I know you can get a permit to drive an unregistered car for purposes related to

getting it registered.

What I don't know is if the car is to be picked up in brisbane, and taken to sydney..

a) do you need two permits, one NSW RTA and one QLD RTA?, or just one state is enough?

b) can you drive it home, rather than mascot motor registry, if your trip means you arrive at night?

In the car, you need ..?

- import papers

- unregistered driving the car permit(s)

- compliance paperwork

- third party insurance cover-note?

is that it?

TIA.

I had a quick look into this a while ago, the RTA websites can tell you quite a bit - but from what I remember you do need permits from both states, which are about $40-50 if memory serves, and I am not sure about what paperwork you need with you, but if I were you I would take everything, its not heavy and it would suck if you needed something that you could have easily brought with you.

Anyway, the best people to talk to are the RTA, go make a phone call ;)

I just looked into this as well.

I thiunk basically the fees vary but the general rule is that the permit must be obtained from the state the vehicle starts its journey in.

For example, I have to get a VicRoads permit to bring my vehicle back to Tassie. I asked about getting a permit here in Tas and they told me to go talk to VicRoads.

Most of the websites have similar info.

Can this license be used for a defected car or is there another one?

What licence??

Best thing to do is to check the applicable Roads/Transport/Registration Department Website for the state you live in.

I posted links to two different ones there.

google.com is your best friend here if you don't know the department you need to talk to in your own state.

well I did it.

I needed first to get a QLD short-term (up to 7 day) CTP , which you can get at a suncorp bank branch

with minimal details (vin number, your license). Cost about $60. It isn't called CTP up there, or green slip,

it is called class something or other insurance.

then you go to queensland transport with your filled out permit form, and the above-mentioned CTP receipt,

and you have to write on the form exactly where you will be each day of the proposed trip. That gets you

a hand-written white paper you can stick on the windscreen.

then you drive back, and cops stop you in byron bay, and get all excited and puffed up until they radio it in

and find out everything is legal (byron was written on my proposed route).

Finally, you drive through the E tolls into sydney, and give a finger to the camera on the way past. You can

also laugh at the speeding cameras en-route (but I was a good boy, helped by the fact that I didn't notice

my speedo was a full 10% optimistic vs the GPS unit).

      Yes that’s what im trying to decide. Should I do stock gtt box or enclosed or open pod.

      Also, I note OP is in Melbourne, which begs the question... are you aware of how illegal your car will be with a turbo, and intercooler and any sort of filter change? I don't know how you can get past the "2 intake mods" "rule" that seems to exist in Vic. Fully engineered might or might not get you there.

      If you have a turbo... then the ducting holes I used to feed the pod are not available because your intercooler likely uses them. If you have an intercooler, your IAT's are going to be goverened by how good your intercooler setup is. I'm yet to really see anyone check IAT with a snorkel/boxed pod/proper CAI versus and unshielded pod. It would be interesting! But I suspect that the differences would not be so noticeable as if you were N/A as the intercooler is where the air is being cooled.. and out in front where the FMIC would be is a pretty good spot for it.. When I was turbo I pushed the stock GTT box as far as I could and made some pretty good power out of it, and noticed on the street I never made the same power/boost. Then I did a before and after run with a pod filter versus the box and picked up about 9PSI from the same boost duty cycle and about 50KW instantly. I never ran the stock box again, and recently removed it for my N/A setup. The box is restrictive to a degree - Even with the V8 setup I noticed I picked up power by removing the box completely, so punching holes from the bottom of it to get air from the passenger guard *helps* but the most effective one in my case was simply having the ducts, a pod, and no box around it. In my experience, *more* air was better than cold air. The air (with ducts) will be cooled off as you start moving, and especially if you start moving fast (a race track). It actually moves around quite a bit as you can see.

      Well you could certainly buy or build an enclosure for a pod in that corner of the bay. It is absolutely vital that there is a nice big opening to let cold air in to it from the front or underside, otherwise it will just pull air in around the edges from the bay, and if that air is hot, you gain nothing from enclosing the pod. There is lots of good evidence around (including on here, see posts by @Kinkstaah for example) showing that pods pulling hot air from the bay is only a problem when you're static or slow in traffic, and that as soon as you get the car up and moving the air being grabbed by the pod cools down. Although that will obviously vary from car to car, whether there is a flow of cold air to the pod or if it all has to come through the radiator area, etc etc. Obviously, the whole exercise requires as much thought as anything else does. Doing the lazy thing will often end up being the dumb thing. The stock GTT airbox has a cold air snorkel to feed it from over the radiator. Shows that Nissan were thinking. The GT airbox is upside down compared to the turbo one, yeah? Inlet at the bottom, AFM/exit on the lid? That might make it harder to route the turbo inlet pipe using the GT airbox than a turbo one. That would probably be the main reason I'd consider not using it, not that it is too small and restrictive. I'm looking at a photo of one now and the inlet opening seems nice and large. Also seems to have the same type of snorkel that the turbo one has. Maybe all that's required is to make a less restrictive snorkel/cold air inlet, perhaps by punching down through the guard like I did.
