R33 Skyline rego information incorrect

[revsau]

shopping around for an r33 gtst, came across a few on facebook, when looking up the car history, the manufacture year is off, like 2007 for example, 2009 on another, one even said sedan while it was a coupe. asked owners for the vin information and it checks out on gtr registry

 

whats going on ?

Those dates are probably compliance dates. The shop who did my RWC put the compliance date instead of manufacture date, had to go back to get it sorted since I was going club permit and it had to be >25 years.

same with the body style, that depends what whoever filled in the first blue slip form ticked....they didn't always care enough to get it right. You can get the same issue with any rego details, our March is registered as a "NISSAN 00CAR"

there was a period when the compliance date was treated as the manufacturing date on rego papers as the complier took responsibility for "remanufacturing" the car to meet australian rules. lots of older imports will have that issue

All skylines are sedans in the eyes of the rms (rta back in the day) to be considered a coupe it had to be in the style of the the LH/LX torana hatches or a 180sx and etc

It's most likely the data entry person was being a lazy mofo.

My GTS-t is registered as a GT-R V-Spec, and the VIN clearly says ECR33 lol.
