit removed and register it as a 2 seater on the spot.

Thank You

:)

No, VASS isn't required.

I've done it coz I have a half cage.

Just take everything out and register as 2 seater as Martin said. Easy...

Only catch is if you wanna put it back to 4/5 seater then you need engineers cert even though you're only bolting factory stuff back in. Stupid but true.

I've done it: http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Registration/PermitsModificationsAndDefects/Modifications/RemoveAddReplaceSeats.htm

Removing seats

The requirements for removing seats will vary depending on:

  • the original number of seating positions
  • the new number of seating positions
  • which seats are removed
  • when the vehicle was manufactured

An Approval Certificate is not required if:

  • the number of original seating positions was less than 10
  • 10 or more seating positions have been reduced to 2 - 3 seats in the front row only
  • 10 or more seating positions have been reduced to 4 - 9 seats in a vehicle manufactured before 1970
  • more than 12 seating positions have been reduced to 10-12 seats in a vehicle manufactured before 1986
  • the number of seating positions does not reduce to below 13

If the modification is not listed above an Approval Certificate is required.

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
