Importing V35 Skyline (help)

[manda23]

I brought a 2003 6m 350gt two months back and it arrived last week. The condition of the car i was more then happy with seeing its a 4.5 grade b.

After only a day its already steam cleaned and it"s already at the compliance shop . Now i do have some after market parts which include :

19" alloy wheels

aftermarket exhaust system

neon lights

impul cpu

recaro seats

Now im being told and i have read that everything needs to go to factory standard. The good news is that a friend of mine who just imported another v35 2003 is factory stock standard ,and the same compliance shop is doing his car as well.

My question is can i take everything off his car ,the factory wheels , seats , exhaust , engine cpu ,etc put them on my car will it then pass compliance?

And then take them back off again and put all my goodies on and drive away. whats with that cpu can you just take them out and then put another one back in again and it doesnt change anything? The tyres i have with the alloy wheels the front ones are pretty worn you fell the guide that runs across to tell you that your due for new tyres.

Also once the car passes the compliance then what happens what do you need to do ?

Thanks to all those in advance

Speak to your workshop, they can best figure out what's the go with the aftermarket parts.

Once it comes out of compliance, you need to take the following to the RTA - Engineering Cert, copies of the Import Approval and CIN documentation (the import paperwork), weighbridge ticket, blue slip. Usually the workshop should be able to arrange all that for you.

Get green slip beforehand, go to RTA, pay fees for stamp duty, registration and number plates, and off you go. Don't forget to sort out at least third party insurance, and an immobiliser as soon as possible.

Details are also here in case you need them: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/get...edvehicles.html

I have been trying to call around for a green slip and the first thing they ask is what date do you want it to start. How can i know that when i dont know when the car will be ready for registration. And in regards to the number plate i wanted to get personal plates and the car has got an immobiliser but again im told has to go.

You will enjoy driving it, I have had mine Skyline 350 GT 6 Speed for about a year I love it, they have a real nice smooth power with a stack of top end get up and go! Mine came with a Nismo exhaust system and I find it revs alot better than a stock one.

Only problem I have with mine is the speed limiter!

They look really good with 19 inch wheels to, I sold one to a lad he put a real nice set of Volk rims on it.

You will have to post some pics or us.

Green slip you will only need to arrange once the car has finished compliance. It only takes about 15 minutes to arrange green slip cover so don't worry about that too much for now.

Personal plates take a few weeks so you should order them now if you haven't already. If your car is ready to register and the plates aren't ready, just register it with standard number plates and swap over the new ones when they are ready (or wait and do it all together).

Immobiliser on the car wouldn't be up to standards for insurance anyway, you need one which is meets Australian Standards for insurance purposes.

What do you mean the speed limiter ? What is that i didnt see one in my car . I have the fujitsubo factory optioned exhaust.If its a factory fitted option does it still need to be changed for compliance ?

The compliance shop said that the alloy wheels which are 19" maybe be within the place card or something. The front tyre size is 245/35/19 and the rear is 275/35/19 . Is that within the legal limit of the car ?

You can drive them any faster than 100 KM/phr !!

No that have a factory cut of 190km that all, when you drive it you may find out what I mean.
