2 door mk3 vr6..

[Mystic storm]

Just needing a few quick questions answered guys and girls...

Did the 3 door vr6 come out over here or would one I am interested in be converted?
If so has anyone brought one in form tassie to wa and could give me an idea on costs?

Would it be a night mare trying to get it road registered or fairly straight forward?

I would use it for work (going to and from) etc

The car in question is the blue 3 door mk3 vr6

I have emailed the seller just thought I would get a bigger audience views and opinions


chers in advance for any help/input Gerry.

The VR6's never came out in Aus as a 3 door so it wouldve been converted from a CL to the VR with all running gear, bumpers etc. But this just makes the car rarer and even more awesome

[Mystic storm]

So would it have to be engineneered to be registered in wa?

And the engine be complianced etc?

I am thinking it will hey....

Hopefully it is, that way it's just a case of shipping and getting it checked...

There are a couple of factory 3dr VR's that i have seen floating around but were brought into aus as personal imports,

As far as having to be engineered in W.A i cant say because i only know about NSW....

What i do know in NSW there is no engineering certificate required when a 3dr conversion is done as the 2.8l 12v was offered in the mk3 so its just a matter of going to the RTA and getting the new engine numbers updated on the system .

Yeah that kind of makes sense hey..

I need to get proper clarification though really..

Has anyone any ideas on what it would cost to ship from tassie to wa?

[Jarred]

mk 3's came with Vr's as standard (as in the chassis code will already corrospond to the chassis)

[Mystic storm]

Yeah I know, but will that effect the registration in anyway due to it being converted???

[Blitzen]

Yeah I know, but will that effect the registration in anyway due to it being converted???

Why not just ring up the transport authority in your state and find out??

[ffoff]

I doubt doors will have any effect on anything. There's a few conversions running around so I think it should be fine.

[Cookie28]

Yeah I don't know too much about it, only that you don't need engineering done (win!!)

[Mystic storm]

I will ring up monday, but as its friday night and only this evening I decided I would like a 3 door vr6, I kind of havent had chance!!

Not needing the engineering is excellent and thinking about it why would it if it came with the engine in other models anyway...!!

Hopefully I will get a good price on shipping and the seller does me a good deal...

Well I could be the owner of a met blue 3 door vr6....WATCH THIS SPACE....!!

Pretty easy to find the info mate...

Interstate or overseas vehicle

and this bit for the mod's if they deem the engine conversion a mod !!

Modify a vehicle

Good luck !!

Yeah the keyword there is gas it been in your name for 12months..
It hasnt so will need inspection...

But yeah I suppose it is all there if I look...

When and if you look into getting prices for transport, i can recommend CEVA - i had a car sent from Adelaide to Brisbane, it cost me $330 cos they run monthly special deals from depot to depot.

[Mystic storm]

Cheers for that I will look into them I ahev heard god things before also...

Now just waiting for the seller to get in touch...
