i let myself get into a similar bad position when I purchased my daily driver. owner signed the paper in a diff name. said it was his friends car and he just never bothered to transfer the ownership of the car. i paid him in cash and when i was asking for a receipt he kept making retarded excuses like he doesn’t have any paper around to write on.

i left thinking i shoulda just taken my cash and gone. registered it in my name at the rego dep the next day and nothings been said for the last 2 times ive registered it so im under the impression it was all legit. after seeing his crappy signature on rego paper and other bits he wrote im under the impression he didn’t have a pen license and was embarrassed to write stuff.

next time i think ill just take my money and find a different car. on the plus side it was a cheap car

just off the phone to transport sa (registration and license section )

explain i bought a car from interstate, have lost all papers and have no way of recovering them

he explained this will be no problem.

he basically said that the car will need to do the basic regency ID inspection.

and then i go around the corner to the registration place and fill out a form ( MR1 i think it is )

and pay the required fees and then car is in my name and sa rego.

cheers for the advice guys.

in the end everything is going to work out.

thats what i was thinking as he said it.

but if the owner was smart they would have reported it stolen, and it would come up as stolen on the database wouldnt it?

No offence, but given that you have no proof that you actually purchased the car, what's to stop the previous owner of your car doing the same thing to you?

thats it

i got "given" a car for my track project, got it as unrego'd and un-defected. didnt get any paperwork as he "couldnt find it". when i discovered it was defected (later discovered as a plate swap to his new car) i got given heat because i had no proof that the car was mine. Later it was agreed to that being a "verbal agreement" (ie he gave me the car for free if i picked it up") that the car was mine.

this however is different as you've paid for it. Sounds very dodgy, id be making sure you dont get burnt (especially if you go to the effort of id check / regoing it here)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
