t4 Tranporter Transformer

[Sunny43.5]

What's going on these days?
QLD used to be home of the crapboxes!
Anything could get registered up there.

(welcome aboard t4camping)

edit - that must of been one of the last ones ever built!

Just because we are Queenslanders does not mean we have ****ty cars , all those yellow number plates we see sneakng across the border to live here does not mean you lot are better than us ! I still would like to see the whole of that yellow sticker , next I bought my first T4 in 2000 and then another new one in 2001 they were still being sold upto 2004 when we then bought two T5's . If T4 camping can give us abit more info I hope we can help him get it complied .

We're not that thick down here..........

The engine you have fitted to that van is the 1.9 ABL TURBO Diesel and I don't think it was an option for us here in Oz so most likely a private import.
This guy on YouTube gives it a good wrap!

There's the tell... personally imported vehicle. It probably won't have an Oz compliance plate...

Well, isn't that approval number enough?

I agree if the van has been imported and has been previously registered , it should be ok for approval for Qld rego . I think he needs to go back to the local transport office and start jumping up and down , someone in that office does not know the specific regulations . From past experience and dealing with Qld Transport only a tiny proportion of them actually know all the regulations . I remember many years ago when I attended a Qld Transport training seminar , I got talking to the head inspection officer for the Gold Coast Transport about sunroofs and what were the rules about doing aftermarket installations . He made me laugh when he said there were no rules to follow and suggested that as I was a sunroof installer that I should write a set of regulations for them . This bloke was an Automotive engineer !!

So, I've spoken to a Qld Vehicle Inspections lady when I rang the number off the Qld Government website. She said she is happy with the history of the vehicle, got a Revs Check & happy days, last registered in WA, and she reckons I just need to find a RWC person who is willing to do the RWC without a plate stating the seating capacity. Haha. Anyone know of any dodgey RWC fellas?? I think Sunny43.5 is spot on.
