I wasn't able to attend the meeting(not that I can ever make a meeting due to work),  But was there any interesting info to come out of the discussion??

Will this affect bringing in an aftermarket chassis???

Hi Greg,

Mick just explained the rules that they are now enforcing re importing pre 89 vehicles, the rule has always been there ie if you import a pre 89 vehicle it must not be modified, if it is you must supply details of the mods so they can make a decison on whether it is approved. If the mods were carried out post 89 you will not be allowed to import as it will then be classed as a newer vehicle. Our understanding is that if your vehicle is fitted with mags you still have to note this down when submitting an application. We have a meeting with the Administrator of Dotars the end of next week and will be able to answer everyones questions re the mods acceptable.
Bringing in a chasis - will check on that? We know if its already assembled with the car, no you cannot as the car is modified unless you have proof the work was carried out prior to 89.

Cheers Yvette

OK, so are 17 x 8" mag wheels and a 750 Holley on an Air gap manifold with extractors out or in?

Update....I just got this from an ASRF member who is representing a broad section of us.  They had a meeting today with the Department of Infrastructure...it's a short update with more to follow



Al and I went along to a meeting at Infrastructure this morning.

VERY informative and we have a handle on what is driving them, and a path forward.

No guarantee we are going to get a complete fix, but I am pretty confident we can get some movement on the cars already purchased.

Can all people who have a car caught up please make sure they get me ALL their paperwork, as I have agreement from the head honcho for us to meet and discuss individual cases.

Long term future is not so rosie...... purchasing a modified car wihout proof it was completed before 1/1/89 is NOT a good idea at the moment

Dear Hemifish, its a shame you had to go to the extent of removing your motor to comply with a jumped up policemans opinion, I have no idea how Gary Myers gets away with having his mustang and the tower of a motor he has! .. on another note, having read this thread, I was looking at a '60 impala to import and one that i come across has 14" wires on it, same size as factory, it makes me nervous to consider bringing it in due to the fact that it might get disapproved on the basis that the wheels are not stock, and don't have an ADR approval..it also has compressed springs. probably doesn't help the case out at all, but in theory, i don't see why this matters, as the car will have to go through the necessary steps to be registered, and that would probably involve new springs, so regardless of the condition of wheels and such, it shouldn't matter, as long as its all complied by at the time of registration. Thats my whinge for the day -Benji
