Is This My Compliance/vin Number?

[dantheman88]

Being my first import im not sure what im supposed to have, but i dont see any such compliance plate on my car. But i did a bit of reading and read that sometimes with 15+ year old cars they just stamped the numbers onto the strut tower.

I took a pic of the number on mine. i just want to make sure so i know i can rego it before i put money and time into it

Edit: just read that when the car comes to aus it has the '6U9000' put in front of the original vin. Does this mean it has been complied and I will be fine regoing it?

cheers

Could be why then. It's usually mounted up near the driver's side on the firewall, under the windscreen.

Depedingon the the circumstances, some cars were complied without receiving said plate though. Best bet might be to get a Vcheck to be 100% certain of it's history since being here.

Is it possible too do a vin check without the engine number? Cos i don't have the original engine number as it's half way through a conversion.

I know it has been registered before as it just ran out, and it still has the plates on it. Would this help me?

my compliance plate is on my drivers side door or passenger side door..... forgot what one. strange place to put one, but i have also seen them in the boot.

VIN = Vehicle Identification Number.. That's the chassis number for the car.. It can be done without the engine..

that indicates that somewhere on the car it have a purple plate. given that is has been registered before I would say its fine. check with your local roads people though.

I cant find any plate or sticker anywhere. But I called QLD transprort and they said its a bit of trouble without the compliance plate. but its actually registered until september, and seeings its been registered before it shouldnt be that much if a hassle you would think. I would have thought you could get a new one made, seeings they should have the compliance number on record from previous registration???

Anything goes in Queensland = dodgy , my R32 i bought from QLD had no modifications / ADRs done at all , no compliance plates or vin number not even seatbelts or side intrusion bars , and it was legally registered
