Complyance

[sam.murray]

Hi guys,

I have been offered to buy a package of goods to get my car up and on the road but not sure weather its quite the bargin its cut out to be.

It includes 1 headlight, 2 park lights, and a rear window.

How much would this stuff be worth?

Stuff i need to source still.

Center vent.

and steering wheel.

maybe a stock air box.

Also i have been told a few things about getting my car registered. Its not complyed yet.

I have import papers that bring it in under the 15 year rule.

This means it just has to pass a road worthy. Am I correct in saying that. I did do research before i bought it but a few people have now told me differentally.

you also need to make it meet the ADR's which involves:

side intrusion bars

child restraints

fuel filler restrictor

high mount stop light

tyre placard

Depending on how much they want for the parts Sam is what makes that a good or bad decision.

Yes you will need those parts for the compliance and sometimes its better to just get them than wait around for them to turn up cheaper.

There are a few little things you have to do, so the car meets complaince for TAS rego under the old 15 year rule.

you DONT need side intrusion bars (so dont listen to anyone that say's you do)

and the high mount stop light does not matter here either (if you got it in the wing then it does have to be operational though)

COMPLAINCE NEEDS:

seat belts and child restraints changed (although you can get the original's certified, but its not really worthe it)

drivers side mirror has to be changed

VIN number has to be stamped under the bonnet (and obviously the import papers have to match as well)

Unleaded fuel only sticker on the inside of the petrol flap and depending on where you go you may need the fuel filler restrictor???? (i didn't though)

all lights have to be operational (stop/brake, indicators and headlights)

all windows (electric or mechanical) have to be operational

no part of the exhaust can be going to atmosphere

aftermarket air intake is ok (but again depends on where you go)

number plate lights need to operational

tyres need to meet approval (ok tread left, no cracks/splits in side walls)

battery fasterner

and thats about it really.

if you need a hand with anything then give me a yell.

also i know a few people that can help out with getting the car road legal with your inspection if you like

Cheers B

you dont need side intrusion bars but some peeps in the complaince game will tell you that so they can make a little more money out of you

I believe Sam needs the lights as his car at the moment only has one head light?

What??? so where does the gasses escape?

[dr_hoon45]

I dont know about TAS, but in SA you have to get intrusion bars fitted, as well as a engineers report so they can verify the work.

yeah its not really needed here in Tassie, although the rules are about to change again.

The beauty of it is, its getting easier and easier to register an import these days and its not costing as much either

Try going to Vic or QLD as there some of the hardest places to get imports complainced <_<
