Extras I needed for Aussie Rego

[02PRUV]

Thought I would post up the extras I needed for rego for future reference:

- High level brake light (Get one from the Australian company LED. They comply)
- Rear reflectors (the ones in the supplied lights don't meet our Australian Design Rules)
- Immobiliser (most local car audio shops with have ADR approved ones in stock)
- Steering lock (this you will have to do yourself with your engineer. Mine isn't the best but it will get past)
- Seatbelt warning light (This one is ADR compliant http://www.snakebite.com.au/seatbeltwarninglightti... and get the seatbelt light for it out of these http://www.snakebite.com.au/logodashboardwarningli...
- Charcoal canister (get a nissan silva/180sx/skyline one they are nice and small)
- Handbrake warning light ( Just wire this up to the low level brake fluid switch and it will light up the low brake fluid light)
- Sunvisors (tint on the top of the windscreen complies)

Tank fumes

Part of the fun of these cars is the smell of super unleaded.

Cheers for the advice. Any more details of how you solved each issue? (eg, steering lock)

My kit arrives in ~2 months. It's shipping next week, so I want to start to prepare each solution to be ready to go right away.

Oh also, I am a bit concerned how every car sold after July in Australia requires ESP and ABS. Hope this won't apply to ICV's.

I guess I started (deposit) on my car before any law changes anyway, so old laws will apply to me.

Thanks for the Info, Much appreciated.

Does this mean that its on the Road now?

Did they check side intrusion bars in the door, that was 1 thing that was worrying me.

They don't care when you started your car. What they use to do is if the engineer had started paperwork for the just they went by the rules when that paperwork was started. Then people started going to engineers, getting paperwork started and leaving the project for years knowing they had the protection so they have also stopped that. Now it's when it gets regoed is the rules you have to comply with.

As far as I know as long as your not in NSW you should be right. The new rules they have are making it really hard to do these cars.

As far as ESP and ABS go you will probably find ICV's are exempt from those ADR's just like ICV's are exempt from impact testing.

Not with numberplates yet. Booked in to go over rego next week. This is everything the engineer picked up.

Your side impact protection is below the doors in the side pod. The actual door is at your chest/head level.

Do you have to run a plate on the front or is a sticker ok?

Good Luck with the rego, It's easier to build an aircraft than a car in Australia!
I would love to build a GTR so I am interested to know how you get on.

It's done and past with ease.

looks like ill have to check the PF thread

Well done on the rego. The states in Australia are coming into alignment so it should make it a little more logical to register you Ultima. I don't own an Ultima, but I have registered my E-Vade under the current rules.

Giday Dave, from Ryan in Melbourne (OZ clubbies) - i didnt know you had got the plates on that, last i read was you had got passed the IM240 with the Nissan VG30TT.

[dieseldave73]

Hi Ryan! Small world.
Yep all regoed now. I kept it quiet until I had the personalised plates I was after. I didn't want so tosser beating me to them (as they were avalaible).
EVADE1
I have been enjoying the driving of late and have been off line. As I am clearly on line now. I'll go up date the Ozclubbies.
It is great to see more and more people finally getting rego though, it looked pretty bad for a while there.

[AlexCim]

ezakimak - what thread on PF? link please?

To anyone else, I am based on Melbourne too, my Ultima arrives around Christmas/NYE. Welcome for anyone to come down and have a look at it all (I will be building the car at my factory in Bayswater)

Hi Alex,

I will be staying in Melbourne for 17wks, starting 20th Jan 2012 it would be great to meet up if possible. I've had my GTR on the road since 2004 so it is always nice to see a new one.

Cheers
Phil.

[ezakimak]

yep, in Melbourne, Chadston/Oakleigh area.
Hopefully one day soon, given the way the last 6 months have gone buy it cant be that much further away from being able to place an order.

[AlexCim]

Yeah mate, sounds good! Send me a PM when you're in town, and we'll hook something up.
