Hi Guys,

My names Dallas, I just moved down from Cairns in QLD, (going to join NSW club soon hopefully).

I'm going to retain my QLD Rego & License while i'm living down here for a few years, might be an obvious question, but i'm not too sure. Can NSW police defect me and so fourth even though i'm running QLD Rego & License.

Any help would be appreciated, hope to see you all out at one time or another anyhow. :)

Cheers,

Dallas

If that's the case, I'm on my P's. (Old P System) and I own and drive a turbo skyline, is this going to be a problem?

I shouldn't have to sell or be unable to drive my car because of this..seeing as i had my license before the new rules were enforced in QLD.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I also assume i'm going to actually have to wear P Plates, as they arn't mandatory in QLD.

This was covered on an interstate forum, whereby (if the info was correct), if you maintain the status (ie rego & lic) from your home state, then you'd be allowed to still conform to the laws of that home state and drive a turbo car. This of course pertains to your car.

Relating to you as a person, you'd be subject to licence conditions of this state. And this being NSW, you'd be wise to display your Ps.

A word of caution:

Probably more than 90% of defecting is done at night. I'd recommend that you take off any identifying badges that indicate that your car is a turbo model, lest you be pulled over so often.

I'm happy to be corrected on this,

Tez

PS If you're staying down here for "years", it looks as if you'll have only a short period of grace to change everything; which means OUCH to the turbo car!

PPS Perhaps, it'll be legal to transfer ownership of the car to your Qld parent? But then, you might be better maintaining your Qld lic. after all. Puzzling.

You wont have an issue mate, ask most people down from QLD they basically never get pulled over.

You need a QLD officer to issue some kind of infringement in NSW because of the legal differences (like in newcastle when they have vic and NSW police at defect stations), personally ive been up in QLD and the cops look yet dont defect.) .. Speeding is obviously not included nor is wearing a seat belt... nor is drink driving - you get the drift ..

P.S if you do any of the above you are a fool - not aimed at thread creator just thought id mention it .

If you've also noticed alot of high HP cars i.e majorly defected cars are registered in QLD and drive in sydney.. Have a look at george st.. Oh yes .. dont drive down this street.

Try not to drive vehicles around this time of the year - more RBT's more chance of defects.

if you already owned the car in queensland before the laws came into affect and got your lisence befroe aswell then i wouldn't see a problem, also i know of a person who just paid the $25 for an exemption because the car was his dads for many years before hand or something like that,,,, check qwith RTA anyway, they are usually pretty helpful, and they know all the rules and can get written confirmation from them....

and if you plan to go back to queensland every year in time to renew your rego i wouldn't bother even notifying rta of any changes anyway, aslong as you still got family in cairns....

I just spoke to the RTA who referred me to the Police hotline, who then put me through to a SGT of the Highway Patrol who was rather friendly and very well informed.

What i've found out is that;

I need not wear my P's if I don't feel the need, but we recommended I did so I don't get hassled if i'm pulled over.

Intercoolers must have mush in front of them to be legal.

Atmo Bov's arn't cool.

I don't need to transfer my license or rego over to NSW.

I can drive my turbo vehicle.

Thanks for all your help guys.

The car's registration must be in the state where it spends most of its time. Same with the driver's license. I've seen people busted for this in the past.

I have been pinged in 3 states, Police do not care where you are from, you will still get an infringement notice in the mail :ermm:

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

      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.
