I'm looking at buying an ECR33 GTS-t (not via import) but the car did not pass a compliance inspection due to it not having seat belt mounting points.

The owner tells me that there is no way to have a second compliance inspection is his state (or, he believes, any other state) but as I'm in the NT it may be different.

So what I want to know is: Is it possible to fix the issue of the mounting points and get the car complianced once that is done?

Common sense tells me it shouldn't be an issue but some laws seem to disregard it....

Thanks in advance,

Seqo.

I think using the term "common sense" in a sentance refering to import compliance is an oxymoron.

I have heard that there is only "one bite at the cherry".

Bl00dy import nazies.

compliance is not a state thing...australian compliance means just that

if this is that white crashed damaged gts-t in brisbane...i think the mods should get rid of this add ...some one is going to get burnt here :flamed:

this car should be destroyed...its a DOG

Hi Seqo, I strongly suggest you got to the DOTARS sight and look up the RAWS, that will tell you what questions to ask, yourself and the seller.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
