I called two places to see if they would rego inspect my '02 imported r33 gtst about a month ago. Both said it wouldn't be a problem and they were willing to check it. I did fail the first time round, but thats because of things that were legitimately unroadworthy.
As most people are going to say, its probably best to just get the car fixed and have no problems at all.
I ended up getting mine done at Kevin's Auto Repairs in Fyshwick. Nice guy, let me off without reverse lights working. But I think I got lucky.
Good luck,
Chris
