Compliance, Is It Necessary For Track Cars?

[AMR33]

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 .

Yeah I thought as much.Cheers

To answer the original question: No.

To answer the original question: No.

Care to elaborate on that answer?

I'm pretty sure cars being sold purely for race/rally use don't need compliance however they can never be registered as they are sold only for that purpose.

Kristian could probably detail more.

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
