A friend of mine went back to China and left his car and key with me. He couldn't find the certificate of registration. Would it be possible for me sell it privately or to a dealer? it's a 91 model bluebird, i don't care how much i get as long as i can get rid of it.

thanks

Get him to write a letter that you can act on his behalf for all registration related purposes for the car because of his situation. Then you'll be able to obtain rego papers by going in with the letter. Just make sure he cites his lic no, card no and address as it is on his license.

+1, kinda what I meant with my post, or possibly an email to them, etc. But this works well, in writing is a lot more effective.

Yep Joe is right,

the certificate is on the back of your rego papers. When your selling a car, you have an option of either using the certificate, or writing your own letter (as a seller to the buyer)

But I'm fairly sure the letter must be signed by both the seller and the buyer.

I've transferred a car into my name before at the RTA without rego papers. As long as you have a signed receipt with VIN and engine numbers and the licence plate number, and its dated and signed it should be fine :P

got 5c here in my deep pocket (but with short arms, it's hard to reach)

PM me with your address and i'll be over in a sec.

on 2nd thought, don't listen to my alter-ego :P - the above suggestions are far more constructive

hey, you can just go down to the RTA with the Vin number /engine number, rego plates , name of the car owner , so just proof that you have the car and details of it and they should be able 2 give u a rego sheet its a photo copy of the last rego sheet , i had to do it when i bought my car mechanic needed tare weight and that and it was on rego sheets and i didnt get them when i bought it so went to rta and told them what happened and showed them proof and they photo copied it.. hope that helps

I went to RTA, they just gave this "reapplication for registration form", saying that I must get the owner to sign it

but the things is that the owner is not in this country, he is not Australian citizen, doesn't have Australian license.

I am just going to call one of those "unwanted car" ad

It won't matter if this owner is not an australian citizen. Lots of o'seas students own cars here.

If you know the owner's address, you need to send him the "Reapplication for registration" form to sign.

Then, he sends it back to you.

After you get a replacement "Registration" paper, you can send it back to him to sign the "notice of disposal"

Then, he sends it back to you.

You can fill out the rest and take ownership yourself (with his permission, I presume).

Then, you can sell it for him for about $2900.

If you don't know the owner's address, you can part it out, or PM Matt aka MBS206 above.

if it hasnt cost you anything and you dont want it just get someone to take it away, they have adds in the local paper, they might even give you 100 for it or if its really shitting you off then just park it somewhere with the keys in it, its not yours you have no responsibility for it, this guy obviously doesnt want it so why so much hassles, give it in for scrap

    • Trail braking done right, should have the rear unsettled, such that you're actually turning the car by a noticeable amount WITH the brakes, and hence noticeably less steering input.
    • No you don't. Just no more driving in the wet, and clean your window manually before you drive
    • I'm not sure if they tick your boxes, but Haltech would be my pick. I'm an Adaptronic guy from way back, and Haltech acquired Adaptronic to basically get Andy, AND his IP on how he does things like fuel modelling etc.
    • Just on this, as there's a huge issue in your assumption Dose.   The logic you've given, is the same logic old school NA guys give for "needing back pressure" in an exhaust. If you free up an exhaust system, and keep injecting the same fuel in etc, at the same timing, you'll typically drop power. Freeing the exhaust will often make an engine want a little bit more timing, and even sometimes a little more fuel, but then it'll make even more power.   There's many mods people do and "get no extra power" when running a comparison on the same tune. Imagine a car tuned for 91, but now we say put 98 in it, see no difference. But as we now have 98 fuel, you can run more timing, and make more power, as the 91 was knock limited.   So just be very wary in your claim of "don't retune it and do a back to back and you'll see". The correct approach would be tune the car with stock manifold, swap the manifold to aftermarket, and retune it again. But no one wants to do that, and all the results we get are "this was stock, and this is manifold changed and tuned" and people put it all down as just the tune doing it.
    • Unplug ECU. Unplug TPS. Unplug boost pressure sensor. Now, all the wires, placing your ground (black) multimeter lead at the ECU end, measure resistance of the 5V line at the boost sensor plug. Then do the same to the TPS plug. Then do the same for all the other wires that relate to the TPS, or boost sensor.   All of your measurements should be very very low. You're looking to see if wiring is out of wack here.   Secondly, from memory on the R33 (not a neo motor, so I'm assuming an r34) the ground wire for the TPS and boost sensor are NOT equal to ground of the car/battery. IE, DO NOT connect ground of the sensor to the engine/body of car. You'll get a ground loop, and/or potentially screw shit up. In electronics, ground for a circuit, is not necessarily equal to ground of another circuit.   So this leads me to ask, when measuring your 5V, how are you getting 1.5V? Where are your multimeter leads touching for both the red and black lead on the multimeter?   If you're measuring power on the sensor wire, and putting ground on the car chassis or negative battery terminal, that could be all of your issues in "getting 1.5v". Electronics engineers can do some funky stuff with circuits, and when both sensors are on, it's enough laid to alter how the ECU is functioning.
