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.

    • Hmm. I should have thought of the clutch bleeding issue. It should be #1 thought for "can't select gears". As to "sounds like the top".....have you actually gone out with the stethoscope and tried to pin it down any more than that? And, buy or borrow a timing light, and set the timing properly.
    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
