Well hope someone can help with info or advice.
I bought my GTR R32 1989 model, 5 and a bit years ago. From stik performance a used car lot, with warranty and everything. But they are now out of business, and the owner may have a checked past.
I cant ever remember seeing a vin plate or compliance plate on the car but never really looked for it. But it has had rego for the last 5 years and the vin number on the rego label is correct with the cars chassis number. So i never had any questions about it. Also ive been pulled over by the cops a large number of times and never been questioned about it. Even petit has seen the under side of my bonnet a few times. Also the car has had a respray at some stage and the plates may have gone missing then.
So,
I was heading to auto salon on sunday and got pulled into a side street by mr pod.
They went over my car. The only thing they picked was the car had no vin plate or compliance plate on it, so they issued me a defect notice and said, present the car in 7 days to vic roads with a vin plate and compliance plate fitted and you will be right.
Today i rang vicroads and they said the car needs a vass or some shit done and a engineers and other stuff done.
Well my question is if they gave the car rego years ago shouldnt they have the info on record and just be able to reprint off some plates that i can fit to my car? After they check the engine, chassis numbers of course. Or what else can i do?
Any help or usefull info or advice would be greatly apperated.
Thank you.
