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.

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!)

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?

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.

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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
