Just a quick question, i know others are keen to find out about this also..

Ive got an R32 Drift Car, its not heavily modded or anything but it has a few aftermarket parts etc.. its covered in sponsorship graphics and has the interior 3/4 the way stripped

It IS still licenced for the road but i was wondering if id be able to get a permit to drive it to get work done on it, to avoid trouble with the police, yellow sticker etc etc..

Could i tell the licencing center its un registered to obtain a permit? or would they be able to give me one even tho the car remains licenced?

Anyone know anything about this let me know, bcoz i need work done on friday and im unable to tow the car, and its not a heck of a drive either.. i really wanna keep my car rego'd!!

thanx

lol! what your asking doesn't make sense.

if the car is rego you can drive it, but then run the risk of getting a yellow.

other option is to hand in your plates. apply for B-Rego which is a race class rego that allows you to drive to and from events and workshops BUT the car can not be driven anytime and if your caught driving you lose your b-rego

quick question

say you get permits / b-rego ... unregistered car. ..... is it possible to get insurance?

i'm not 100% sure but i think permits, b-rego will be class as the normal 3rd party for personally injury. with regards to property, i would say you would need to look a specialize insurer that does race cars

Hey, if your car is still registered then you can drive it anywhere. Its only when the cops pull u over or you don't pay rego on it that its illegal o drive it on road.

So just drive it nicely on the road to the events or workshops and it will be fine. Then once u have yellow/no-rego then inquire about the permits

Dont risk it with no plates - super dumb idea.

B-Class if you still can, some guys on DriftWA use temporary movement permits (you can argue there is a workshop right next to Barbagallo, but I'm sure cops will argue the misuse of those permits), or just fork out and tow it - motor sport isnt cheap.

** As a method of moving an unregistered car - temporary movement permits.

No point having a track car registered, it'll get stickered either way.

this is not 100% correct.

my mate has a track spec ae86 full cage, strip out inside fix back seats. no front indicators.

he was pulled over coming back from the drift practice cop ask him about his car explain it was his track car just keeps the rego as its easier to move it events etc and has a daily. cop could see he was being honest and said no problem just take it straight home then. and he was on his way.

why have a track car rego, because its cheaper to drive to events then tow the car

Erm.. Might I ask,

Why do you not just get modification permits for everything you've done?

If borneos freaking mad-dog ceffy could still be driven around happily, why can't yours?

It's not hard to comply with regulations dude. the stuff you can't comply with - legal with mod permits. suspension, engine mods, body mods, all that shit.

strreeeeettt leeeegaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll.

all well and good for your mate. not necessarily gonna happen in the same manner as this dude.

Yeah, with enough money, anything can be legally registered.

Borneo did have rego on his 31, but it was never on the road because it copped soo much attention. So even with nothing to worry about, you're still going to be pulling over frequently, so just buy a crumpledore with a towball and a trailer.

don't drive like a tool, only use the car to go to events or workshop and you limit the risk. why waste money making the car street legal if you only use it at the track waste of time and money, just take the risk and if/when the day comes that you do get a yellow hand in the plates, buy a trailer or look at b-rego

also my point about my mate was just because you drive it on the street doesn't mean you will get yellow etc

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
