Registering A Non-Complied Car, Anyone Done This?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I've just bought myself a 32 GTR which i was led to beleive had previously been registered in aus and was complied ready to go, turns out this isn't true :(

So basically i need to put the car through transport and get an Australian VIN number stamped onto the chassis before i can proceed to register it, has anyone done this before? i'm really concerned about whats going to happen when it reaches transport as its had a little work done to it and is also a bit rough around the edges atm, the main concern i have though is it has an RB30 bottom end in it.

I'm also worried about the costs involved if they need to put side-intrusion bars in and change seatbelts, etc..

Any info will be appreciated,

Cheers,

Daniel.

Yeah i have a few times , does it have all the paperwork? (i.e import approval , engineers certificate if necessary , ais inspection ) , if it was a pre 89 , it will need aus spec seatbelts , babyseat bolts , r/h mirror in memory and usually the ais station puts the vin on the car with number/letter punch thingys

It's not a blue gtr with a odd looking front bar?

It did have an odd bar so yeah its it, its a 12/1990 model, i have the import document with the approval number, and its been to an AIS and had an inspection done, failed for tint, "unapproved suspension mods" (coilovers) and no australian compliance plate, tint has been removed, and the coilovers will be removed if it fails for it again where i'm going... just concerned about getting the compliance plate/vin number.

    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
