Compliance Plate Replacement

Go see Greg.

Take a cordless drill.

Or just ask Horse.

 

Is it Aussie delivered? If so, they are usually fixed in this spot

That wasn't very helpful. Weird that it doesn't show if it's an aussie car or not.

 

Of course, it’s mine

 

One job

 

Call or email Porsche Australia with the VIN number, they will tell you where the car was delivered

The vin number you posted is a 1981 model. The pic in the other thread shows an S4 front end which didn’t come out till 1986, so something isn’t right

 

VIN number, you say?

 

Yes yes

 

I'm not aware of any vehicle manufacturer that will (re) issue a compliance plate for a car. Compliance plates are either fitted to the car at manufacture or when the car is complied to meet Australian ADR's by a RAW https://raws.infrastructure.gov.au/ . Compliance plates have been fitted to vehicles in Australia since the late 1960.....
Standardised 17 digit VIN's came in to use from around 1981 and became widespread by the mid 1980's.
A personal import car probably won't have a compliance plate if it was imported prior to August 1989.

Your VIN should be stamped here

What does your engine bay look like?

 

Uh oh... Could be a Horse job. It's a wonder Wes didn't buy it.

 

Due diligence.............

There'll be a reason why it was on Grey's.

 

Yep 100%....

 

Try Porsche club SA you never know someone might help.

 

A person I know had a car in a major accident. Not a ferrari or classic, recent model ford. As part of the repair work, the area of the car with the compliance plate was actually replaced. When he picked the car up he noticed there was no compliance plate. Long discussions ensued with the insurance company, repairer, RMS etc (NSW). He was told it is not possible to replace a compliance plate, but he was given a certificate of compliance, which is required to be carried in the vehicle. He was very unhappy with the solution.

 

That's disgraceful

 

Can it be complianced by a workshop as if it is a first- time import? As in, my 308 has an original compliance plate BUT before it could be first registered in Qld it had to have a Qld compliance plate where various stuff were checked / changed to comply. The bits I recall off hand were seatbelts and side intrusion bars in the doors.

 

I have been issued a Compliance Certificate for my car but need to be issued by A RMS Engineer which it must remain in the car always and is noted on your rego papers

 

Huh?

 

You mean the green plate or blue plate?

 

blue plate; the RAW system Mike mentioned; don’t know if it would be an alternative or not since the porker is over 25 years old?
