Getting A Gtr V-spec Onto Qld Roads

[tim_ribs_1]

Hi all,

I've just bought an R32 GTR V-Spec and need to get a safety certificate to get the registration in my name. I took it down to my nearest shop and they've told me they can't give a roadworth for the following issues:

1. Rear subframe mounts, they say these are leaking oil, but I think they mean silicone? - I did have an inspection before buying the car and these were noted as deteriorate in line with age, but not unserviceable.

2. Front steering rack end internal bushes worn. - Again, my pre-purchase inspection mentioned them as still being in serviceable condition

3. Rear steering rack outer bushes - Again, I was told these were still serviceable and just deteriorated in line with age.

4. Rear shock top support mount - when questioned, he said he wasn't actually sure if it was the mount, or if it was maybe just loose

5. Wiper rubbers - I disagree, the wiper rubbers are fine, I assume this is the usual upselling...

6. Engine clean - I think the engine is clean enough for my liking, does it really need to be shiny to get a safety certificate?

So, I'm at the point where I need the safety certificate quickly to get the registration into my name and switch from my cover note to insurance with my preferred insurer. It seems these guys are taking issue with things that my pre-purchase inspector thought weren't an issue. I was aware that none of the bushes were in as-new condition and I will replace them at some point in the next few years as and when they become unserviceable, but right now, I don't have the time or inclination and am hesitant to take this guy's opinion over the guy who did the pre-inspection.

The question therefore is, what's the best way to get all this QLD paperwork done?
