Help! Unable To Register In Nsw Ever!

Hey fellas,

Got a real big problem here. I bought a 180sx from VIC and it was registered there until about 2 months ago. I am about to get it registered in NSW but when I gave the VIN to the RTA they recon it was imported into AUS as a dismantling/parts car only and so cannot be registered in NSW ever!! They say that VIC ROADS for some reason register these without a problem but they wont do it in NSW (RTA).

Anyone know if this is true, Ive spoken to 2 people at the RTA and they both tell me the same. Apparently it is because it has V97 in the VIN and any VIN's with this number in them are blocked so they cannot get passed the rego stage in their system. Here is the VIN (with the last 6 digits replaced with x)

6T91MPV91X2xxxxxx

What confuses me is the fact that it has a green compliance plate, with an approval number, an MA category, the date? (11/99), the VIN, who it was complianced by (Graham Docker & Assoc) and a 5 digit number at the end.

It looks like a standard VIN to me with the words "This vehicle was manufactured by Graham Docker & Associates Pty Ltd to comply with the motor vehicle standards act 1989 low volume procedures"

How can this be? Doesnt this mean it is complied? It also has ADR approved seatbelts, an instrument panel dimmer etc- Does anyone know if this is the case?

Is there anyone else who has V97 in their VIN and has had it registered in a state other than VIC?

Help Please!!

Talk to Graham Docker & Associates Pty Ltd, they will be able to tell you.

Personally I would reregister it in Vic, right now. Don't fight about an unregistered vehicle, time is not your friend. Get it registered, then you have 12 months to sort it out.

Cheers

      I would hope so. I worry that it also might depend on whether the person working on the claim has had a good day or not. I could imagine that for example modified brakes would be an easy thing to point to for affecting the outcome of an accident. I don't know. I will keep paying my premium and hope for the best. But at the same time keep safe distances, drive defensively and avoid dickhead P-platers in lifted utes

      I was just working on the assumption that a cammed V8 is significantly less polluty than a Japanese I6 turbo was at the way they tested it in an IM240. Perhaps I'm wrong! Perhaps cutting one of the readings I got in half is a tall order. I don't know too many people who actually got their cars emission tested with a RB to really compare the data.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).
