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.

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
