Registering A Car In Nsw

[kawasakirider]

Hey everyone, I know this topic has been done to death, but I'm hoping someone could shed some light for me....

I recently sold my R32 GTR to a member on this forum. I live in QLD, he's from Sydney. Now, the car was imported and complied (I don't have the original documents of import) and there was a mod plate put in the engine bay to signify that it was complied.

This car has been registered in the hands of a few owners in QLD over the past few years, there is no doubt that the car has passed compliance.

The bloke that bought it off me has taken it down to Sydney and the RTA are making him jump through all sorts of hoops. They've stipulated that they need the original import paperwork (no idea why when the car is already complied), which is understandably MIA since the car has been in the country for a number of years; and to top it all off, they're now requesting that he gets the car engineered so it can be registered in NSW.

It has no visible modifications that would require an engineers certificate; this is purely being asked of him just so his car can be registered as the import papers aren't with the car (despite the car being complied....).

Can anyone shed some light on this issue? SURELY he doesn't have to get the car engineered just to register it.

Sorry if this is vaguely written, I am only passing on third hand information that I've been given.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Trent

I was asked to do the same thing when I went to re-register my R32 GTR that I had owned for 10 yars (at the time) and had been previously registered in NSW (and complied under the 15 year rule).

I simply went to another blue slip place and he passed it without a problem. Went to the RTA and re-registered it.

Guess it is just you and your luck.
