Anyone Got A 32 Front Bar?

[Ben_R32]

Hi all,

Long time since I've been on. Used to use another username but now I can't remember it.

I've got a calsonic-ish blue R32 GTS-T which I've used as a track only drifter since I imported it.

Latest development is that I want to street register it, and to that end I took it through Dickson last week. Naturally it failed (it's not complied or engineered yet).

No need to worry for my sanity, I never expected it to pass. But for a weekly permit it has to go through Dickson first, and when it fails the inspectors have to allow it to get 'Unrestricted' permits - I got a restricted fail which means the best I can do is a 2 hr permit.

It's got no front bar - I destroyed my original Bomex at Wakefield a while back - and before I took the car in I rang up to see if that was ok. I was told as long as there were no sharp edges it should be ok, so I unbolted the reo which just left the headlights, cooler and piping. I figured that would be ok, but it turns out the vanes in my cooler are sharp edges, hence the restricted fail.

If anyone local has a 32 front bar for sale, or knows of someone who might, let me know because I'm in the market. Once I can get weekly permits that'll give me some freedom to take it to an engineer.

Sorry for the long post, it helps to talk about it.

I was under the impression that any imported cars had to be complied within 3 months or something of being in OZ otherwise it could never be road registered. I could be way off i just remember hearing it somewhere.

Thanks Cef, pm replied to.

Leech that 3 month rule probably applies to cars imported under the SEVS rules (Specialist & Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme). Under these rules compliance is a mandatory step in the importing process and it wouldn't surprise me if they set a time limit on it. I brought my car in a few years ago under the old 15 year rule and there's no time limit on complying it.
