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

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
