Hey all..

I'm buying a 2nd skyline.. a R31 as a run about.. Now the guy is selling it unregistered and plates removed, although the rego is just about to expire. Don't worry I don't think this guy is dodgy (its another forum and he's active on there for a while).

Now I was just wondering. What do i need to prove transfer of ownership? There is a standard transfer form, but that seems to be for transferring a vehicle that already has registration and a safety certificate. Which this won't.

When the time comes, as I understand it I just go in with a CTP slip, a valid safety certificate, pay the rego+stamp costs, and they will be able to issue me new plates and away i'll be able to drive? yes? no?

I have a written receipt from him, will that be enough down the track to state I bought the car when i go do the above? Or do I need anything else?

Just hoping somebody on here who has bought older cars might be able to help me out, as I'm not fully familiar with how the system works up here.

cheers

All you need is this.

RWC, Rego Application Papers, Drivers Liscence, Recipt and thats realy all, You also must bring the car down for inspection. Make sure there is no oil around the motor as they dont look at you very well when there is and may ask a few questions. I do this all the time for work.

Thanks Evo. They actually inspect the car after you already have a safety certificate? damn -- i thought QLD had the slackest inspections in Australia :rofl: How are you meant to get it down to a transport office also if its not currently registered, and therefore not meant to be driven? Oh well, once I have it all sorted and the safety certificate, shouldn't be too much of a drama I hope.

Thanx Glen. Let me know what you find.

Go to any suncorp and got to the main desk ask about insurance for a 1 day pass then go to QLD transport and get the pass you have to show that you have got the insurance for that day also. they dont give it a full inspections they just make sure it is the right car like all the numbers match up thats all. Thats why I said make sure there isnt any oil around so they can see the engine number and they dont have to clean it cos if they have to clean it normaly means there is an oil leank thats all.

IM GLAD TO HELP BYZ. NOW FOR BED :ufo:

When I did the mini recently I got a tilt tray to take the vehicle to the workshop for the roadworthy, I knew it needed some work so it would be their for a while. Then when the roadworthy had been completed ran off to the nearest Suncorp and paid my CTP. This allows you to drive from the workshop to your nearest Transport Department where you can fill out the necessary forms, they inspect the car (although they didn't do mine last time, I think cause it was previously registered in my name they couldn't be bothered checking it again?) they give you plates and a receipt, off you go. Or same as EVO83 said!

Yeah I'm going through a similar thing at the moment...I'm selling my Twincam rolla unregistered (for next to nothing :) )as it runs out in April and I can't be arsed paying more rego on it. All you need to do is get a receipt to prove it was sold to you etc etc.....make sure you get a REVS check done too....or you may be buying a loan to pay off too. It doesn't hurt to go to a police station and check ownership of the car...whether it's been reported stolen.

Don't worry. I have enough information I think posted above.

While I'm here, for anybody buying a car its always a good idea to do a REVS check to ensure there is no outstanding finance on the vehicle: 07 3246 1599 -- you can do it on the phone as well if you have a c.c. Here is further info.

You will need one (an engineers) to get it re-registered basically unless the transport department is napping. So if the previous owner doesn't have one, you'll have to pay for it.

Anyhow, i now have another skyline sitting at home :) can't wait to get it on the road. Might even push 90rwkw with the couple of mods its got. Shall see!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
