Compliance Plates?

[ODYSSEYGTR]

alright, recently bought a previously imported r32 gtr, i have the engineers certificate and import approval but nothing on compliance?

i may be a bit thick with this haha but there isnt a compliance plate in the engine bay so there it isnt complied?

oh and its a 1989 R32 GTR imported back in 2005 under the 15 year rule

does it need to be complied? starting a new rego page on rta website only suggests i need a weighbridge ticket on top of what i have.

cheers

If it has come in under the 15 year rule, it won't have a compliance plate. If you've bought it from interstate, it will need to be signed off by an engineer before it can be registered, if it was already registered in NSW before you bought it, you should be able to transfer it the same way you do with any other vehicle.

[ODYSSEYGTR]

Hasn't been registered but has an engineers certificate from 2005 when it was imported. Is that adequate? Cheers for your reply

is the engineers cert from NSW too? if so then yeah probably will be fine. go to the RTA with the paperwork you have and see what happens.

[ODYSSEYGTR]

Yeah it is. Hopefully be alright! Any suggestions on where to get a weighbridge ticket? This is good news. Was worried it'd have to be conplied and all

[Beer Baron]

there are heaps of commercial weighbridges around. just look up yellow pages/google etc to find one near you. cost is about $20.

[ODYSSEYGTR]

Thanks baron! You're a champion

[Beer Baron]

no worries. I have no idea where you are hence I didn't suggest any in particular but I used to often use one on parramatta rd. near strathfield/lidcombe way.

Hornsby area. Just north. Would be a trailer trip unless very local

ok, don't know of any personally up your way. but if all else fails the one on p'matta road is there but I'm sure you'll find one closer. you can drive the car if you like. you are allowed to legally drive your car for the purposes of obtaining registration. you must drive directly to and from the weighbridge via the most direct route. no need to spend money on a tow unless the car is un-roadworthy in some way.

to cover yourself ring the RTA first and directly ask them "is it legal to drive......." and make a note of when you called and who you spoke to. and then type up a letter of intent stating "i will be driving my vehicle for the purposes of obtaining registration on XXX date leaving my house at XXX time travelling to XXXX weighbridge and back" date and sign it and if you get pulled over present it.

thankyou! not mch more fixed up then ill be doing this, think they have one at hornsby rta anyway, atleast a big one for trucks, should be good enough.

but thanks again especially for the note on driving to and from for rego purposes. no doubt will be handy in later life.
