Sierra Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Failed rego transfer, can't find import and seating plate on E51 Elgrand Just tried to transfer rego for an Elgrand I picked up interstate (NSW car, trying to rego in TAS). Mechanic couldn't find the Import plate, or the Seating plate, and also said the VIN number (under panel beside driver seat) was the Japanese one, and not the "modified Australian VIN with extra digits". Anyone have any ideas? I transferred the rego in NSW into my name no problems when I bought the car, then moved down to Tas and tried to transfer it to local rego here and no luck. Rego papers match Jap VIN and have the extra numbers in front, so it's obviously somewhere on the car and was found previously to rego it in NSW. I've looked all under the bonnet, and anywhere else I can think of, and they put it on the hoist and looked around underneath and can't find anything. I didn't get any import papers with it, it was imported a while ago and passed through a couple owners since then. Previous owner doesn't have a clue either, bought it rego'd and just re-regoed with no issues. Thanks in advance.

DJBarnstar Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It is probably regoed as a campervan. My one was. You will need an engineering certificate, and that guy will put the right plate on.

GTR-N1 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Is it on the B pillar? If not, do you know who complied it in NSW ?

They said it's still supposed to have an import sticker, but since it's just a sticker, they fall off apparently.. and they're accepting the old rego papers as proof the VIN/etc matches properly. I was lucky the previous owner left the old rego papers in the glovebox. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/467549-failed-rego-transfer-cant-find-import-and-seating-plate-on-e51-elgrand/#findComment-7791758 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could've got a Highwaystar or one of the fancier ones but resisted and got a cheapie so my money can go on the Stagea. This is the only pic I've got so far (it's still stock/boring so haven't taken many pics)..
