Question about Tags.......for r33

[Dim]

Hey i went to an auction today and had a look at an r33 gts-t.

There are a few things missing from it but nothing major......the thing that concerns me is the tag that sits on the left hand side of the firewall (usually blue in colour) is missing.....but the auction assures me the car can still be registered......the other 2 tags are there

What i want to know is say in 1 yr when i want to sell the car...will this detur ppl from purchasing the car.(if that tag is missing)

I had a look at my mates 33 and the tag im talking about is full of jap writing and has nothing to do with australia/compliance/rego purposes.

What do you guys think.............plz help as i really like this car.

dude, pm sent

im not sure but doesn't this mean the car is probably stolen?

no blue tag (VIN plate) is highly suspicious...

Without going out to my car and checking, that blue tag has the chassis number, engine code, paint codes, transmission codes etc...

[paulr33]

The blue plate is the engine spec plate put on the car at the time of manufacture. It specifies car model, engine model, serial # and some other weird stuff. Mine is in english. Attached is a pic of it, with the serial # blurred out.

I wouldn't buy a car with this missing, could a rebirth or might have had an engine swap / vin swap.

Your call

sounds dodgy to me, i would steer clear of it.

I think the blue plate is from japan, and wont matter over here when you want to register it.

I think what you need to have is the green plate, showing the new AU vin number, the year of manufacturer, and the manufacturers name (name of compliencer)
