Re-Rego Non-Regoe'd Gtr?

[RBMunkie]

Ok, so those who've seen it know I have LOST MY PAPERS.
Rego, transfer, etc.

Now - I'm sure we've all seen/done/known a bodgied rego purchase receipt.
So that's out of the way.
I CANNOT GET INTO CONTACT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER.


Ok - so here's the deal - the GTR has been registered in Australia for over 6 years previously - and the rego was cancelled before I bought it, so it is a completely clear title.
It is an import, so it has been cleared etc, as it was regoe'd before.

So, normally it could be re-registered yes?
As long as I have receipt of purchase and clear VIN.

Or is there a time limit for imported vehicles before I require the import duties?
Or as it has been regoe'd and cleared before I just re-rego on the clear VIN?


Simply - regoe'd before, lost papers, imported vehicle, wanna re-register in about 2 or three years.

If I can't re-rego it.
I will have to strip it for parts - which I REALLY don't want to do.

Receipt must have both the vin and engine number, beyond that its the same as any other car

[RBMunkie]

So - three years from now I still just re-rego like any other car?
No import crap? (dunno why I am saying this, a mate said I might need my import papers after a certain time out of rego.)

[luke gtr]

I didnt need them when I blueslipped a starlet gt.

check with your inspector.

[RBMunkie]

I'll check with my bluey dude.
lol.

If I need 'em I will just part it out and help keep other GTR's on the road.


And then buy a Supra.

It is a low volume import? The one that needs compliance. Should have a green or purple compliance plate/sticker in the engine bay (depending when compliance was done).

If it is a personal import you may have some trouble (personal import is when you own the car for more than 12months overseas...) I'm guessing yours would have been a normal low volume import.

You'll be fine unless you can't access the engine number. I once had a car that needed the physical engine number sighted even though it was an ex Australia Post van that only had its rego cancelled because it sold at auction. Needless to say I didn't get the engine number sighted as that would have reqired an engine out job, got a mate to "sight it". That was back in 2002 though.

Ok, all good then. :-)

Let me just check my crystal ball and see if RMS is going to change its requirements in the next three years...

Nup sorry... Too foggy to tell...

[RBMunkie]

HAHA, so true.
