Re-Registering My Gtr

I've had my R32 GTR off the road since 2010. I attempted to get it re-registered a few months ago, and was informed that there was no compliance plate on the car. There is a plate in the engine bay, but apparently it's not a certified compliance plate (it's supposed to be yellow or another colour? In case you're wondering, it's blue). So without this plate, apparently I need to get my car engineered, and to do this I've reinstall seat belts and a few other bits and pieces, and in the meantime I'm having the whole car resprayed as there were a few spots of rust the engineer wasn't happy with. I expect the car to come out of the panel beater in about two weeks, but I have heard there have been some changes to registration laws with regards to imports that have been unregistered for extended periods of time. Does anyone have any more information about this? Is there any other issues that may arise in trying to get my care registered? I really don't want to spend more money on tyres, eng certificate and other bits and pieces only to find out it's registerable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Some 32s came in via the old 15 year rule, so don't have compliance plates. As soon as you let registration lapse or try to register them interstate, expect to have your arse handed to you. We deal with it on a regular basis in SA, where they refuse to look at them until they've been engineered, THEN been for a full pit inspection.

Anyone know if this is the case in NSW? I had planned on having the car engineered and then obviously a blue slip, I don't believe we have 'pits' in NSW.

Would the RTA be any help in this case?

Quick update, just spoke to the RTA, apparently it needs an engineering cert and a blue slip and I'm good to go as I have already had the car registered in NSW.

I'll update this thread once it's got rego. Thanks guys

How did you go with this Jimmy?

I've been searching for info on re-registering my GTS-t which has been off the road for many many years, came across your thread.

I'm still not 100% on going through with it if the whole process is going to be drawn out and expensive. Especially since I have to get the motor going again first before I can approach anything.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
