Hey everyone i have recently moved to Biggera Waters on the gold coast. Just got a few questions.

1. Has anyone transferred NSW rego over to QLD? im curious as to the price procedure in getting a car registered in this state? My rego runs out 18th of next month so would it be easier to just register it as a new car after it expires? If no one knows much about this ill just ring QT but im online now so i thought id post the question.

2. Could anyone reccomend a good panel beater/ painter in the goldcoast area where they have had work done, my first day here my car was reversed into in a car park which really sucked.

3. IS anyone or does anyone know someone in the gold coast area know of a person looking for a non turbo skyline? Since moving to QLD i have gained my open license due to the different laws and am looking to upgrade to a turbo car.

Thanks in advance for any info that people can provide.

Hey mate,

1) would recommend just transferring rego, as it's a little easier. If you register as a new car, transport people sometimes come on look over the car, etc.

To transfer rego, you just basically have to get a RWC, go to a department of transport and transfer rego.

Registering as a new car, you have to get rwc as well, go to dept of transport, but they may want to check over your car. only difference

2) no idea about gold coast pannel beaters, sorry

3) chuck your n/a skyline up for sale. should get a few looks due to the new laws, and they seem to be keeping their prices really well.

Thanks PWND,

Can i get a RWC done at any mechanic or only specialised shops?

Is this a comprehensive check of the car, or just brakes, seatbelts etc?

[PWND]

you will have to check with the shop whether they can do a rwc. not all shops do it

it's a semi comprehensive check of the car. the basics, tyres, electrics, lights, brakes etc. there are a few places in bris that i could recommend, but not really familiar with coast mechanics.

Hey m8 if your looking for a good panel beater / spray shop down the southern end of the gold coast check out Currrumbin Paint and Panel they have won many awards for the paint jobs and i used to work for them would have to rate them as one of the best on the gold coast
