Hi All

Has anyone removed a private plate from a car and held that plate on retention but claimed the remaining rego back, can it even be done without relinquishing the plate?

If the plate is deregistered, I believe you can but if the plate is staying with the owner, not the car, is the bit I am not sure on.

Have searched the Vic Roads website but nothing explicitly on that.

Am guessing most people would transfer a private plate from one vehicle straight to another so it would make no sense claiming back.

:)

Personal Plates stay with the owner.

That wasnt the question Rav, I know they stay with the owner as I have a couple of sets.

Question was, can I claim back the months unused without relinquishing the plates. If I hand the plates back to Vic Roads, I can claim the remaining months but I don't want to hand them back. I don't want to effectively pay rego on plates that are not on a car (over 11 months worth).

Yea iam pretty sure you can because the plates are singed over in your name you should have some paper work with the plates. and they just cancel the rego. You can still hold on to the plates even if they are not in currant rego.

My mate personal plates have been of his car for ages just seating in his room.

There isnt any paperwork with the plates, I have asked for a certificate on previous occasions but on those occasions, the rego has coincidently just about expired so haven't bothered claiming. The nearest I could get to a certificate was a stamp with the time and date on and the initials of the Vic Roads guy saying I had been issued with standard plates.

Might just have to call up and see but didnt want to have to sit in a phone queue if I didnt have to. Am guessing to do it, they would take the rego label off me as it is paid until Feb next year.

Damn - no correct answer!

Answer is, you can't, you can claim the rego on plates being given back as they are no longer in use and not being substituted for any other plates.

You can't claim the personal rego plate $$ back otherwise the new ones going on would have nothing paid against them.

Thread can be closed/locked :teehee:

Thats a bit stupid...

I always thought that seeing as you pay a price in full for the plate to be made up initially and rego is for the vehicle for 12months. If you have 3months left on rego and the vehicle is going to be de-registered you then claim 3months back as the plates have already been payed for in full. :)

Not stupid because that is what you can do.

What you can't do is transfer rego, then claim the paid part back from the one you transferred over as it would make the new one invalid as there was no money on it (might take a few reads to understand :ermm: )

You should be able to swap your numberplates for standard ones on your car (but obviously hold onto your custom plates). Once the standard ones are on, then deregister the car and claim back left over rego.

Don't a lot of people buy a set of plates and simply hold onto them. They never actually get put onto a car. Plates like 'GTHO'. Then they come up for sale for ridiculous $$$.

Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
