    how bout leave it on sa plates for long as possible and get the guy you bought it off to put more rego on it?maybe to late,ya should have got him to put more rego before sale.

    so its un complied?

    for compliance you will need intrusion bars (or adm doors) and BRAND NEW front and rear seat belts. + a tire placard, and thats about it.

    its not actually hard or expensive. you do need the import appoval papers though.

    i was considering to do so, but then i wont have money to rego the car after spending on hiring a Tow car + trailer for 2 days + petrol + skid wheels and tires for 2 days + entry fee of Matsuri + general service of the car after drifting

    i didn't think that far so bad luck to me

    Has everything already besides BRAND NEW seat belts..dont think i'll find brand new anywhere or coupe rear seat belts
    Looks like engineer Cert is more likely the go with this, waiting on JnJperformance to be qualified to do engineer cert which should not be much longer,

    When they get their license, shit will get going on this car

    2 seater
    rollcage to suit
    done

    The car already has a 2 way LSD which is tight as a virgin and a healthy 16v.

    They wont be approved for a while.

    RTA was trying to change, its all gone to shit. The new scheme was meant to be in, but I wouldnt hold my breath with any of it going smoothly.

    Honestly id stay away from engineering my car for a good few months, theres lots of new engineers applying to be recognised and I wouldnt want to be paying someone whos not even going to get accepted.

    Find a supplier for Autoliv seatbelts. They make brand new belts for cars, you will need one with a tag saying it is ADR4/04 compliant. Even though im sure autoliv only put ADR4 on their tags, so maybe you can get away with older belts which have adr tages on them

    Get it engineered. Its so easy!! when you show up to the engineer he is gonna see that its an import he will just smile and write you a 400 dollar piece of paper.
