Friendly TUV tester

[Richie200]

Anyone know of a TUV tester who may overlook the fact that I have a barely road legal race car which has a UK MOT. I am thinking about registering my car over in the fatherland but according to my work colleagues I have about as much chance as winning the lottery 2 weeks in a row. Preferably as close to Traben-Trarbach/mosel region as possible.
Vielen Dank

Hi Richard !

Bad Nissan that you have there, has it ever run a quartermile,
or is it more of a street/track weapon ?

I suggest Frank Wambach, he is a vehicle engineer running a GTÜ station & workshop :

http://www.gtuewetzlar.de/

He is running a Plymouth Duster in "Street Eliminator Germany" and should be able to see

if your Nissan could get a german plate & "TÜV (MOT) sticker"

Wetzlar is about 50KM north of Frankfurt close to autobahn A5.

By the way, the most brutal car ever to carry a german (historical ) plate
is the 55 Chevy that used to be a Pro Mod Drag Car in its earlier life :

Now sporting a 9.5 l Big Block Chevy with ProCharger throwing 1600 hp to the axle
and does a 7.8 / 175mph, so registering a racecar is not totally verboten any more.

HTH,
Benni

Saw that a couple of weeks ago at Hockenheim at the Public Race Day, well impressive ;-)

Hi Benni, many thanks for the info. I will defo give these guys a shout to see what can be done. The car was used for track, Drag and Sprint. I have since got rid of this car but have a similar flavour vehicle now. A few video's and articles about the car can be found below if it is of any interest to you:

Hi Darmstadt !
I was also impressed,at the microphone, commenting it.
The 7.8 came one week later at the NitrOlympX, now this is almost "Frosty" territory...

On second thought, registering a modern car with BIG modifications is still difficult in germany,
as every car has to fulfil the emission regulations that were valid when the car was produced.
Still, give Frank a call or mail, he knows the rules AND the loopholes.
