Hey, anyone in here a lawer or a police person?? Got pulled up on my way home from work today, copper then says that he has checked with the RTA and my car is unregistered, it is regod in VIC so wont show up on RTA, he ignored this fact, proceded to remove my rego label and give me TWO fines for $450 each with the same offence description but different offence codes and one saying my car is regd in NSW. What the hell can i do about this?? :unsure:

Call the RTA and the victorian road authority and see what the can do about printing something out to say that your car is registered.

If they do that, your set, take it to the cop shop and show them.

If that doesnt work, get yourself lawyered up.

Wow, that is f**ked. What a prick.

If it is all legal and the copper was just being a prick, I start by calling a the relevant transport authority to get advice (and to check the copper was not right), Then I'd be calling a police station to ask what the story is and what you can do. If you still think your right and nobody has helped you, get some professional legal advice.

Good luck.

Are you driving on a victorian or nsw licence?

How long have you had the vehicle registered in vic?

How long have you been living in nsw? - what i can gather from previous posts, you've been living in nsw for at least 6 months.

Unless you can prove that you don't actually live in nsw, you'll just have to wear it.

From RTA website:

Is your vehicle registered interstate?

If you have moved to NSW from interstate with an interstate-registered vehicle, you must register your vehicle in NSW.

You must bring your interstate number plates with you when you apply to register your vehicle in NSW. You'll have to surrender your interstate plates before you'll be given NSW plates.

All second-hand vehicles requesting establishment of registration (including interstate and imported vehicles) may be selected for an additional inspection by the RTA's vehicle identity unit. You will be notified at the time of registration if you are selected.

blah blah blah......

Second-hand vehicles (interstate)

To establish registration for a second-hand vehicle purchased interstate, you will need to go to a motor registry and provide:

* Proof of your identity (see related link above right) or, if registering the vehicle in the name of a company, proof of company name and the ACN/ARBN number.

* Proof of acquisition (eg a receipt for purchase of the vehicle, certificate of registration signed by the previous registered operator/s of the vehicle, or the previous certificate of registration in the same name if coming from interstate).

* Proof of your residential address (see related link above right).

* A valid Compulsory Third Party insurance policy – also known as a green slip – with the number plate section blank (not required for trailers).

* An inspection report – also known as a blue slip – from an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Station (AUVIS). If there is no AUVIS in your area, you can get a pink slip from an Authorised Inspection Station (AIS) instead of the blue slip.

* Your interstate number plates – you'll have to surrender your interstate plates before you'll be given NSW plates.

* Evidence of eligibility for any concession (see related links to Pensioner concessions and Apprentice registration rebate above right).

* A completed Application for Registration form.

* Payment for registration, including stamp duty (3% of the vehicle's purchase price, 5% if more than $45,000) and applicable number plate fee.

Beau there's a DEFGRAM out that explains it all. I think most states you have to change your rego within 3 months of moving however you can keep your licence current until next renewal (all states except Vic from memory).

Try the defweb first as the RTA will have no idea on the Defence scheme but I am almost 100% that you still need to change your registration within 3 months of your posting wef date.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
