Finally finished fixing up my supra, Engine work done, body panels replaced/fixed, re-spray finished now all i have to do is take it over the pits and register it. What a bad day i had.
The Inspector guy found a few problems which was suspected.
Oil leak, busted exuast mounts, worn gearbox mount, worn center carrier bearing on the driveshaft which i accidently pointed out to him. There really was no oil leak tho, i fixed that ages ago with the cam cover seals, i just didn't clean all the grease that has spread all over the engine. (Can anyone help me out with a center carrier bearing and a rear engine mount/gearbox mount?)
But here is where things get bad, I come back from a smoke and ask the inspector guy if everything is in order with the engine, as he was looking everywhere under the bonnet and he replyed "You don't have a compliance plate, you can't get this car registered."
Wha...Bullshit! I explained that the previous owner in VIC had the car legally registered, and that the dam VIC reg stickers are still on the windscreen! But that wasn't good enough, This inspector guy thought he was pretty good, espcially as i had no official papers to prove anything about the car, just a reciept the previous owner typed up on his laptop saying when i buaght the car and how much i payed. So anyway car fails the pits and i can't get it registered.
I don't know the details of how my car came to Aus, but the importing paperwork stuff was supposed to be done and i had nothing to worry about according to the guy i buaght the car off.
I also mentioned to the inspector guy that there was a thing called "the 15 year rule" cars that were imported that are older then 15 years of age don't need a compliance plate, when i said that he looked stumped/shocked and said he would have to check it up in his book. Nothing in that book about the "15year rule", only that any import must have a compliance plate otherwise it's probably illegaly imported or some bullshit. So he Checked everywhere including the boot, no compliance plate to be found. I'm thinking Shit! this was not good.
So he went and rang some other mob who also didn't know about this "15 year rule". So in there view I'm a lying bullshit artist trying to get an illegaly imported vehicle registered.
What the fuck can i do? I have no official papers, no compliance plate, just a hunch that my car was imported under the "15 year rule" of which no one in Tas seems to know about.
I'm at the end of my tether, i really hope i don't have to end up scrapping my beautifal car for parts to make some money back!
