Did a quick search on the forums but didnt find an answer. I know that if you import a car and you wish to drive it on the road it must be complied and registered etc

What if you import a car purely for track or parts and you do not wish to drive it on the road, does it need to be complied? Specifically in Perth (if that makes a different)

Thanks Guys

Mine isn't complied , as far as I am aware that is the whole point of importing race/rally use only vehicles . Being alot cheaper to buy for the Motorsport guys and saving the compliance head f**k for the importer .

Care to elaborate on that answer?

I think others have already done a good enough job of it. Track cars are imported for track use only. They only need to be complied if they're being registered for street use.

This thread got me off onto a tangent whereby this fellow in Wisconsin wasn't allowed to keep his '95 & '96 GT-Rs - even for use on a track.

So it ends up that Justin Beno of Wisconsin had to forfeit his restored GT-Rs only for the gov't too crush them and sell the scrap.

What a waste.

"After offering to pay the fines and help the authorities find buyers for both machines overseas, the prosecutor declined. Instead, both cars will be crushed and sold for scrap" thats ridiculous. I hate how some people have to go to the extreme and end up achieving no result whatsoever. Theres no reason why the cars MUST be crushed. Poor bloke, I'd be howling

Oh no one of them is the skyline from the fast and furious movie :(

You would have required the talent from "Argo Fark Yourself" to get that car out of Wisconsin > Jay Leno's garage

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.

      Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
