Hi, just wondering what things are require to re-register a complied import.

I'm looking at buying a 15year old R32 which has been complied and I want to know that I have everything required, so that when I rock up at QLD transport, with a RWC and cash for Rego and CTP insurance I'm not going to be turned away.

So what items could be required?

* A japanese complience plate? (the Blue sqare-ish ones)

* An Australian VIN number (ones that are usually engraved onto the fire wall or on a pop-rivited plate)

* The Australian complience plate (that reads "this vehicle complies with the low volume import rules of 1989" )- I've seen these on later model cars, like R33s etc. Are these required for the 1989 model cars?

What about paper work??

* Import approval paper work

* Complience paper work?

Thanks.

all they checked on my car was the complience plate, safety cert.

VIN number, theyalso check that the VIN number is registered on some system.. its called something like NAVDAS.

i also gave a copy of ID, and import approval but i dont kknow if thats needed

when i went to rego my car that i imported, i had a trainee doing it with a more knowlageble working standing behind him explaining things as he went, as he had not done an imported car before.

from what i heard, they basically entered the car into the system, cleared all the details (as in going out to look at all the right things) and made sure all the new details of the car (VIN etc) were ok and put them into the system.

form this, i would not thing there would be much needed other then your normal things to rego a car built in aus, as everything was cleared that first time, and the car is now on their system.

but, this is just my thoughts, obviously a call to your local main roads would give a more solid answer :D

shaun.

1) A japanese complience plate? (the Blue sqare-ish ones)

2) An Australian VIN number (ones that are usually engraved onto the fire wall or on a pop-rivited plate)

3) The Australian complience plate (that reads "this vehicle complies with the low volume import rules of 1989" )- I've seen these on later model cars, like R33s etc. Are these required for the 1989 model cars?

1) If you mean "engineers plate", yes you need that. This is different to an official compliance plate as on the SEVS or older system for cars newer than 15 years. It basically says "this vehicle meets ADR's for 1989"

2) yes, you will need the aussie VIN attached to the firewall, which is at the bottom of your import approval.

3) See point 1).. no.

I registered mine after compliance.. there were a few confusing stories I got, but in the end I spoke to the manager at QLD transport, and what i thought was correct.

You basically just need the above, a valid safety cert, the CTP papers, and your import approval (they check this). That is all you will need. You will have to also pay stamp duty, and a little bit extra for the issue of new plates.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
