Another compliance question.... "rebuild" plates???


Recommended Posts

We are looking at an Evo IV for a mate tomorrow, it is apparently not complied, but registered under "Rebuild" or "Rebuilt" plates... it is apparently legal to register these...

Anyone can shed any light ASAP on this :confused:

thanks!

No plates were ever available for evolution IV...they are all rebuilt vehicles with the exception of a few cases of personal import (yellow Tags)Nothing wrong with a rebuilt vehicle at all 100 percent legal

yeah they are legal and they are approved by DOTARS, if at all in doubt submit the VIN numbers and Chassis numbers to DOTARS and have em do a background check, think it costs like 50 quid but you'll be all the more wiser to the history of the car.

no such thing as a rebuild plate duncan and munkey they have nothing to do with dotars......the car would have been bought in for wrecking under the old scheme pre 8th march 2002 or imported as a race car then "stripped" and rebuilt...dotars will not know any history on this vehicle

an engineer will inspect it to make sure the following have been fitted ....original aust delivered seat belts,child restraint anchor points,normal mirror,dimmer switch,ulp filler neck,high mount stop lamp,tyre and emmisions placard,side intrusion bars and new tyres

thought under the old system all plates were issued by Dotars and all engineers reported back to dotars meaning that all paperwork will be archived at their office?

if not then who keeps track of all the paperwork and legal issues concerning the plates?

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
