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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
