when my chevelle was shipped over from USA in august 2010. It had to have an L02 compliance check for NSW rego. This required lap sash retractable seat belts in the front and lap sash retractable belts in the outer rear positions. the centre rear belt remained a lap only belt. It had to have child restraint anchor points in both rear outer positions on the parcel shelf. The headlights had to be changed so that they dipped down & left from high to low beam. You will also need a weigh bridge ticket. My car is a 68 model so it did not need to comply for emmisions. They did say however that after 1975 was different. Make sure when you go to the RTA that you have originals, not copies of your import approval etc. I had to go back with originals. http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/getnewrego/importedvehicles.htmlsee ya.

I do not understand where you guys got this engineering idea.There is nowhere in the rules book states that you need engineers report.As bonnevista said there are blue slip guys out there simply too damn lazy to look up the rules and make up their own and take all your money for something not required.The only time you will need engineers report when you have to modify your vehicle to have seatbelts fitted. If your imported vehicle has the original seatbelts in it you just have to replace them with australian ones. As long as you do not alter locations you are right.This is a warning to all Mustang owners with earlier models not fitted with seatbelts from factory. Once you fit your own you are up for an engineers report.I hope we are finally clear on this one.Cheers, Chris.
I just called the rta import department. Basically headlights, taillights, seatbelts and child restraints need to be changed on post 1972 vehicles. He said weigh bridge ticket then engineers report then blue slip is needed. Said if a cop pulls you over you will need to present a copy to him. I think rta employees when we register the vehicles don't look into it.
