I don't really understand your question?

Almost all cars have to meet ADRs to be registered.

If it is a 15yo or personal import, an engineer can confirm this

If it comes in under SEVS it is up to the complier to confirm it

If it is rally import it does not need to comply.

But this all depends on what the import approval was in the first place?

i had to do the exact same thing, in fact I was actually going to look at the car you bought but the dude never answered so i ended up getting another GTR in Vic.

If you've got any specific questions pm me and i'll be happy to pass on what happened to get my car through.

Do you mean as in - if the complience plates are missing, you can have it exempted from needing to have one fitted?

If so, yes I have done that - and it's relativly easy - regency park did it for me actually.

yeah got no complance plate under the bonnet. apparenty it wasnt fitted(the car came in under the 15yo rule) i have the engineers certificate and import approval. and some peice of paper that i had to sign (buyer and seller thing) when i got the car.

i went for an identity check and they didnt let me do it(as there was no plate fitted) so i have to have an exempt from complance check done

If your car was originally complied and you've lost the plate, you can have one reissued for $40.00.

In my case it was free because I was never sent the bill.

15 year old cars don't get compliance plates... they'll have an australian VIN number stamped onto the chassis or rivetted onto it, which should come up on the system though. If you have an engineers cert and the engineer is recognised by your local road transport authority, then you should have no issues.

We bought an 89 GTR from Sydney. As 89s do not come fitted with the green compliance plate, the car had to undergo a full inspection at Regency, along with us having to show proof of compliance (i.e engineer's certificate) and import approval papers.

Regency provided me with an Application for Exemption from Compliance Plates form which had to be filled out and submitted with the other import papers etc.

Ours was a fresh import and had never registered before, but we were advised that even if it had been previously registered in another state, we would still have been required to undergo a full inspection.

cheers people, so far ya all have help heaps! im not as stressed bout taking it throught now haha. i haev a small patch of rust on the car underneath! will they let me through with that?

[chops]

Any rust on a part of the car that does not unbolt is a defect and may not get through.

Where abouts is this rust?

[Turbz_13]

the patch of rush is in the inner sill panel(drivers side rear) only slightly larger then a 20c peice.

I got done for a small bubble of rust under the windscreen... i'd suggest doing some "rust repairs" before you go...
