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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
