Hi..

I'm in the market for an R34 GTT and heading down to Sydney (from QLD) in the new year to check out the larger market of R34 GTTs NSW has to offer. I expect to fly down to Sydney, stay approx 5 days in the Sydney area, and drive a privately purchased vehicle back. There's a number of issues I'm expecting to face such as the following:

  • Insurance for a NSW registered car that isn't yet in my name (would like to have insurance for the drive back).
  • NSW Safety Cert for vehicle and mechanical inspection given tight timeframes.
  • REVS check and possible financial encumberance.
  • Transfer of bank funds (purchasing outright).
  • QLD Safety Cert and rego when arriving back in QLD.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I expect it to be a bit on an adventure and any advice is good advice.

Thanks,

Dan

transferring the money just go to the bank and do a tranfer.

putting the car in ur name you just get a qld roadworthy and go to the dot like usual with ur receipt and rwc and its done.

If the car is purchased with a few months remaining on the NSW rego, does that 3 months $$ of rego get transferred to the QLD rego?

Is that a refund from QLD Transport or the seller?

It would be from NSW transport. You'd have to mail them the plates and they'll mail you out a cheque for the remaining rego.

You'd need to do a transfer of ownership. Shouldn't be difficult to do, just download the forms of the Queensland transport website before you head down so that if you need to get the old owner to sign them, you can.

Insurance. Just ring them up on the day and take out a policy on the vehicle. You get a cooling off period (either 14 or 28 days, I can't remember) where you can cancel it before having to pay any money (unless you crash it in that time, then naturally they'll expect you to pay up) (Used to be that you'd get a cover letter for a short period, but I'm not sure if insurance companies do that any more, Just car's didn't for me)

Have you looked around up here for a R34 first though? I know that there have been plenty for sale over the past year.

no but you may be able to get a refund from the remaining nsw rego

You'll be lucky to get $5 from the NSW RTA after "fees".

You should get something back from the greenslip provider...maybe $100 or so. (assuming the greenslip cost 4-500 to start with)

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
