When you say doesn't come with a compliance plate I'm assuming it's been previously complied and registered in NSW as a 15 year import.

Pretty straightforward, your normal Regency inspection applies, make sure it's not defectable. If you have the import / rego papers from the previous owner it would be a lot easier.

Do not all cars get a compliance plate?

I'm about to purchase a gtr that is registered but has no compliance plate (does have compliance papers/certificate though).

I'm about to purchase a gtr that is registered but has no compliance plate (does have compliance papers/certificate though).

Sevs cars do, 15 y.o. do not. The 15 year old rule is no longer in use though, but there are still plenty of cars floating around that were complied under that system.

please help guys i have a vic resistered gtr32 with no compliance plate and no papers (werent supplied with sale DODGY CAR DEALERS AND MY IGNORANCE) and i need to register it in nsw and the guy that was going to do the blue slip said i need to find out who imported it of who complied it now how the hell am i supposed to do that if i aint got papers pm me or reply to this post if u know anythin cheers

You need to call DOTARS, Vehicle Imports Enquiries

Ph: 1800 815 272

Fax: (02) 6274 6013

Give them VIN number, and provide proof of ownership and they SHOULD be able to assist you with a copy of the papers.

that depends on who complied them mate. I have recently imported and complied a couple of 15yo cars and they both had compliance plates fitted. BUT i have seen plenty of them without too. as for SEVS all SEVS cars now have a compliance sticker (i've just imported and complied a sevs car too).

also, the 15yo is still in action but it's fixed at 1988. so I guess it's a 19year rule now...

    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
