Hi everyone,

As topic said, I want to transport my Nissan Dualis from Perth to Brisbane.

If anyone can input some information, that would be great (With license, rego, etc.).

FYI, I might be moving to Brisbane for work for indefinitely in the next 2-3 months. :( (I will miss you guys)

Thank you.

i have done the vic - perth then back again.

Cant speak for the QLD rego system but here you provide 12+ months of ownership and they transfer it on the spot without a pits check. May have the same set up there?

I have used CEVA (use to be TNT) for my transport but there are heaps of companys out there (most removels companys will do it along with your belongings). Keep in mind that a Dualis will cost a bit more being a '4X4' and sits on the upper deck of the train carrage. Thats either good or bad depending on how you look at it, more chance of a rock hitting it but my car was on the lower deck and it was covered in brake dust/dirt by the time it got here.

Also if its just for a shord time to start with then most states let you stay on you current rego for about 3 months before you 'have to change it over'.

Hope that helps

Thanks, Null.

I just bought the Dualis last December so it won't be a year when I transport it. I am just worried rego transfer and pit check is not much hussle. It's stock so would be fine. The price doesn't matter, as my company is going to handle that, along with my belongings.

Another thing just came in mind, I am putting on my personal plate onto Dualis. Will that be gone if the car gets its rego transfers?

Thanks again.

Again dont know the QLD system but if you do have to do their version of the pits then its not too bad just takes time i guess.

Our Rav had personal plates on it (Vic) and no you dont get to keep them. We had the car for 5+ years with the plates so money wise its not a loss but if you just got your's then it will be. If the combonation is available i say you will be able to get them done in QLD but ofcourse you will have to pay again.

Let us know how you go VNS as Im looking into moving to brisbane also

Hi Chris, it should be exciting.

One thing for sure is everything is cheaper there. I was looking at renting houses online and I can get a good 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 car port house for AU$300-$400, which in Perth is quite impossible. Car prices are cheap, as well as food.

I should be going for training for a week soon, and will experience first hand how Brisbane city is. :)

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
