Taking A Fresh Import Through Regency

[rz_pez]

Hello all,

I'm just about to buy an R33 GTS-T (SII) that has been imported and complied. It's a fresh import has not been registered in Aus yet, and because I am buying from interstate (live in SA) I apparently have to take it over the pits at regency. Has anyone gone through this process? My searches haven't been very successful.

It is completely stock right down to the airbox and exhaust, except for the wheels (18's) . It has all the compliance documents, plate, etc.

Do I have to put on stock wheels? The 18's have brand new rubber.. Also, does anyone know roughly what it'll cost? Does it take long to get in to regency?

Cheers

It's only an ID inspection, so no need to book in. BUT you MUST have the Consumer Information Notice paperwork to go with the compliance job, as well as a copy of the import approval, and your car MUST match the work done on the CIN. If it doesn't you'll be taking a trip over the pits and the compliance workshop will be in a whole lot of trouble.

You'll need to ditch the 18s and borrow a set of stockies with new tyres, then make sure the tyre brand and size matches what's on the CIN (if they have a specific brand listed - hint: it's easier to get the workshop to change the CIN to match the tyres rather than the other way around).
