Hi guys i have to get my gtst 89 on the road here in vic. I need some contact details of a good engineer to comply the car to the 15 year old import rules and a contact to weld/tack intrusion bars in doors thanks louis

15yo import rules dont exist anymore, you have to go through full compliance and you need a workshop who has a sevs licesne to do it, contact vic roads they will give you a list.

Howdy baron i imported it 7 years ago as a 15 year car

its a standard approval

thanks

louis

In that case you can comply it under the 15 year rule. There is a list of engineers for Vic around somewhere, perhaps the VicRoads website.

hi Louis, when you say 'standard approval' there isn't really such a thing. if it was 7 years ago it may well have been imported under the old LVIS (Low Volume Import Scheme). In that case you may be out of luck. if you imported it 7 years ago that was 2002. in 2002 we could only import cars built up to 1987 under the 15yo rule so in that case your car was definitely not a 15yo car. it may be too late to have it complied under it's current import approval. if you still have it can you post a scan of it up? feel free to black out your name, the chassis number, approval number etc but it will at least mean we can give you some advice.

edit: just read your post properly, you say it was a 15yo import approval but if it was 7 years ago I don't see how you could get an 89 GTST? Anyway assuming you do have it imported under the 15yo rule you should be able to just go through the basic requirements for it to be able to be registered in your chosen state. They might ask some questions as to why you didn't get it done in the last 5 years or so.....

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
