For those who have moved to sydney and had to register their car? Was it tough and costly?

I am having a look at the RTA site and it seems so complicated. (im mean proof of acquisition mmm) Pls share your experienced. Im thinking whether to bring my line down from Brisbane or not.

On a different note it would be great to meet some of you down there - maybe show me the nice roads to drive around ;)

Try to hold out as long as you can, nsw rego is shit, if you get pulled up just say you just moved here, not entirely legal, but works until you get told otherwise. On the other hand, if you want to do it, you need to get a green slip(CTP insurance) a blue slip (roadworthy inspection) and your current rego certificate and go to a RTA office and they will change it over, but you need to change your licence first.

Its a major pain in the ass! I moved from melb to syd 4 months ago and im still trying to get my car registered here. In hindsight I would have kept rego in Vic for as long as I could. Yes its illegal after 3 months but NSW has to be the highest paying in rego + CTP in Oz. All the best with the move.

The regular one isnt too bad, but the initial blue slip is a complete pain, they even test your braking g force (kinda cool to know) i think they look in everything. Where in sydney are you, i could suggest a few places to get this done depending where you are

Well I passed the RTAs Vehicle Identification Inspection on Thursday, the guys seemed pretty good. They originally failed me because the side skirts rubbed on the hoist ramp, because it only had 90mm clearance not the required 100mm. As the car had pretty much everything stock (apart from bodykit, coilovers) they didn't pick on anything and passed me. I'm just glad to have passed so that I can register the car.

are you guys for real? I registered a car from sratch on thursday.

all you need to do it:

ring up and organise a greenslip (around $400)

go to a blue slip place and get a blue slip ($100)

go and pick up a copy of the greenslip

take greenslip and blueslip to the RTA pay your rego ($250) and stamp duty if required (3%)

now 2 things can happen. you either get given rego and plates on the spot or you get randomly chosen for a Vehicle Identity Check. This is a pain but it's only if you get chosesn. If you get chosen you have to make an appointment and take your car to an RTA inspection station. then you can get the rego. there is no charge for the check from memory.

As far as 'random' goes, everyone at the RTA I spoke to said that ALL imports will be required for the VII.

Not sure where you got your prices from but my Green Slip was $588 and Blue slip $113, and I'm dredding the rego and stamp duty costs i'm going to pay on Tuesday.

As random as it's supposed to be, everyone i know has been pinged for that. Myself included. It is a f**king pain in the but. No insurance, no rego. I had to tow my car there, drive another car to get rego, leaving my friend sitting in my car so that no bogan would nic it. Then I had to get insurance over the phone. Drive back to my car, then drive it.

bloody waste of time and money.

That certainly was a waste of time and money considering it is perfectly legal to drive your unregistered car to the AUVIS which is what most people do.

Ah well next time! And yeah although it is legal I question how smart it is considering you are uninsured on the drive there and back. At least your way was relatively risk free.

it's definately random and it's not true that every import gets chose (another nice myth). I always go the same RTA. the last car I did (last week) didn't get pinged. The one before did get pinged, the one before that didn't get pinged, the one before that didn't get pinged (you get the idea). as for greenslip $400 was conservative as I can't remember if they charge more for establishment slips. The one on my GTR is $360, as is the one on the GTST, the 33 GTR was $420 I think (all of them with AAMI). yeah, blue slip is pretty much $100-$130 depending on where you go.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
