Hey mate,

Just to help you out, you could unregister it and then send it down to Melbourne but be warned, if the guy then goes to the Vic Roads and the people there don't know really what they are doing they might ask him for the import approval and the Consumer Information Notice (CIN).

The only way you'll keep the plates though is if you de-register the car in NSW, and then ship it down and the guy down in Melbourne can get a permit to drive it to the Vic Roads office.

Hey guys,

If I sell my car to Melbourne from Sydney, what needs to be done?

I have current NSW plates which I want to keep, so do I just go to the RTA and get my car un registered?

Does the buyer from Melbourne then get a day pass to drive to melbourne unregistered?

Once he is in Melbourne, what does he need to do to get the car registered?

Thanks for any help.

what on earth is a CIN?

he's got an R34 GTR, which means its complied under RAWS, which is a federally recognised compliancy scheme, unlike the state based one in place for shitty old 15 year bangers.

you shouldn't have any problems registering the car in VIC if it has a compliance sticker and VIN number on the chassis. RWC has to be VIC issued, not from NSW so there's no point.

you'll need a day permit in both NSW and VIC to drive the car down as one will not cover you in both states.

You can simply ...

i) put your plates into storage and get replacement ones (to keep the car registered)

ii) swap plates with a family member @ $22/swap ie. $44 to RTA and take with you the 2X Certificates of Rigistr'n

Price has probably gone up per swap methinks (since I did it).

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
