    compliance plate should be at the "frunk"
    stand at front of the car and lean forward and look at your crutch
    coilovers would always get you defected as you may be at 120mm hight (legal)
    but with 3 turns of the spanner at the side of a road you could make it 50mm (not legal)
    just remember to be nice to them.... or thay will pick you car apart..
    apart form the coils what else thay get you on?

    When cars are imported and were made before 1989 they did not get compliance plates. All they got was a letter stating that the car had passed the necessary checks.
    Just recently SA started to issue State ID Plate stickers that in part stated the car was imported.

    So your car may never have got "Compliance Plates" as some states did not issue any unless the car was made after 1989.

    Your car does have a plate from Toyota that gives the Vin and Japanese ID of the car. This is located in the front trunk almost where the hood catch is.

    However I am sure Regency would know where that was.

    This is one of the major problems when trying to register an imported interstate car as each state has their own laws.

    A case in point until the begining of this year was that in NSW you could legally have your windows tinted quite dark. When you came to SA however you would be defected because you were not allowed to have that done.

    It is about time Australia set up uniform laws so the public does not have this sort of problem.

    Hope you get it passed.

    Cheers
