The 33 I liked is in fact a 1996 (Compliance plate said '98, green plate pre-SEVS btw), should I steer away from it or not even though it isn't under finance or stolen or write-off register?

imo, if you like the car just get it every car will have small problems from the 90s mine needed new suspension and tyres as well as needing to repair the front lip but still loved the car when i saw it so i got it! :thumbsup:

tl;dr Shit can be fixed :D

Nah, that isn't what I meant, I were saying the car was complied as '98 model when the actual chassis is in fact a '96 model, not sure if I can live with it.

buy mine man.... 30k

Since you don't have the Professors on, no thanks.

Haven't had the chance to look at grey 33 in woop woop, may do that this weekend.

harden the fuck up princess. Was probably a typo in the CPA registry that sent out plates.

If the car has been registered, and has a history in one of the national registration systems, no one gives a shit about the plates. The only thing that's used for is the initial rego.

Grant come to shep on Saturday and tell the guy to meet you at DECA rolleyes.gif

Shep is closer for him.

Just got a message from the seller, he doesn't seem that keen but told him I'll be there...

Shan, is it pretty common with pre-SEVS cars?

Just want to be sure before I go stupid and buy it.

It's not common, but it's not surprising. a car I bought didn't even have a plate. which was fun, ran around for a month trying to get it from canberra and it turned out I didn't even need it to reg the car.

just make sure the VIN on the plate of the car matches the VIN on the manufacturer plate, and then run that VIN through FAST to make sure the specs of the car match up.

eg: 6U9000ECR33123456 = ECR33-123456 = RB25 R33 GTS25t

Thanks for that but, is error on import approval or mistake by Canberra put it on wrong year pretty common during pre-SEVS days?

The VIN on said 33 isn't 6U900xxxx it's 6T91 thingy hence my curiousity, what sparked it when I ran it thru Vicroads check and FAST (VR listed it as '98 whereas on FAST, it's 96).

6U900xxxx is new SEVS system, under CPA it was some weird shit.

Errors happen, check that the VIN numbers match up properly. No one gives a fuck about the year.

    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
    • I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.
    • Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
