Hi guys,

sorry if this question gets asked all the time...

I'm looking at moving to brisbane within the next few months and one thing I'm not sure of is how I'll go transferring my rego over to QLD plates. I live in SA now and the car's all legally registered etc.

but SA dont have roadworthy cert's so I'll need to get me one of those.

How do you go with these on modified skylines etc (I own a stagea) - will I need to remove my manual boost controller and reconnect the stock solenoid? and will I need to disconnect my SAFC? Those are the only two things I think I'd have any issues with. Oh and when I had the exhaust fitted they removed the heatshield above the turbo saying it didn't fit any more - so do I need to get some kind of heat shield put back on there?

I just dont want any hassle with it cos otherwise its gonna be a pain in the neck and an extra cost I dont need on top of moving costs etc.

I should mention that the above mods (well, everything thats in my sig) were done AFTER it was registered here in SA.

Most of this stuff is well out of sight and you wouldn't find it unless you were looking for it. And also, the car looks stock, and is quite safe etc. and runs quiet and more than likely has less emissions than when it was stock.

So how strict are most mechanics with these roadworthy inspections? Will I be ok as is or will I need to return it completely back to stock?

Hey buddy, they don't inspect your car i heard that, but i transfered mine a few months ago and they didnt i just got a roadworthy

, i don't think any of your upgrades would be a problem. i could give you the number of the guy that did mine if u like. youd be better off ringing and asking him,

I brought mine in from NSW. Step 1:Get RWC Step 2:go to QLD Transport and fill out the form for unregistered vehicle as its from out of state. Give them your old plates and $$$... Done. Rego sticker will be in the mail and new plates handed to you.

RWC won't be too difficult, most mechanics arn't $%^&*'s about it. You shouldn't have a problem with the 3 things you mentioned. If you do you can always go elsewhere for another RWC.

As for them looking at your vehicle at QLD Transport.... lol..... like those old women in the office would know what they are looking at. It's all in the paperwork.

Yer what you have listed there isnt a problem up here, pretty much as long as nothing is hanging off, no oil dripping out, and the tyres are ok, as well as the wipers/washers and all exterior lights work you will be fine.

Most mechanics up here are ok, best bet is to use a mechanic shop that deals alot with imports, then once you got the RWC its as the others said, over to the transport department, fill in the papers and pay the cash for the rego.

good luck with the move

they do check the car, but all they check is that the engine number on the engine matches the engine number from the previous registration

as mentioned the form isfor an unregistered vehicle

i moved up from VIC and sold my car up here still registered in Vic. i did some research and got all the forms for the owner. the forms are all available from the QLD transport website. all you do is fill out the form and fill in that it has been previously registered in another state. provide the engine number and vin i think and then go down to QLD transport. should cost you nothing. give in your old plates and grab a set of new ones :thumbsup:

and better get a QLD lisence while you're there.. unfortunately still have laminated pieces of shit in QLD but its better to be safe than sorry and risk a fine

cheers,

Warren

so what happens if the numbers are different due to purchasing another engine?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
