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.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
