I think you will find that it isn't actually a 15year rule, rather its a 1988 and earlier rule (It was 15years when it was introduced in 04 or something)

Ring up the rta and double check

Hey man, I'll think youll find it still should have an import number, just no plate. Look around the top or the sides of the shock towers in the engine bay, usually on the left one and you should spot a single silver plate with a few letters and numbers. 2 of my sil's have been like this (both 88 sil's...)

Has it ever had rego? If it has just check all the numbers match up and theres no signs of tampering with the chassis/ engine numbers.

hay man i bought my s13 a few months ago and it had no blue plate on it (at least i havent found it yet.. and ive replaced the turbo so ive had a good look everywhere!) its a 1989 model and from what we gathered we thought it would have been imported in about 2005, (which is 16 years after 1989), so maybe thats why mine doesnt and could be why yours doesnt?

Cars imported under the 15 year rule don't need a compliance plate fixed to them. You only need the engineers report that shows you have made it comply.

Yeah I may be wrong but that was my understanding, i'll post a pic of what I suggested to look for so you know, or I can be corrected if I am indeed wrong lol. But yes unless it hasnt been registered in the past make sure everything is legit with the RTA first.


Edited ofcourse...

As I mentioned before, If it was originally complied under the 15 year law, it doesn't need to have an import compliance plate
