why waste money making the car street legal if you only use it at the track?

Because it's f**king awesome?

I drive my ceffy everywhere. engine conversion, shocks, fmic, low as shit, will have a half cage with lots of sponsor decals very soon. it will still be daily driven after that.

It's either man up and mod permit your car (with the advantage of full comprehensive insurance), or let your wrists flop and get a trailer and tow hack

Before this breaks into a another Royale of retards vs Ceffy drivers, lets settle this nicely.

This guy has two options depending on his income:

Register all the mods legally and no stress

Buy a trailer and tow it

or option c: just keep driving it as it is!

ffs is not that hard, if you get yellow then oh well hand the plates in and get a trailer.

your mods don't have to be legal to have full comprehensive insurance just means that won't be cover in an accident.

and yes i do agree its f**king awesome to drive a track shitter on the street, because what better way to get around then a fuel hungry, attention grabbing car

Yeah but the day will come when it gets a yellow sooner or later, so might as well trade the plates in and get an ass hauling rig.

THAT makes life easier when you blow something up at the track and need to drag it home, tow trucks arent cheaper than your own trailer.Not to mention you can have more obvious work done to your track car, ie weld in cages, screamer pipes, straight through exhausts, etc.

Anybody serious about drifting / track cars is on DriftWA, not here, which is why alot of you guys are going to get massacred trying to make sense.

your mods don't have to be legal to have full comprehensive insurance just means that won't be cover in an accident.

if your mods ARE legal, then they are covered. AND are legal. so you won't get stickered. legally.

not sure what answer you're looking for. my answer is - nothing. at all. ever.

and they're not that fuel hungry if you stay off boost. which is something us responsible, respectable hoons can do quite well.

lol im not looking for an answer i guess you miss my point. way off topic as it is, so no point saying anymore.

btw my shitter comment wasn't directed at your car, just what i use

my points have been made, and still mega on topic. topics are b-class registration vs mod permits vs de-rego and tow it around.

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?

But when the cops pull you over, and see your car IS registered.. they could just sticker it anyway.

Just drive it man. If you get a sticker and don't want to make the car street legal then hand the plates in.

PS. Does anyone know, if you get a sticker and just want to hand the plates in.. does it cost you anything? Or do you just go hand in the plates, and take the yellow off yourself?

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

cheers !!!

i get towed to drift practice/comps by my mate... but im looking to get one of those year long permits (costs just under $50) so i can take the 32 to No Limits (a CAMS scrutineered event), due to the fact i dont need to bring spare tyres, jacks etc to No Limits.

but yeh, if i cant get 3rd party insurance (not the one with regos) for the 32 when its on permits, then theres no point driving on the road

If you go to a Licensing centre to get a permit, they will need either the plate number or Eng/Vin # and the records will show up the the vehicle is rego'd, so your best bet is to either put in on a car trailer to get it there or drive it there very carefully.

As long as the vehicle is rego'd and it is "road legal" or "roadworthy" as the police would say, then you will be fine.

So, you can't get a permit for the car coz it's rego'd :D

Whenever you purchase a temporary permit, you have 48hours in which the permit is active, however the permit is only valid if you are driving to/from where you have written down on the permit.

With regards to 3rd party insurance on rego and permits - if you are at fault in a motoro vehicle accident, your car is rego'd and your driver's licence is valid, and you injure another person in the accident, then the gov't 4rd party insurance covers the cost of personaly injury only. As i'm sure most of you are aware, 3rd party insurance for damage to private property etc is only through private insurance companies.

SKYRYAN - If you get a yellow sticker and want to de-register your car, you just hand in the number plates and take the sticker off yourself. It doesn't cost anything. If there is any remaining registration on the vehicle when you hand in the plates, you can fill in a Vehicle Licence Refund Form and get a cheque for the amount of rego remaining.

You still have to take it over the pits to re-register it though....

i dont know why this thread is still going, was answered ages ago.

basically- he's scared to drive it on the road,

asked about moving permit- they are for unrego'd cars only- he says "i want to keep it rego'd"

there u go.

frankly i dont know what the problem is, says its basically stock with some interior removed and big stickers.

even if got a yellow sticker it wouldnt be hard to get it off.

also, if thats the specs of a 'drift car'-does anyone know of a skyline on the road that wouldnt fall under that category?

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
