A bloke told me that there is a different level of complaince if you import a car yourself to if an importer imports one and that i wouldn't be able to register a car thats been imported privatly?

or once its complied thats it? the car im talking about is already registered in a different state

sorry if i missed this in the search

the Bloke must have been talking about a persoanl import these cars are owned by someone more than 12months overseas and are allowed in under the personal import Scheme not RAWS so the only go thru an Engineers certification and mod plated to be allowed to register this differs for all states . this would mean if you moved interstate it may need to be rechecked and signed off by an engineer from that state.

In the Case your question is asking if you are a private person importing or a dealer imports a vehicle unders the Raws system they are all complied axactly to a national standard set by raws and would be able to register in any state.

So really you need to find out if the car was a personal import or a Raws complied car. for your own information Personal imports have a yellow type Id plaque stating the vin and personal import. for old Raws complied cars they are green ID plate and in the last time raws went crazy they changed it to purple colour with all details of raws compliance workshops name and Vin # etc ..

ask the seller for a photo of the import plate it should clearly state what type of import it is.

Hope this helps

Regards, Phil

Ahh that makes sense now thanks mate! im pretty sure he didn't own it for 12 months over there he just imported it, i'll get a photo of the import plate but i can see a purple plate in the engine bay pic i have, can't read any numbers though

thanks for your help

edit so it doesnt matter what the numbers are on the purple plate as long as its purple? see attached link for pic

to be honest I would ring the relevant office in your state and state your case.

I own a personal import that I bought from interstate and for me (qld) it was a case of going to QT and registering it.

You don't need SEVS compliance, that personal import compliance plate is a federal scheme, so it's already qualified to be in the country.

Here in VIC, you'd need an engineer's certificate, I think NSW is the same. SA you just take it to regency I believe.

Anyways, like Chris said, check with your local state road agency to find out what you need to register a personal import (yellow plate).

cheers,

David @ Carizma

So i would have to get it complied to change states

In relation to imports, I had a look at this site:

http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan...?ps=25&so=2,

It provides a shipping estimator and Freight courier. I looked at the Skylines, Wrx and Evo's which are resonably priced.

I have no experience in this field and would like to know how much hoops do i have to jump to get this vehicle on the road in NSW ie RTA. Would i need engineers certificates or what ever cerificates ??????.

Some nice Imports in Japan, what are your thoughts.

Do a search on tradecarview and you'll find out what the general consensus is >_<

Aside from just being a place were dealers list their cars it is also were lazy arse people cut and paste images from and state it is some ones stock that supplies to them but half the time it is just some cheap piece of shit sitting in a dealers yard somewhere in Japan.

what are the requirements for xenon headlights and front windscreen replacement in regards to compliance?

i looked at a car from a backyard dealer who couldn't speak English very well and i'm sure he said that he doesn't bother removing the xenons or replacing the windscreen (although he said he was meant to) for compliance.

any help appreciated.

The headlights are supposed to be modified to accept H1 globes.

Windshield is usual part no. M1G4 for the 34 coupes, there could be others that pass the ADR as well, haven't seen the evidence recently.

Both headlights and windscreen have to be roadworthy as well of course, which is where you're more likely to run into problems rather than with the compliance of them.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I guess when I say it's a POS I mean.. the solution and the stuff has the capacity for maybe... 1 spot. You know, as a spot cleaner. What I really *want* is the ability to do an entire car, all upholstery, all carpet, mats, all seats, door card inserts, A pillars, roof liners, etc. In one go. I get lured by all the jank that comes out and think "I'd like to be able to clean to that degree"

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      I've got one (not the car one, the domestic spot cleaner one, which is basically the same jobbie) and have driven it hard for hours and hours at a time. Grimy sofas, 6' floor rugs, etc. I'd blame your specific example rather than the whole category. I haven't used mine in the car, because.... you know, it's my car. So there is no-one else's ball sweat in the driver's seat, there's no kid food/drink spills or hand prints inside because they've never had an opportunity to put them there. You know, basic, standard Skyline rules.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I normally run with I think a 10mm, and definitely use the second handle you can add to a drill. They hurt when they bins up!   For the crush tube, once all subframe is clear, I'd try some stilsons and see if I can get it to start to twist.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Probably because they couldn't, because the use of the variable resistor to create a "signal" in the ECU is managed by the ECU's circuitry. The only way that VDO could do it would be if they made a "smart" sensor that directly created the 0-5V signal itself. And that takes us back to the beginning. Well, in that case, you could do the crude digital (ie, binary, on or off) input that I mentioned before, to at least put a marker on the trace. If you pressed the button only at a series of known integer temperatures, say every 2°C from the start of your range of interest up to whatever you can manage, and you know what temperature the first press was at, then you'd have the voltage marked for all of those temperatures. And you can have more than one shot at it too. You can set the car up to get the oil hot (bypass oil coolers, mask off the air flow to oil coolers, and/or the radiator, to get the whole engine a bit hotter, then give it a bit of curry to get some measurements up near the top of the range.   On the subject of the formula for the data you provided, I did something different to Matt's approach, and got a slightly different linear formula, being Temp = -22.45*V + 118.32. Just a curve fit from Excel using all the points, instead of just throwing it through 2 points. A little more accurate, but not drastically different. Rsquared is only 0.9955 though, which is good but not great. If you could use higher order polynomials in the thingo, then a quadratic fit gives an excellent Rsquared of 0.9994. Temp = 2.1059*V^2 - 34.13*V + 133.27. The funny thing is, though, that I'd probably trust the linear fit more for extrapolation beyond the provided data. The quadratic might get a bit squirrely. Hang on, I'll use the formulae to extend the plots.... It's really big so you can see all the lines. I might have to say that I think I really still prefer the quadratic fit. It looks like the linear fit overstates the temperature in the middle of the input range, and would pretty solidly understate what the likely shape of the real curve would say at both ends.

      I got a hand held bisssel one and it's a piece of shit. Doesn't work for more than about 5 seconds. So much so that I nearly refuse to believe any wet dry vac actually works or has enough suction to clean the carpet of a car. I'm discouraged as all the good ones are $300+ for an unknown result. I saw MCM did a Ryobi video where they use this thing: https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/stick-vacuum-cleaners/18v-one-hptm-brushless-spot-cleaner-tool-only Anyone have any experience actually using a tool like this when not paid to showcase it?
