From that link...

2) EMISSIONS, PERFORMANCE and SAFETY -- 15 years and older vehicles are not required to meet current emissions and safety requirements. Whether valid or not, DOTARS are arguing that allowing the continued import of older vehicles under current arrangements will be detrimental to the average age as well as emissions and safety standards of the Australian vehicle fleet.

Thats complete bullshit.

Cars brought in under the 15 year rule must comply with emissions and safety standards to be eligible for road registration.

Really?? I thought that cars over 15yo could be bought in regardless of emission standards. I have brought in over 20 cars in the last two years and nothing has come up about that.

Yes, the cars have to be engineered, which means they must meet basic safety standards and emissions/noise requirements.

So your 18 years old and you have imported 20 cars? Id love to know how you get them road registered

If you imported 20 cars in 2 years I dont know why this took so long and it will honestly do no good as everybody in the industry know it is decided,

And even Tamworth need the cars engineered, if they dont have a cat and are blowing smoke they will be knocked back, they will ask you to do a IM240 Test.

CSV imports, maybe you should take this thread to general automotive discussion, as well as every other jap car and import forum that you can think of so that everybody knows about it (if you haven't already done so already), also when does the petition get submitted?

As far as I can tell your petition is almost a word-for-word copy of info that was published on the Prestige Motorsport web site in January this year. The regulation impact statement mentioned has been considered and more recent info indicates that a decision has already been made by DOTARS...it's just a question of an announcement being made.

I commend your effort, but I strongly suspect the 15yo rule as we know it has left the building (or will have as of 1/1/2005).

Jan 1st would make sense for an announcement.. Its been talked about for nearly 6 months that it would be nothing allowed after 1/1/05.. but nothing firm has been announced.

I think its a little late with all this petition business (it was all done 6 months ago), and with a parliamentary majority there isn't much chance. Government can do what they like.

In regards to my importing 20 cars, I have clients which imports through me and they are the ones who register it not me... as to when the petition gets submitted? whenever we get enough signatures. Also, if you guys could post the link up in the forums around the place that would be much apreciated.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay

      An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).

      Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks

      have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
