Hi Guys,

I'm from Victoria Melbourne and i'm selling a car to a guy in Perth.

I called VicRoads and they told me that i take the number plates out and hand them in when i sold the car.

When the car arrives in Perth, the guy just needed to get a temporary permit to drive the car way.

Also i needed to write a receipt for the guy stating how much i sold the car and when i sold the car.

Now the guy in Perth called me and told me that the number plates have to come with car, otherwise he cant drive the car away from the depot.

Even with the temporary permit, as police will pull him over and fine him.

I just wanted to know is this true?

As with the temporary permit, the guy in perth can drive the car to the workshop and get RWC then drive the car to Pit to get rego.

Any help will be appreciated!

Hey mate,

Doesn't require the plates, when it gets here he pays for a temporary movement permit ($14 last time i did it), then all he needs to provide to the DPI is vin and a description of the car. He has to have a copy of the permit or the permit number with him in case he gets pulled over. And that's that :nyaanyaa:

No plates required :(

Cheers

If the vehicle IS registered, he needs the plates.

He gets the car, introduces it to WA road standards, takes it to pits, registers it HERE and SWAPS the plates.

You fill out an interstate transfer of ownership form (like any form transfering rego and ownership).

If the vehicle is NOT registered, hand the plates in as they should have been already.

Write the guy a statutory declaration confirming he owns the car legitimately, when he bought it, how much for, chassis / vin number, engine number, condition, etc.

He gets temporary movement permit.

Introduces it to WA standards.

Registers it and receives WA plates.

With Stat. Dec. if you weren't the last owner who had the car registered, don't bother. There is a form on the DPI website, you fill out and they do their own investigation, to make sure it wasnt stolen and car came into his possession legally...or if you want, you can get 2+ stat. dec. from every owner between "last registered owner" and current owner.

Just get him to de-register it and the licencing centre in Vic will take his plates.

All you need for a permit in perth is VIN number if you don't have plates.

I had no dramas doing this a couple of months ago.

Just make sure you give the guy in perth a previous registration paper and/or the de-registration paper for the pits and of course a reciept or statement mentioning the date and price.

Okay guys,

So i'm going to de-register it and hand in the number plates to VicRoads in Victoria.

Then drive the Car to the truck depot, then truck the car down to Perth.

The buyer in Perth have to get a permit with the VIN number and pick up the car.

I also needed to write a receipt for him mentioning the date and price + photocopy for the previous registration paper and/or the de-registration paper.

Are these all i needed to do?

We just took an interstate purchsed S15 over the pits last friday for a customer, on our dealer plates. When we got the car, the customer had already taken it over the pits once and had a list of things to do. I am not sure if he handed in the plates at that time or if they were handed in before trucking to Perth. Either way, as long as you have proper de-rego papers, I don't see a problem.

Sorry Nic A31 but you are giving incorrect advice.

It is against the law for anyone, but the owner of the vehicle (who ever's name is on the vic roads rego papers), to drive a car in a state other than where it is Registered.

Therefore, there is no point in leaving the plates on the car.

As it has been said already, the dude from perth needs to buy a temp move permit for the car before he goes to the depot so that he can drive it home, or to a workshop or where ever so he can get it prepared for the pits.

Ive brought an r33 gtr over from Adelaide not too long ago so i know that this is the way it has to be done.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
