I have bought a R32 gtr from a guy i know, handshake deal but no money has changed hands yet.

Basically I am worried about compliance rules

The car is a july 1989 model and was imported in september this year.

It has no compliance plates or anything which have been issued in australia, all it has is the japanese plate.

The seller assures me it is right to register in australia and that the only reason he hasn't done it is that he cant afford it.

It does not have a dashlight dimmer and I cant see any evidence of any mods done since it was imported.

Can anyone tell me the rules for Qld rego.

I dont want to hand over the cash and then find out It cannot be registered.

I have been told it is over 15 yrs therefore nothing is needed and the jap plate is sufficient.

Is there a site outlining what is needed to legalise this vehicle?

Any advice or help would be great Thanks Geoff.

Thanks Perhaps I should tell the seller to do this and just stick with the original agreed price. I bought it as a vehicle in a ready to register state there fore if it is not it should be upto him to complete.

If he wont do it how much do you think it wouild cost me to do it?, I will subtract this from the agreed price and organise it myself.

It does have a current Qld Safety Certificate should this have been issued?

Cheers

If it has not been complied to ADR's the safety cert. should NOT have been issued.

Compliance for a 15yr vehicles should only cost up to about $1500.

Provided the seller can provide you with an import approval....even if compliance has not yet been carried out.

If seller can not supply appropriate paperwork just walk away.

Turns out he imported it for a racecar (he didnt share this with me until I boned him for the paperwork) and it has no papers so I did a big goosestep and now am looking for another car.

Seems such a shame because It was a beautiful example of a 32 gtr.

oh well At least i know the rules now!!

Thanks for the help guys.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
