ive been to vic, nsw, and rego in qld never once got defected, been pulled over many times though. this was also on my p's as qld didnt have those rules but vic and nsw did at the time.

99% chance youll be fine and they wont bother, theres more cars they can get in sydney for alot less stuffing around.

I dont know if the police officer told you, you need to change your licence and plates after 3 months of living in NSW.. Its on the RTA website .. However I would not bother.

Yeah he told me that, then i explained my circumstances and by law i'm exempt from that, so my qld license has 5 years left on it, and i can pay rego over the internet. (no roadworthy needed unless changing owner)

That's cool!

I didn't know that there were grounds for an exemption!

Is there a list explaining what these grounds are?

Congrats!

I also find this hard to believe... but like pod filters, I'm going to assume that no one ACTUALLY knows the answer

Also, I'm assuming further that you are keeping your listed address as the on in Qld? meaning that 'technically' you don't live here, hence the exception. :) amirite? :)

Ive heard mention of a law which mentions devices such as coolers which are outside plastic or meshed area of the car.. E.G Rx3 turbo with a huge cooler mounted infront of the metal with only a bumper bar (an actual single bar) covering the cooler.

This is a cheese grate for peds and a blender if in motion. u get the idea .. blood n guts etc...

I believe what he wanted to say was its protected from pedestrians.

I call shenanigans.

There is no excemtion for people moving to NSW to retain their interstate licence. The only excemptions are people who are not permanent residents of Australia, Military personnel etc. You are here for more than 3 months and you need a NSW licence as well as NSW registration.

See ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) REGULATION 2008 - REG 99

FMIC advice is also rubbish. You can have a FMIC if it complies to standards such as an IM240 emissions test and the structural integrity of the vehicle is not altered (eg engineeers report) Pod or any exposedd filters are also subject to emission testing.

You would apply for an excemption in NSW and be excempted as you owned the car interstate before the commencement of their HP vehicle scheme.

      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.

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

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      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.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
