Hi Guys

Does anyone know what the law is in QLD for putting the good ol "FOR SALE" in the window of your car?

I've heard it's ok to drive around, and park on private property, but not to park in public (council land) with the signing in place.

Anyone know what the go is?

cheers,

Brett

From the Department of Transport Website:

When can vehicles be sold without a Safety Certificate?

The only time vehicles do not require a certificate to be sold is when they are unregistered or when they are traded to or between licensed motor dealers. Vehicles can still be sold for parts or restoration, but they must be de-registered before being offered for sale.

How long are Safety Certificates current for?

Make sure certificates are current. For dealers, certificates must have been issued in the previous three months or 1000 kilometres prior to sale, whichever comes first.

For private sellers Safety Certificates must have been issued in the previous two months or 2000 kilometres prior to sale, whichever comes first.

Selling a vehicle?

If you are selling a registered vehicle, you will need to obtain and display a Safety Certificate from the time you offer the vehicle for sale.

Once you have a Certificate, which identifies the Approved Inspection Station which issued it, you must display it on the vehicle from the time the vehicle is offered for sale. Click here for a seller's checklist.

If you fail to display a Safety Certificate on the vehicle from the time of sale you will receive an on-the-spot fine of $375.

Displaying Safety Certificates

Safety Certificates must be displayed in a very obvious place.

FOR EXAMPLE...

Motorbike - front forks or guard

Car - windscreen or window

Trailer - draw-bar

displaying a rwc with your details is like saying to a car thief "here take my keys and steal it now" it is a stupid law and yeah if its on public rd or land you are required to show a rwc or have it as parts or restoration,mind you qld council is pretty pathetic with all these laws and how many cars do you see with a rwc hanging from its window,i guess the law is the law,but i know i wont be putting my details on show for anyone,especially car thieves..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
