Ive recently moved from VIC to the gold coast and am wondering whats involved in getting my car registered in QLD.

My VIC rego runs out tomorrow :cheers:

Wondering how picky they are on a safety certificate, what i need to make sure is in good nick etc etc. Not sure if its much different from VIC and their RWC's.

And also anyone know someone i can go and see to get a "friendly" safety certificate as im keeping the car.

Thanks for any help/advice :(

RWC costs about $50 to get done. I'm not exacly sure on the process but im sure all you have to do is get a RWC then goto queensland transport pay for rego and they should issue you with QLD plates and you surrender your VIC ones. Give them a call before you go there and ask if there is anything else required. I'm sure its pretty straight forward.

MJ's pretty much right.

I swapped from VIC to QLD 6 months ago or so (not the skyline).

Get a RWC/SC, cost about $50.20.

Go to QT, hand in your plates, show em your SC, and they give you your new plates.

You can get a rebate on your VIC reg but I'd recommend against it apparently they apply 'fees' to that process.

I just waited till my VIC rego nearly ran out which was 11 months, your supposed to swap over the reg within 3 months but who's checking?

Unfortunately my rego has run out today.. :rofl:

I assume i can pay for a permit to drive it around to get it roadworthy yeh?

And also when going for the roadworthy, that 50 odd bucks, does that cover me to come back if i dont pass the first time around or do i have to cough up cash each time i go?

Thanks guys

When you do this, do they check over the car for um, "stuff" or is it just a swap plate job, e.g. would you have to remove some things. Its a while b4 i have to worry about that though.

Otherwise the SC thing sounds pretty much the same as VIC.

Not for me.

Just handed in the plates, gave em the SC, they give you new plates and your away.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
