i am reading the pre 1989 scheme for NSW. jsut want confirmation if that vin number is the model year. or the actual build date? i understand the pre 89 scheme only applies to cars built before jan 1 1989

The link you posted above shows that the first cars were produced in August 1989 so unfortunately your car won't fall into any scheme that applies to cars built prior to 1 Jan 1989.

Please help

.

My engine has a plate showing "Chassis no : BNR32-001455"

this does not show up in the info shown in link below.

whats going onnnnn? :(

September, 1989.

As far as I'm aware there were no R32 GTR's built before Jan 89. Mine is build number 600 and something I think and was built in August 89.

Because the R32 GTR debuted in May 1989 and production would have started from then on.

some compliance places ive called asked when was it built etc. and that some r32's wont require a compliance plate. this is why im asking.

My compliance plate has gone missing. did not notice when i purchased car. didnt cross my mind as it was registered. its been unregistered while ive been building it and not upon getting my blue slip realised its not there. zzzz

If the car was brought in under the previous 15 year old rule, it won't have a "compliance" plate. It should have a second longer VIN number stamped somewhere in the engine bay if that's the case. That's all that should be required.

^^ This!

They would have just needed to add a few things on to comply to the 15 Year Old Rule SEVS Law and that will pass.

When the car was complied back in the day.

This may have just made my week. I have a black plate with the 17 digit vin number next to the Blue nissan manufacturers plate. I hope this is it. fingers crossed. ive just spend so much money getting the car finished if it isnt gonna be registered im gonna be spewing.

Don't sweat it. Should be ok.

You can also contact DOTARS if you end up needing a copy of the import approval for your vehicle, although that full VIN should do fine.

#@Anfanee how is this possible?

im slightly confused.

refer to this article.

"

The "15" Years Rule - Vehicles manufactured before 1/1/1989

The 15 Year rule was significantly altered as of 11 May 2005. Under the ammended rule if you import a vehicle which was manufactured before 1 January 1989 then it doesn't come under the SEVS ruling and does not need to be complied by a RAW. The vehicle may be imported and modified under a different set of criteria, with an engineer providing a report which demonstrates that the vehicle complies to the ADRs that were applicable at the time the vehicle was manufactured. Generally compliance for importing cars under this scheme is relatively inexpensive."

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
