Australian Design Rules
Jason Stead
Australian Design Rules of nicks instead of giving the Government more
of my money.
If you can help me please don't hesitate sending me an Email or posting
a response.
I am keen on building a Cobra down here but I am interested in the rules
first.
Thanks Jason.

Are you going to be producing & selling them, or making one for yourself?
Because I don't think the ADR's are relevant if you're building a car for
yourself; I think you'll find that whoever does registrations in your state
has rules on one-off cars.

The local roads & traffic office, whatever that may be, will be able to
tell you; there'll be an info line of some sort.

vehicle is manufactured before an ADR is introduced your vehicle doesn't
have to be upgraded, ie seatbelts in pre 70's cars.
As for a new car being built (private or manufactured) they must be passed
by the Transport department in your state. (These inspections are a Joke in
QLD)

Not exactly true ........ ADRs cover mass produced vehicles within
Australia and those imported into the country though at one time the
importation of non-ADR vehicles was not restricted. In the late 80's
vast numbers (one week there were over 2,000 vehicles sitting on ships
in Fremantle harbour) of non-ADR vehicles were being imported into W.A.
because cars registered in W.A. only have to comply with the W.A.
Vehicle Standards Regulations. The Federal government introduced the
regulations which prohibit the import of non-ADR vehicles except under
certain circumstances (e.g. race or rally use) under pressure from the
vehicle manufacturers who were losing large numbers of new sales to
these cheap imports. I owned two - a 1982 Nissan Bluebird Turbo and a
1983 Lancer Turbo.

If a vehicle has a compliance plate fitted all requirements must be met.
For example a pre-1974 car will not have 27 stamped on the compliance
plate so there is no need to meet the requirements of ADR27 - emission
controls.
However there are certain minimum standards for vehicle registration and
at least in W.A. seat belts need to be fitted even if the car doesn't
have a compliance plate.

a home made vehicle (I'm currently in the research phase of building a Lotus
Seven clone). The Department of Transport in your state should be able to
tell you (it's where I got my info).
