I am from JLM and yes the guys are right the blueslip is only an inspection.

What John P is doing is trying to save you a little grief at the RTA that is all (he's being helpful) as many RTA / RMS staff are not aware of the rules on imports.

The argument is this - The car will already be in the RTA / RMS system as they as almost completely linked now so the majority of the details will already be in the AIS online system. If it is already there the slip is very easy to do.

Unless the car is a 15 year rule car with no "compliance plate" it does not need an engineers report & if you go to the right RTA office who understands the import system they will just process the car through for you. Not all RTA / RMS offices understand the rules, I even have trouble registering cars sometimes at the local office and have to tell the person behind the counter how to process the paperwork.

Honestly the RTA / RMS system and it's rules contradict themselves on a daily basis and that is why many shops have different opinions on how to get an import registered.

If we can help just pop in with what you have got and we will sort it out for you on the day.

Thanks so much for this reply!! I wanted to call but was off to a meeting and finished really late, didnt want to call too late. I cannot agree more and John is helping me out as much as he can - he doesnt do the Blue Slips unfortunately - but he is definitely helping me out and i truly appreciate it.

The car currently - they mentioned is Complaint to all aspects - only need to have the documentation - import papers and engineers report.

I have already gotten the Import Document - that was sent to me by Vehicle imports -

I refer to your email of 28 April 2014 requesting a copy of the Import Approval issued for a 1989 Nissan Skyline with VIN/Chassis No. 6U9000BNR32004013.

Due to the privacy Act this department cannot release a copy of the original import approval to you as you were not the original importer of this vehicle.

I can confirm that Import Approval 39259/49 was issued on 14 December 2004 for a 1989 Nissan Skyline with VIN/Chassis No. 6U9000BNR32004013 under Motor Vehicle 15 Years Old or Older.

This letter constitutes a copy of the relevant details of the Vehicle Import Approval. It may assist you with your vehicle’s registration.

Was the reply that they have issued to me. I sent it over to the Blue Slip guys - then they said that i need the Engineer papers.

It will be great if you could help me sort out this Blue Slip - as RTA mentioned that i will need a Blue Slip, Green Slip, Application Form, and proof of purchase. The car is currently Road Legal and rego in Queensland.

John is going to speak to someone in the RMS tomorrow - thats why i said i truly appreciate him helping me - ill see what he says - if he cant sort it out for me - i will contact you / LMS for this.

Thank you again for all the help! I see some light! hahaha

RMS said i do need an Engineers report - and the car was imported under the older than 15 year rule - Please correct me if i am wrong.

If i do need an engineers report - does anyone know of anyone and how much does it cost?

The current rego ends 29th May - will need to get al lthese sorted to do the NSW rego before then... all the help and info i can get will be great.

Please do let me know.

Thanks in advance!

This is retarded.... I made a thread, unaware that Desmond had already made this one.

"Hey everyone, I know this topic has been done to death, but I'm hoping someone could shed some light for me....

I recently sold my R32 GTR to a member on this forum. I live in QLD, he's from Sydney. Now, the car was imported and complied (I don't have the original documents of import) and there was a mod plate put in the engine bay to signify that it was complied.

This car has been registered in the hands of a few owners in QLD over the past few years, there is no doubt that the car has passed compliance.

The bloke that bought it off me has taken it down to Sydney and the RTA are making him jump through all sorts of hoops. They've stipulated that they need the original import paperwork (no idea why when the car is already complied), which is understandably MIA since the car has been in the country for a number of years; and to top it all off, they're now requesting that he gets the car engineered so it can be registered in NSW.

It has no visible modifications that would require an engineers certificate; this is purely being asked of him just so his car can be registered as the import papers aren't with the car (despite the car being complied....).

Can anyone shed some light on this issue? SURELY he doesn't have to get the car engineered just to register it.

Sorry if this is vaguely written, I am only passing on third hand information that I've been given.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Trent"

I was asked to do the same thing when I went to re-register my R32 GTR that I had owned for 10 yars (at the time) and had been previously registered in NSW (and complied under the 15 year rule).

I simply went to another blue slip place and he passed it without a problem. Went to the RTA and re-registered it.

Guess it is just you and your luck.

I bought my wagon from an import dealer in QLD. It has no 'mod plate', even though it was QLD rego, just the usual compliance sticker. I had no trouble when I had it blue slipped here (inspector had to request if the new VIN was in the Aus system from QLD transport). RTA/RMS Blacktown was hassle free!

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
