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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
