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

      Import insurance in 2025

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
