Advice Needed On Registering Car Being Bought Over From Nsw


Recommended Posts

Hello, just wondering if someone can tell me whats involved in getting a car registered in WA that will be bought over from NSW. It's a late model Monaro (about 3-4 yrs old) basically std except for exhaust and lowered. It has also been un-registered over here for the last 5 months - not sure if this will make a difference or not?

Thankyou.

This topic has been covered a bunch of times here already.

But basically; you'll need a temporary moving permit (48hrs) which will allow you to take it to the pits, you'll need to get a inspection done and as long as everything is legal on the car; you should be good to go the same day.

You will need to check that the car has an immobiliser as they're required here but not in the eastern states. If you don't have an immobiliser; you'll need to get one fitted before getting the inspection done.

For the inspection you'll need change of ownership forms and any other related documentation. Also you'll need to make sure all lights/wipers/indicators etc. etc. is in 100% working condition.

dont expect to pass over the first time tho, they will turn you away if you have a slight oil leak. being a comodore it will have plenty :banana: as soon as the car hits WA soil you arnt aloud to drive it so yeh like levinet said.. get a permit, its only about 12 bucks.

prepare to pay about 70 bucks for your first going.. second time will be about 35 from memory.

go first thing in the morning and go to welshpool.

that's what taking it over the pits is for.

Oh and be prepared to pay a fair whack for stamp duty and any sort of contract you had showing purchase price.

My guy let me pass with a minor oil leak which he said to get fixed and I have.

are there any pits here that do inspections by appointments? Last time i went to welshpool the dam line was pass the outside gate. From memory i was there for 3hrs. My car is stock bar cat back so shouldn't have problem passing. More concerned about not waitng to pass. Is midland busy? Also where do i ring for temp moving permit?

All the centres in Perth are by appointment, I think at Welshpool you can rock up before 8 without an appointment ?? Not to sure about this though. Easier to make an appointment.

Temporary Movement Permits can be purchased over the phone with credit card, or at any licensing centre. $13.85 ?? or something minor, you'll need the VIN/Chassis and Engine number.

Don't forget you will probably have to do an IMS240 test if you have a modified exhaust so budget a couple of grand for that(pits will te3ll you if you need this test)

^^^ its not an import so it'll be fine... LOL.

No really, I bet he'll pass without the IM240 test, its post 89, and naturally aspirated, and its not like the guys at the pits know what theyre looking for either.

any vehicle with an aftermarket exhaust it supposed to have the test :)

Actually, its an R34, not a Monaro, LOL when I read the thread I did notice it was an old one bumped, but for some reason that didnt click when I was replying.

Yeah, R34 Skyline, put another few grand away for emmisions buddy, you'll need it.

picked up my vspec II from nsw last tuesday and took it over the pits on thursday and passed. It has turbo back exhaust, rims and coilovers. Did the inspection at east perth. Really nice guy and was more interested in my car then the inspection lol.

Was the vehicle already registered over East?

if not, no emmisions test?

It was complied march last year and ever since then never been registered and sitting in the yard. But the day before the dealer sent it to the depo he got it registered to nsw. Dont know why thou but it rolled of the train with brand new nsw plates. I didn't need a emmision test.

So you were registering a "vehicle transfer", not registering an unregistered vehicle, that'd be why they didn't ask for an emmisions test.

Although I keep hearing alot of people are passing pits with all stock setups.

so let's say you brought over a car from NSW that had a cat-back...

it is registered but needs WA plates now... if you have a modified exhaust you will need to get the IM240 test?

and on another note: if you go over pits now with a standard exhaust (car already registered here) there will be no IM240 test required correct?

thanks guys

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
