New Zealand Datsun Club

So my car has to be recomplied, where is the best place to go and how hard is it going to be to pass? i have rust but im unsure if it will be structual also one of the chassis numbers has been drilled out, i will put it back in but how major will they check it?

to be honest its getting very hard, even fresh jap imports are getting a hard time, you WILL be required to have the entire underneath sand blasted and underbody sealer applied. (its mandatory) allow around $1000 for this, cost of compliance around $600 includes wof and rego, factor in any rust repairs (if there is rust you MUST have it repaired) rust cert $250 odd, plus cost of repairs.
It gets pretty pricey pretty quick, im doing a valiant for a customer that would pass its warrant check tomorrow on the body side of things, but for a re-vin its getting pulled apart for the smallest things.

not good news im sorry, buying a live shell is your better option.

pm datsunboy he can offer his experience on the re vin rust cert situation

I think theres a bit of a difference between a revin, and a fresh compliance. ie, never been on the road in NZ.

there is? it was dereg in 2009 if that is true then that would be mint
