you had a dream last night didn't ya sid? hangin for a line i see :D

correct me if im wrong guys but as far as registration goes, i beleive it has to be NSW plates unless you fully unrego the vehicle and somehow truck it down to Melbourne get the RWC and register it under VIC?

Well this may or may not be helpful information. But my last car was SOLD interstate to a guy from Adelaide. Now what we did was a risk to him if he decided to drive stupidly.

I cancelled my registration on my car but didnt hand in the plates (basically if you cancel your registration you get a refund on your remaining rego. But you only get the refund when you hand your plates back. However if you dont hand your plates back for a month or more from when you cancel your rego you still get the full allotted refund)

So I cancelled my rego - let him drive back to Adelaide with my cancelled plates on so he could do everything he needed without trucks etc - then he sent me the plates back in the mail. It all worked fine for everyone... but it only happened cause I was a nice bloke who did the guy a favour, and because the guy driving with cancelled plates didnt drive in a manner to draw attention to himself.

Thats the easiest way if both parties are good.

I was going to buy a skyline from NSW so i investigated this a while back. I was going to fly up, buy the car, get proof of purchase, drive down to vic.

Then hand the NSW plates in to Vicroads, they give the registed owner the refund (the old owner), then you have to get a Vic RWC and get new rego. So its still registered to the old owner when you drive it interstate, but as long as you have proof of purchase you can hand the plates in yourself.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
