R32 gtr compliance question

[Sneeky]

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.

You will have to replace all the seat belts, put 2 child restraint mounts in the rear,

side intrusion bars in the doors and replace the petrol filler.

Along with this you will need an import licence get it signed off and then get it registered.

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.
