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

Thanks heaps for that Corinne :/

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.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
