Hey guys im thinking of buying a r34 from NSW. The guy initially bought the skyline from Melbourne

HKS bolt on turbo

Apexi N1 pod

Nismo fly wheel

3.5' full except dump which is stock

hks front adjustable coilovers

koni rear coilovers/shocks

Cusco rear sway bar

when the guy bought it from Melbourne he had to get a engineer certificate to get the car register in NSW, so now when i need to get this registered back in Victoria do i need to get any engineer certificate or anything?

do i just need a roadworthy certificate and just take it to vicroads and register it??

does vicroads also inspect the car?

and one last thing, most the mods above are unroadworthy is that right?

any help would be much appreciated, cheers

Depends on your luck if vicroads will look through the car and depends how much the guy checking knows. But I know when vicroads to check skylines there getting on top of coilovers now and mainly cut hole for intercooler so thats something to keep in mind other than that I would put the stock airbox if you have a cooler.

Your turbo and pretty much everything you listed has to be swapped for stock. Vicroads will inspect any vehicle being brought in for initial registration...ie. Anything not already registered in Victoria. The only real legal modification is a pod provided you haven't also changed the intercooler.

nor me or the seller has any stock parts, wat if i get a appointment at a vicroads in the bush where no one has ever seen a skyline... like lylidale areaish haha

ive registered plenty of VIV vehicles and all they check is the engine number that's it.

Viv is different. You're not bringing in a car from an entirely different state. They have a full history of Victorian repairable write offs up to the point where the write off was entered.

For the record, lilydale tmu are well trained, so why wouldn't the vicroads who have to put up with all their canaries be as well?

Don't be an idiot about it im just giving you the honest truth. All of those items are defectable and unroadworthy. If you find someone to do a dodgy rwc and then they inspect the car and see all that shit on there not only will they tell u to gtfo and pay another booking fee when you come back, you'll get your mechanic in shit for providing a fraudulent document.

They went over my currently registered skyline with a fine toothed comb for a height defect. How do u think they're going to react to what is essentially a foreign car to them?

Stop kidding yourself and be realistic.

nsw engineers certs mean as much to vicroads as nsw roadworthies.

f*ck all.

IF for some reason they let it past on an engineer's, itd have to be victorian. but buckleys chance on that too usually. cuz they'll just send you an EPA. and you cant tell them its ok that your emissions are higher than everybody elses cuz some guy in a workshop said it was safe to drive.

welcome to victoria, where registering, insuring, and in general owning a car is the most painful experience known to man.

i just swapped a mazda rx4 from sydney to vic reg car had a nsw engineers report for a ford 9 inch disc brake diff,series 5 turbo engine and change of front brakes.....i didnt even have to take the car there

I bought my car from qld. Fuel rail, injectors turbos, exhaust power fc, cam gears etc etc and they didn't even want to look at it. Just call up, tell them you bought a car from nsw and ask whats needed to be done..they most likely won't check it unless its been in an accident before or was a defect machine in melbourne

in my experience,

if you can keep it Regoed in NSW, Get a Vic RWC attend Vicroads and Transfer the NSW rego to Vic rego. (Give them the NSW plates)

Job done.

we just did it with a VIV registered 34 and that was the advice from Vic roads,

Yep, exactly what happened with me :)

Yeah its not as hard as people think

Cass you had a defect its completely different to an interstate transfer

Of course they will go over the car when u take it to vicroads clearing a defect

Also depends on what vicroads you go to and who's working there. I've been defected twice for height and once for tyres. They only ever checked the car once and that was for tyres. My most recent was height in the gtr, guy at vicroads basically said the cops were kents for giving me a major just for height. He then he stamped it and i went on my way, didn't check it at all.

also, when we got my first car which was unregistered they also had to inspect it. from what i was led to believe at the time they did, do or can treat an interstate car the same way

my boyfriend took my car to Burwood when it gone done with a major for height given theyre usually pretty lax about checking it. they also sympathised at having a major put on for height. but said to him, they dont need to check the car for a major defect. unless its for height.

hmmm very interesting on different experiences. Im transferring my license to south australia o be able to drive it on my p plates and going to keep the nsw plates on it for a while and before it expires ill just get the plates to transfer to melb. :D

and oh did i say i use to own this car before in melb

Hey mate I bought a modded GTR (turbo, injectors, fuel pump, ECU etc) from NSW a year or so ago. it still had NSW rego, so all i needed to do was to get a RWC and then just hand the details into VicRoads, because it was already registered under NSW they basically just swapped the details over and there was no need for an inspection. I was also worried I would get reamed if it was to go through an inspection but all was fine.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
