Hi everyone, I have purchased a R32 GTR that was unregistered. the previous owner said it was registered in NSW 6-7 years ago. Did a PPSR check and it came clean, the date of compliance was more than 30 years ago, last registered state was NSW & currently unregistered.. I could only find the VIN number inside the bonnet, which match the chassis & engine number, couldn't find the Compliance plate anywhere but the PPSR check says its compliant. I was told by my mates that I need to get an ID check done to get it registered in SA. any help is highly appreciated. 

Thanks!

Definitely need id check. They aren't the same guys that do the full inspections, but they won't let obvious modifications through, can't have loud exhaust etc.

Ring them and ask re missing plate. Is it an import?

Okie. it got coilovers, turbo gauge & got few chassis rail bend due to forklift..exhaust it not loud, apart from that its all good. 

I was told it was on storage for few years here in aus. probably grey import 30 years back, maybe has taken part in 1990 bathurst :D lol..

ring who ? it was previously registered in NSW though.

Ring the place that does the inspections.

 

Metropolitan Adelaide

Metropolitan vehicle identity assessment station
7 Naweena Road
Regency Park SA 5010

Phone 8400 8777

Open 8.00 am to 4.30 pm Monday to Friday. No appointment needed.

 

 

Doesn't mater where it was previously registered. These are the guys that will make or break your day.  It has to go through there.

Coilovers won't work with them, but you may as well ask yourself.

Will give them a call. Thanks Mate!.. 

The mechanic said Its cheaper for me to get the coilovers adjusted to legal limit and get an engineer certified. Rather than changing it to stock. I don't mind both.

if it gets called in for an actual roadworthy inspection after the ID check (which I would expect!), then;

Horn, demisters (front and rear), all lights everywhere - must be working.

Seatbelts must not be frayed.

ECU must be stock.

Numberplates must not me bent, cut or otherwise modified (and this probably won't be an issue on an unreg car!)

Seat foam must not be collapsing and dandruffing the floor.\

>100mm ground clearance everywhere.

Must be above minimum eyebrow height at all 4 corners.

Brake performance will be tested on their brake tester rig.

Steering mods (ie HICAS lock bar) will be looked at. And failed, if present.

Probably more.

U reckon ? 

I will get it close to stock as much as possible. don't want to get defected later on for something minor, being these cars are cop magnets..lol

1988 cars and some very early 1989 brought in under 15 year old rule before axed did not get compliance plates. Only vin. 

What year is it ?

Yaaa.. thats what I have gathers so far... this is a 1989 car & compliance in PPSR shows 1989 was the year of compliance. 

Been there, done that, as I said elsewhere/before. Engine conversion required full inspection. The blokes who do it are not silly, and they know the tricks, and they know the rules, and they will only be a little bit flexible on some of them.

I've seen dipshits go back 3 times.

Engine & most stuffs are stock & matches the PPSR :) .. only the Coilover is aftermarket..

Ya, they were friendly. If I have coilovers I have to get an engineer certificate and get vehicle modification inspection done. I might as well put a stock suspension and get ID Check done. Don't mind leaving the stock in. Any idea where I can get one? 

As the vehicle has been previously registered I may have to get an exemption of compliance or check with the previous state where it was registered and get that info. Not bad

Can confirm. At least here in WA. I just passed the pits on Friday :)

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
