Engine Firewall Blue Plate

[funkymonkey]

i wonder how the car was de-regged in japan without proper ID?

[ylwgtr2]

the car does not need to be sighted to be deregistered.....geeze munkey....where do you get all this info from???I hope its not from the internet

[funkymonkey]

I assumed the authorities would wanna have a look at a car before they drego'd it... its the logical thing to do innit?

[CR34TION]

am i being too anal about this whole situation, i mean the car can be registered here in oz as it is complianced?

[funkymonkey]

as long as its got compliance you should be fine. the blue plate is jap related. think aus goes by chassis number and compliance plate.

Check with Vicroads - they are actually pretty cool about this kinda stuff. When I got my car it was first registered in QLD in 2000 but the compliance plate was dated 2002. So something dodgy went on somewhere. Somehow the car was originally registered under the japanese compliance number. It had never been registered before me with the correct compliance. But Vicroads did all the chasing up through QLD Transport and found the compliancer and everything was sweet. They were really helpfull.

Would you be anal if it was your car that was stolen and shipped overseas and was left paying it off?

I take it this is the car that beefy has advertised on these forums and is discussed in the other thread "where to get a vehicle inspection". I had the same experience with hypertech rubbishing all cars other than their customers ones for sale and would prefer Ben's opinion anyday. How long has it been complied and were the mods done here or in Japan? I think this car may have had a hit in the front from what I have heard. If its already complied then the tag isn't a huge issue is it?

I'd be careful.. its just not worth the risk! What happens if you want to sell it later on? I'm sure others will be cautious enough not to buy without it.

I'm not sure whether the numbers are significant at all, but cars can be stolen and sent out of japan quite easily for those with dodgy connections.. then complied and registered over here also with questionable connections.

Plus, until about 12-18 months ago when they tightened up the rules in VIC it was very easy to simply swap the compliance plate of a smashed GTR with a non-complianced GTR.. AND Vicroads has a reputation for being one of the dodgiest government departments in Australia.

Could have even been a statutary write off, just somehow, somebody managed to get it fixed up and re-registered. The blue plate cannot have simply just gone "missing" for any logical reason other than something dodgy. Clearly??

[CR34TION]

Cars can be stolen and sent out of japan regardless of whether they have the blue id tag or not as i believe.... as i mentioned b4, the i heard that this car is a 1998 model complied as a 1997 hence that might have to do with the missing plate.

However, mid to high 30's for a good condition 1998 GTR with over $5k worth of mods... it really is a bargain.

[ylwgtr2]

wat i am saying is some poor japanese guy has probably lost his car.....

[CR34TION]

Is it generally grounds to get my deposit back based on the missing id plates?

[ylwgtr2]

i would be getting japanese reg check done and taking it from there.....

[predator]

Its not white is it? AVC-R, slotted rotors? quite clean? me and a friend looked at once a couple of months back when I was in Melb.. similar story.

[CR34TION]

it doesn't have AVC-R... it's actually the one in the for sale section, white with white Enkei's

[ylwgtr2]
