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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
