We bought an R32 in Qld the other day. It was recently complied under the 15 year rule and registered in Qld for a month. The Qld owner deregoed it after he delivered it to our NSW address

We took it to an auvis inspection station for a blueslip but were told that even though the car has been complied and registered previously in Qld that it can't be registered in NSW because the engineer that complied the car isn't an approved engineering signatory in NSW so they don't recognise the mod plate or the engineering certificate. They want us to take it to a NSW engineer and pay $?00s

For another piece of paper.

Is there any way around this? Failing that does anyone have a list of approved NSW engineering signatories?

Thanks.

Register it in QLD again and drive in NSW?

How's that going to work, what happens when he has to change the rego over?

It may be painful, but could well be true. Who is telling you this? a RWC place or NSW transport?

If everything is up to scratch, getting another engineer to check it over should only cost $200 or something. May be the only way to do it.

Unfortunetly what you have been told is spot on.........only accredited NSW engineers reports will be accepted.

SOME requirements are slightly different in NSW so as a worst case scenario count on possibly having to do one or two things.

Other than that it is simply a matter of having a NSW engineer check the vehicle and write a several page report that you will pay through the nose for. I have been through this exact process when i sold an RX7 to someone in Lismore........But I covered the cost rather than leaving it to the new owner.

Good luck with it all.......I can't imagine you will have to many drama's with it.

The bloke at the blueslip station rang the local engineer about the child restraint requirements.

The car has had some fitted left, right and centre. They are nuts welded to a plate (apparently a Merc part) that are rivetted under the parcel shelf behind the rear speakers.

The NSW engineer said because the car was complied as a 5 seater, he would only pass them if they were mounted on a bar that was mounted above the parcel shelf. uggh!

I've seen a lot of R32s and I've never seen this long bar.

My other R32 was complied under the old scheme and it had child restraint anchors mounted on small metal bridges over each speaker and the bolt went through the speaker grille. It didn't have a centre anchor, probably because it was complied as a 4 seater.

Back then I checked the relevant ADRs on their website and the formula they use to position the anchor points meant they had to go in the speaker so I suppose the engineer is making sure it complies 100% to the ADR.

How come other engineers can pass these anchors in different positions?

Should I try and find a NSW engineer who will pass it 'as is', get the bar fitted or is there another way?

This sounds like b.s. to me if you call Southside Performance Imports im shore it can be sorted out 95424280

0416223437

Thanks for the advice.

Are Southside in Sydney? If so, and I need to take the car to them that's a 1600km round trailer job.

I understand that this engineer is just covering his ar$e by complying with the ADRs 100% but I don't know how much discretion they are allowed to bend the rules to keep things simple. After all these guys are supposed to have the knowledge to say whether something is safe or not.

Does any one know of an engineer that lives in the real world somewhere south of the Goldcoast?

I had my car engineered by "Phil Scott" engineering, he is in Grafton NSW. And i found him to be reasonable and not too expensive. Im not sure how close that is for you though.

I only had mods engineered on my car, i didnt have it complied by him. But give him a ring and see what he can do for you if your interested.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
