Did a quick search on the forums but didnt find an answer. I know that if you import a car and you wish to drive it on the road it must be complied and registered etc

What if you import a car purely for track or parts and you do not wish to drive it on the road, does it need to be complied? Specifically in Perth (if that makes a different)

Thanks Guys

Mine isn't complied , as far as I am aware that is the whole point of importing race/rally use only vehicles . Being alot cheaper to buy for the Motorsport guys and saving the compliance head f**k for the importer .

Care to elaborate on that answer?

I think others have already done a good enough job of it. Track cars are imported for track use only. They only need to be complied if they're being registered for street use.

This thread got me off onto a tangent whereby this fellow in Wisconsin wasn't allowed to keep his '95 & '96 GT-Rs - even for use on a track.

So it ends up that Justin Beno of Wisconsin had to forfeit his restored GT-Rs only for the gov't too crush them and sell the scrap.

What a waste.

"After offering to pay the fines and help the authorities find buyers for both machines overseas, the prosecutor declined. Instead, both cars will be crushed and sold for scrap" thats ridiculous. I hate how some people have to go to the extreme and end up achieving no result whatsoever. Theres no reason why the cars MUST be crushed. Poor bloke, I'd be howling

Oh no one of them is the skyline from the fast and furious movie :(

You would have required the talent from "Argo Fark Yourself" to get that car out of Wisconsin > Jay Leno's garage

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
