hi guys! I'm new to the forum and I need some help desperately. I've basically bought a black skyline r32 1990 model gtst and it's got rego till oct 2011 from Victoria.

the car is stock as a rock with 2 mods - rear coils and an air pod. no exhaust, rb20, nothing.

I've driven to 8 diff mechanics and they give me a straight up no and saying it's an import and they cant do it. I'm getting desperate cos I got 14 days to rego the car and I bought it on Tuesday.

can anyone help me pls? I'm in parramatta but I'm willing to drive.

pls pm me if that's easier.

since you brought it from out of state you have 3 months, the 14 day thing is only if you buy it in NSW cause as far as th RTA are concerned it is a unregoed car hence the blueslip, you will need a air box, premier auto at sunblest st mount druitt did my R34 (brought it from the ACT ) and he made it very easy and knew excatly what needed to be done

Have you tried final stage at merrylands? Surely it can't be that hard to find a place... There are hundreds of skylines on the streets in sydney and many far from blue slip passable... Cover your pod filter that should help with that issue. Advan performance at auburn will do blue slips I think. Make sure all the safety standards/features are up to scratch as that is mostly what is checked. I wont believe that every modified skyline out here returns to stock to pass blue slip.

Hey mate,

If you get cought out I know someone on the Northern Beaches who would do it no problem.

As know it's quite a drive from where you are, but if you get stuck let me know.

i just found out the car has no compliance plates or stickers on it at all.

ive called up transport in canberra and they can provide me with some docs stating i can rego the car in nsw in my name.

will i need an engineering cert or?

vic roads states the car is fine and not stolen but to rego in nsw, its a lot harder cos nsw rta is such a bitch!

anyone gone through this road or know what to do? ive looked everywhere in the car for the compliance but nothing.

i only have the papers from when the prev owner bought it from a dealership and tried calling the dealership but number is disconnected. =[

Thats gonna be hard. Try TSI at blacktown, top secret imports. See if the guy there will compliance it for you, although generally they wouldn't compliance a car not imported by them.

How did you manage to buy a non aus complianced car? That is fairly dodgy of the seller. They import then sell off.

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
