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 coils, 5 spots of rust (bout 0.5cm in size) and no compliance plate.

it has the vin on it but thats it.

the previous owner has owned it for the last 7 years and bought it from a car yard.

how can i get my blue slip and compliance letter?

it has no exhaust, rb20, nothing.

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

im regretting the buy right now.

any help would be highly appreciated.

pls pm me if that's easier.

Hey Nat, welcome to SAU

So you have a bog stock R32 GTST?

Nothing wrong, nothing removed, nothing modified?

I can't understand how it wouldn't have a compliance plate...

Check your door frames.

You're looking for a green plate, or a pink sticker.

Have a read through here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/155844-no-compliance-plate-on-car/

I'm pretty sure that car would have had to be complied to be registered in VIC. Have you taken it to your mechanic for an inspection? If not, go down and have a chat to them as well.

hey. =]

yup stock as rock with coilovers, some small rust and i cant find the compliance plate anywhere. searched the car inside out. firewall, doors, boot, engine bay, everywhere.

ive called up vicroads and they cant seem to help me as nsw is stricter than there.

i have no import papers as i didnt import it and all i have is the dealership papers the prev owner got it from.

theres no stickers or plates, just a blu eplate stating the chassis no from japan nissan co.

the car isnt stolen as i checked it before i bought it.

its still got rego from it in vic and has had continuous rego. i dont understand..

im about to call transport aus and c if they got the compliance papers or import papers as they should have them on record but this is such a bad experience.

ive taken it to about 14 mechanics already and they cant help me.

they say i need an engineering certificate (quotes 880-1100$) to get a compliance plate/paper and then blue slip then rego...

is it possible the car falls under the 15 year rule?

Is it still driveable with the vic plates on it?

The engineers cert sounds about right if there is no compliance plate on it. It sucks that it's not there.

Unfortunatly it's going to cost you a bit more to get it on the road.

Hang on, you don't need a compliance plate on the car, if it was brought in under the 15 year rule it was not complied and therefore does not need a compliance plate. It also would not have a compliance plate if it is a personal import

Have you talked to the RTA?

Also talk to DOTARS and get a copy of the import approval, that will help convince whoever has to rego it.

I would say though, it is very possible it will require a blueslip. It should not require an engineer's report.

Finally, have a talk to someone like Todd at Japlink and see what they suggest.

thanks duncan, risking and tbag.. hope u guys are right.

i have emailed dotars after speaking to them today and awaiting their reply.

hopefully they can send me a copy of the import papers.

yeah it was imported in feb 2005 and sold in august 2005. im pretty sure it falls under the 15 year rule.

engineer cert im getting off Richard Grdusiak in penrith this thursday for 770$. what do u guys think?

im such a noob at this. thanks so much for ur help guys!!

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
