Hey guys hope this is the right section

I'm considering purchasing a skyline from Queensland, the car in question is engineered except for the ECU and boost controller.

What am I in for and what is required to get the car over the border? Any help would be great as I'm pretty clueless with these things.

Cheers Steve.

fill the boot with drugs and put it in a covered semi!

lol

i bought a car in the ACT recently and im just waiting for ACT rego to run out, then ive gotta get a blueslip and transfer it all into my name and put my custom plates back on it....

but yeah blueslip and normal rego stuff i think...

call the rta they are there to help

We just did it.

Step 1:

Get the rego papers

Step 2:

Get a note from the owner stating their name & address where the car is registered at, sold to one zilch who lives at 102 skyline way, sydney for $xxx amount rego number 589 X97 QLD vin/chassis number. sold on date 19/02/2008 and get them to sign it.

Step 3

bring the car back to NSW

Step 4

Go get a blue slip

Step 5

Go to the RTA give them your

A) Blue slip

B) Change of registration form (you must fill this out at the rta)

C) The note that the old owner has given you

D) Just have the old rego papers on hand

Step 6

Give them lots of monies and you have a NSW registered car. (woo hoo!)

hahaahah this guy..

what you gonna if theres no more drugs n shit left in the world

Thanks heaps for that Corinne :/

I was just unsure of the procedure and yeah the car has a ton of mods but I suppose if they are all engineered it won't matter

Oh and how much did it cost you?

love is the drug schneggles..!

blueslips are pretty expensive.. and normally they want you to slap a year of rego on it..

im factoring 1kish for my changeover

It depends..

It will cost you the

* Blue slip

* Green slip I forgot to mention you need one of these

* Transfer of rego fee which is certain percent of the car it all varies

* and of course the full 12 months rego.

Cost some big bucks because you have to put 12 new rego on it.

But then you won't have to worry about it running out.

The QLD engineering stuff doesn't mean squat to NSW they don't reconise it.

We just did it.

Hey Corinne,

What car did you bring over?

I just did this with my V35 and went as above, except before I handed over the monies I had to take the car through a random "ID Check".

If the car has rego it's no big deal as you can still drive it while waiting for the ID check but not sure if they check other things like mods while doing the "ID Check" mine was pretty standard, with only exhaust and Nismo suspension.

As for driving down, definately do it. I bought my car from Noosa and had a truck waiting in Brisbane. An hour into the drive from Noosa, I cancelled the truck called the Mrs and said, see you tomorrow.

I also got a nice souvenier from the Queensland police about a week ago (I bought it in December), a pic of my car passing a nice Torana photographed by our friendly speed cameras. :-) And a nice close up as well. I think you can see my smile in the pic. I'm getting it framed as i type.

We bought a vs commonwhore & my bike down.

That random ID check IS BADDD make sure the car is completely stock when it goes for it.

exactly - I thought I would be rejected but in the end i passed first go with my V35 even though I had the exhaust and suspension.

I got through nice and easy when I imported my first V35, but I think it could be cause the V35's are newer NON turbo they may be a little more leanient on them

Hmm. Well when we went to get a blue slip for the GTR the place on parra road didn't want to do it because it wasn't standard and if we had to have a ID check done they would have fined the dealership doing the blue slip.. We just said we had all the spare parts and home (which we did) and if we were called to book it in we would change it back the day before. Had the blueslip done and lucky the RTA didn't check it.

I doubt they would make me do it for the bike. I still have the thing on QLD rego until I get a bit of money to re-rego it.

thats the same with me...

your MEANT to transfer it right away, but my car still had like 6 months rego on it, and the dealer slapped in my name already so when i had the funds (now) ill do it... (runs out on 28th.. lol)

but you can get in trouble for not doing it asap.. and get taken to court (sif thats going to happen)

It's shit hey Haysey! It's a waste of money not to let the bloody rego run out. Because unlike NSW if you buy a car from another state that money goes back to the old owner. Load of crap I tell you.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
