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

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
