I didn't notice at the time, but have noticed now that the rego papers for the R32 that I bought recently has 2002 on it for the year, whilst I know that it is a 1992. I am hopefully getting it reregistered very soon, but am wondering what is the possible ramifications of this error on my rego papers? None? Could it mean something crazy like voiding my green slip due to the wrong information? Will it be a beauracratic nightmare getting the RTA to look into it? Anyone one who has experienced something like this, advice on what to do about it very welcome.

Thanks.

I don;t think it matters generally.. I've heard of other cars having wrong details on the rego papers such as hamiltonau's R33 gtst being down as a R33 gtr v spec, as well as my r33 being a sedan on the rego papers when its a coupe.. I asked a lady at the RTA to change it and she was pretty much like 'meh, it doesn't matter'..

Hmmm yeah, just a different century.

I spent weeks trying to confirm this.

i have a 96 R33 with 2006 marked rego papers. I couldn't find anyone in the RTA or an insurance company to go "yes, you are valid AND insured".

I had 3 out of 5 RTA staff members hand me change of record documents "just in case" the others gave me the RTA hotline. (What can indians tell me the RTA Teller cant??) I probably spoke to about 15+ staff members at 4 or 5 different RTA's from blacktown to Nowra.

eventually i found a family connection to an RTA inspector that said that compliance dates need to be on the rego papers and the inurance co needs the actual manufacturing date.

the simple version is that RTA work on logs on appearance in their system and Insurance works on car details or something like that.... it was explained but is much more complicated than you'd think.

I have no doubt that it is insane and complicated when it shouldn't be, that's why I came here instead of straight to the RTA. I was at my mates' working on some panels today and I had a look at the compliance plate, and it was complied and registered the first time in 08/02 so I feel a bit better about it since those dates match up.

Fark that. If someone on the other end makes a mistake, I'm not going out of my way to change it.

Eg: ATO has my birthdate wrong by one day, and I'm not writing them a letter to fix the mistake they made.

Agree - Dont worry about chasing and changing it

Also in regards of ATO - I am 2 years older lol that's a mistake

When I first registered my R34, it was listed as being a 2011 Nissan Skyline R34 GT then I got a call the following day from the Manager of that RTA telling me that I needed to come in because the trainee didn't do it properly, she didn't even take a copy of the VIA, then they issued me with a new rego label and I had to destroy the one they f**ked up.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
