Hi peeps.

I've had my car (R32 GTST) many years so I bought it in a simpler age. Consequently it doesn't have the import tag on it. It's been registered in Tasmania, and had several RWC when I've let the rego lapse, but never been a problem. I mentioned the prospect of transferring rego to Queensland and have been informed that it will be an issue without the import Tag.

What's the experience of the group, and can I "affordably" get the Tag now. The car is essentially standard except for a few usual items, like air box etc.

The car is in Townsville.

Thanks

Brett

Your best bet will be to talk to TMR (Transport and Main Roads) and see what they say. I managed to register a 33 after it was stolen and recovered and had the import and compliance tag stolen.

You will find it easy in Queensland , there are no laws , plenty of cars with no ADRs or any compliance whatsoever driving around .

G'Day Cadmoon,

Ill steel myself for the bureaucarcy and start the process :-)

Hopefully I can grandfather into Queensland Rego!

Thanks for the positive anecdote :-)

Your best bet is to get transferred onto someone senior, the lady who answered when I called had NFI what a compliance plate was or what I was even talking about.

Not easy to register initially but once registered there are no further checks.

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
