Done a search, didnt really find exactly what i was looking for.

Im In NSW and buying a car from vic, that has been complianced and will come with import paperwork and compliancing paperwork, Im just wondering what im going to need to rego it in nsw,

Blue and Green Slip is a given, but am i going to run into anymore hurdles along the way? Can my blue slip just be from any Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Station?

I didn't have a problem, I took the compliance paperwork to the blue slip place,

and they did a blue slip. They commented on some stuff that didn't look stock but said

it wasn't their business. Get a weigh bridge weight ticket before you go as well, otherwise

they'll charge to have that done. You can drive the car with no plates, just tell the cops

to call the blue slip business to verify that is where you're going.

The CTP was a bit more of a pain because the plate was a "TBA". I got a better quote from

allianz but commonwealth bank staff have to process it if you don't want to wait for ages

to get something in the mail, and they seem a little lost .. for a CTP you just need the

compliance paperwork so you can give them the vin number.

Then you take the CTP, and the compliance stuff, and the blue slip and the green slip,

and a RECEIPT that shows the VIN number and your name and address and the name and

address of the business that sold you the car, and the amount you paid, and you take all

this to the RTA and if one bit of the paperwork is not right you have to go away again and

fix it, it is likely the RTA staff person hasn't done "one of these" before so they drag in a

manager. etc. They look for an excuse to bounce you back out. Eg: my receipt was partly

in Japanese and that was no good.

I've heard they may ask for the car to get an inspection at the RTA place that does this,

but they didn't with me, they just handed over the plates and the temporary paperwork

for the windscreen until the proper one comes in the mail.

Sweet, thanks mate, yea my plan was basically to go there with more info than needed, so sounds like a should be sweet, getting a bluey is no problem, and ill ring around about ctp and see who'll do it with the least hassels.

if anyone else has anything to add please do! Still got 3 weeks to sort it all out, and driving with no plates isnt an issue, as ill be driving it home on an unreg. permit and then only to the blueslip inspection station then to the rta.

Cheers

my QLD unreg permit had to list *exactly* where I would drive and on what days (if the permit

was longer than 24 hours). And if you get stopped by the cops, you need to be either in one of the

spots written on the permit, or between them, and preferably on the day the permit says you can be there.

On the other hand I passed maybe four cops in one way or another and none chased me down, only

when I stopped @ byron did the locals ask me what was going on with the no plates thing.

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
