Yea but it gives you a bit of time to save up for rego.

Speaking of it all I need to find out what it's going to cost me for a blue slip for my bike and the whole shabang..

it's a piece of piss. just like registering an imported car for the first time, or a new car even.

get blue slip ($120)

get green slip ($400)

pay stamp duty (3% of sale price)

Pay rego (I forget, maybe $200)

get 'randomly' selected for a Vehicle Identity Check (they make you pay for it too which sucks. $30)

now enjoy your newly, NSW registered car. :yes: Total cost of first rego is about $1,000 and up (depends on the stamp duty component as to how far up...)

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I couldn't see the sense in starting a new one.

I'm possibly going to be moving back to NSW hopefully by the end of the year (work permitting) and would soon be faced with the dilemma of reregistering a car in NSW.

From what I've read thus far, QLD Engineer's Cert counts for squat in NSW? How much does it cost to get one issued in NSW?

My R34's had a turbo conversion done, 3" turboback exhaust, apexi pod fully enclosed, 30mm lowered king springs, 18x8 wheels, brake upgrade using R33 GTSt Brakes and ADR Approved lines, GReddy Profec B Spec II, GReddy eManage Blue.

My concern if I move back down, is basically getting pulled up for this "random check" and gett assraped for mods.

My car isn't what I'd consider to be heavily modified, not like my cars dropped on its guts with a big look-at-me body kit and atmo BOV... but I'm not sure how it would be seen in the eyes of the RTA and wouldn't want to run into any costly and moreso inconvenient problems when moving back.

I'm not overly fussed on rego, my rego expires in December a few days after i'm on an open licence so I won't be missing out on much there provided I can move back by Christmas.

Any idea on how NSW handles the expiries on licence transfers? When I moved to Queensland they basically took the time I had left on my licence and added it to my Queensland licence, and for a relatively small amount I was able to extend the time to June 2010. No stupid licence fees and card fees etc... I'm hoping that NSW would do the same with the expiry.

I know that at some stage I'm best to speak to the RTA, but it's always good to know the experience of others, particularly when it comes to modified imports.

OMG513 - Ken I think it is, is having dramas with a modded r33 gtst from qld to here.

He started a thread before, somewehre here in NSW general, could be worth a read or a pm to him.

I bought my mx5 from QLD, and yeah, the QLD engineer/mod plate wont mean anything here :(

Cheers Chris, found the thread you were talking about... he's got an R33 with roll cage and Rb26 swap etc... mine's not quite that modified lol Because I've spent so much on labour and tuning, my concern is not having to revert back to stock...

I've only done a bolt-on conversion with an R33 GTSt turbo, used R33 GTSt brakes with ADR approved lines, custom turbo back exhaust.. the only things really aftermarket is the exhaust, eManage Blue (required to make sure everything runs correctly), GReddy Profec B Spec II, Walbro fuel pump, king springs (30mm lowered) and whiteline swaybars and misc whiteline suspension bushings, FMIC Kit, apexi pod (enclosed). I'm not making mega killerwasps of power, everythings plumbed in, no oil catch cans or breathers, try to keep most things standard-ish... even have gauges mounted on the side of the console so they aren't in a defectable area.

I've just invested a lot of time and money into doing the conversion and tuning to not want to risk any problems when tfring back... besides the fact that i don't have all of my old parts.

Well I just gave the RTA a call and spoke to technical inquiries and got a LOT of good help!!

QLD issued engineers certs are not accepted in NSW, UNLESS, it's on their list of approved signatories. Refer this list here: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow...s_june_2009.pdf

Basically, if it's an approved signatory, then you just need to make sure the report is in that format acceptable to NSW standards. Take that report and original import docs to get a blueslip and done, is what I've been assured.

So now all I need to do is make sure that it will pass engineer approval with one of these approved signatories and it should be all good... I'll probably get a resonator fitted to my exhaust to quieten it down, and do something about not having a washer bottle first, but if I do go ahead with the move at least I have somewhere to start from in QLD to ensure I don't have problems with NSW accepted engineer's certs.

I suppose it's still questionable to a cop when getting pulled over as to the validity of the Queensland issued mod plate even if you tell them its on the list of approved signatories...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
