Quick search on the web I found this. Does not answer you question but might give a idea. Check the Government web sites if no one on here knows. CHECKING YOUR PURCHASE Second-hand vehicles imported since 1989 should carry a plate that certifies they have been modified to comply with relevant Australian Design Rules or other regulations applicable in the State where the vehicle was first registered. The vast majority will have been certified under the Low Volume Import Scheme and carry a green 'Import' plate issued by a licensed Compliance Plate Holder. Cars with a yellow plate have been registered as Personal Imports but may not be ADR compliant. ] http://uniquecars.carpoint.ninemsn....D__203009/ArticleID__5850/DesktopDefault.aspx
Would it not have one if it's a Aus delivered car and if you inported it then it won't have one under the 15yr rule?
Of course it would have a compliance plate. All new cars sold in Australia after 1971/1972 had to have one fitted by law. If Aus delivered cars didn't require compliance plates, then imports wouldn't need them either. There was no rule as to where exactly they had to be fitted, as long as they were in the engine bay and visible. I believe the dealers fitted them, so thats the reason for the varying locations (especially on early cars like the 240z in the 70's). By the 80's they may have worked out a standard place to fit them for each model. Mines fitted to the front of the passenger side strut tower.It's the silver aluminium plate with all the adr numbers listed on it. If it aint there have a look near the Nissan VIN tag. After 20 odd years someone may have removed it, especially if they repainted the engine bay.
