transfer it, then 28days for RWC before reg is suspended, i assume you lost the RWC, as it is illegal for a car to be sold without one.

editing for others reference: if car is unregistered, the only time limit you have is the expiration of unreg vehicle permits, and RWC's. you dont need to transfer an unreg car as such, just reg it in your name, providing a receipt for the purchase. You make an appointment at vicroads, take in receipt, RWC, anything else they need then fingers crossed you drive away with plates on.

well no, it was sold without REGO or RWC and i had one of those permit things to drive it home and also to the mechanic etc..

so i can just go transfer it now, and when it is rwc i can get that and also rego done?

By the sounds of it since it was not sold with a RWC and you purchased it UNREG you will have to start the process again.

Get a RWC for the car within the 28 day allowance and then Register it, shouldnt have a problem if you do that.

I purchased a car in VIC last yr and had the hassle of bringing it to NSW and I learnt through that process that neither states communicate in any way with registration. NSW don't accept VIC roadworthy's and such and so on.

I had to basically register the car as if it was unroadworthy and unregistered. Time consuming and costly... Good luck with it mate.

yeah it is very time consuming! because i work all day its hard for me to get to vicroads on time!!

i was just worried, coz i thought i had to transfer it within 14 days even if it has no rego/rwc..

thanks for all the info :P

+1, nice n easy. Just more tedious than anything prolly. Though they will have different laws to be observed when on the road.

though you will need to renew ur permit for an unreg vehicle to drive it places for rwc unless u plan on trailering it.

As you didnt purchase it with REG - It means nothing now.

Essentially you could take 6 months to get it registered and VicRoads will not care.

The 14days ONLY applies for cars with REG

+1 for this. As Nismoid said, because the car was sold with no registration you can take as long as you want in getting a RWC as there is no Rego to be transfered. The only thing you need to worry about is permits that expire so you can drive the car to and from mechanics and vic roads. However you do need to get the vehicle registered within the 28 days of getting your RWC as they expire.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
