Need Help Getting My Car Registered

[BOODI]

Hey guys, i bought a skyline R32 from Melbourne drove it back, with vic rego till november.... i have 14 days in SA with rego, thats gone.. i took it down to regency and everything was fine, sept the bloke said i have no compliance plate , i was like wtf is that , then he described what is was to me... and i really didnt understand the stages to go through to get it.. i was just wondering if anyone could give me simple steps to get my compliance plates... cheers

Take it to a compliance workshop and get it complied, if it was registered in vic then it should have had one already.

was it an ex track car?

[BOODI]

nah its never been on the track.... im wondering why it got a full roadworthy in victoria but not in SA...... and why it ddosnt have a compliance plate..

Is the compliance plate in a different place? Check door jams, and check the fire wall and strut tower in the engine bay.

Dodgy victorian comnpliance places.

thats weird all imports coming off the boat need a compliance plate straight away to be registered. Iv got a 32 GTR coming in from japan soon so il be in your shoes, im lookin at roughly 2 - 2.5k for compliance.

[jrm]

Personal import or under the 15 year rule?

[BOODI]

its under 15 year rule ..... yea i think i should give it another check around the car .... bloody vics but i was just wondering if anyone could gimmie simple steps to getting this compliance plate as fast as possible... im missing out on hill runs lol

post this in the "importing" section, i guarantee youll get a quick and accurate response from someone like Jspec or Iron Chef.

my car came from vic (came from J land under RAWS, not SEVS), and it does not have a compliance plate that i have seen..... went thru regency just fine for rego. u may have just hit a guy in regency that does not know their shiz.....

or more likely i dont know where my compliance plate is

RAWS & SEVS are 2 complementing things, not different methods for import.

But yes, cars are out there with no plates - my DR30 was one of them. It was imported under the 15-year rule back in 2001, and about 18 months ago I received an SA Compliance Plate (sticker) that had to be affixed to the drivers door jamb, or rear firewall.

(SA legislation required a 'domestic' plate on all vehicles, so they had to retro-fit non RAWS imports)

The OP's car may be in the same boat, but import approval paperwork will certainly ease the red-tape pain...
