Compliance Plate! Help!

[evian]

Where can I find compliance plates or Compliance plate holders? and how much is a R32 GTST compliance nowadays ?

Cheers!

If its older than 15 years you have no problem .

If not and its already in australia you will not get it complied . If still in japan there is a place in sydney that have plates for 32's now .As you are in melbourne i couldnt tell you .

Evian can you please be specific what you're after?

A compliance plate is usually riveted to the engine bay of the car and not something you need a 'holder' for. Any car coming into Australia needs one of sorts - under SEVS you get a plate, whilst under the 15 year rule a plate with the local VIN is affixed to the car.

As wrxhoon said, there is one place in Sydney that now does R32 GTST SEVS compliance work. You'd need to contact them for a price.

You have to get the car complied at a (RAWS) Registered Automotive Workshop, and they will apply for the compliance plate for you.. Cost for a 33gts-t was $3950 for me. Might be same price for 32gts-t..

Right! Anyone can private message me the details for the Sydney Compliance plate R32 ...

I'm still looking in importing one. So I don't have the car with me. Also I thought the 15 Year thing is over isn't it ? You can no longer bring 15 year old cars in without compliance..? Well please correct me if I got that wrong.

[wrxhoon]

You can still bring 15y.o. cars in but it can finish anytime now .

If you want to bring a 32 give me a p.m. and can put you in touch with someone in japan to buy the car for you so you dont have to pay an extra $1000 to saomeone in australia as well .

This thread shows:

yeah it mentioned that its officially over and 1988 cars only

correct me with any info !

Cheers!!

Actually Evian if you read the thread it shows the full story. The Govt has proposed a change to the 15 year rule, but it has not been officially 'gazetted' yet (published). Until it is, the current rule continues to apply and you are still able to import cars under the 15 year rule.

what if my car is on the way here and suddenly things approved for the change of 15 year old law ? I should read the thread.. but just too long at this stage, weekend perhaps !!

[evian]

read breifly in this link:

http://www.dotars.gov.au/transreg/vsb/vsb_10.htm

it mentioned about approved. can someone correct me further? cheers!

Ring up an importing company and ask them, im sure they all have their hands on the most up to date info. Try www.prestigemotorsport.com.au

AFAIK, the 15 year old rule is still going, and as long as you can show proof of purchase before the rule change, you can still import your car.

[evian]

do u mean do something wif the date ?? lol !! heard about that but sounds risky if doesn't aprove in Canberra, then I'll have a car sitting in Japan for nothing

anyways thanks for all the details ! will check into it soon !

Hey guys, still on topic, I am considering buying a late 89' model R32 GTS-T, its already here in the country. Can I still get 15 y.o compliance on the car? I know this costs ~$1200, is there anyone who knows a good place in Brisbane to do the job? Thanks very much for any help you can offer.

[wrxhoon]

Be carefull the person that imported it should get that , it may have been imported as a race car only. Check the import papers .

[esprit]

Anything in particular to look for on the import papers to make sure it wasn't imported for race use only? Will it say "Race use only"

Ask to have a look at the Import Approval. It will tell you what scheme the car was imported under (15 year rule, race rally import, etc).
