Hey Guys

Firstly, this isn't about a dodgey buyer or anything. Money isn't the problem (Sorted already)!

A nice young fellow (Like myself! :D) has just purchased my car from interstate.

He arrives in Brisbane on the 3rd of March (to live here) but currently has family living here. After reading the transfer of registration papers, it doesn't seem to out of the way to have his family come and pick-up the car rather than me waiting 3 weeks. He said he doesn't mind either way. But I would much prefer for things to move along a bit faster because we need to sort out our new car as well.

This is what I have planned in my head.

1. Receive a signed document from him stating he wants XXXXX to pick-up the car on his behalf and store it at their own choice of location. At which that point the car is no longer my responsibility or under my ownership.

2. Make the receipt for the buyer stating the usual details about the car being sold. State that the car is being pick-up by XXXX (above) person on behalf of the buyer. Usual details.. car/date/time etc..

3. XXXX comes and picks up the car. Stores it at their own home for the buyer.

4. Once the buyer arrives in Brisbane, have him meet-up with me again to sign the registration papers. The buyer can then change official ownership of the rego.

Number 4 is the part that is worrying me. How long does the buyer have to change registration to his own name once the car is sold to him? I'm not so much worried about them taking a fine under my name etc... as I will have a signed receipt stating they purchased the car on this date @ this time.

OR

I have the above steps completely wrong and someone is willing to enlighten me :D!

I'll call up Dept. of Transport on Monday if no one is able to help... but being able to get organised during the weekend would be a big plus for me.

Thanks so much for your help guys,

Richie

You pretty much have you're bases covered good. Written record and signed is excellent.

If it is the same as Vic (which won't be because Vic is full of Jews) then you have 30 days from sale to re registration.

But isn't it only official once those sales papers have been signed or will that be signed prior to pickup?

Also, how old is the guy? Can't a family member register a car on you're behalf? I swear I've read it somewhere and I swear my mum did it for me when I was on deployment one time.

Different avenues to explore. Good luck and congrats

Thanks very much for your input mate!

He is 22. It does say that a family member can register the car, but it needs his signature on the same papers. That is why I have left it at step 4

To my understanding, the car is officially his once the receipt is signed. But the registration is still under my name. That said, to the QLD Government, I THINK, registration and ownership should not be the same. So I want him to "OWN" the car before he gets here in 3 weeks. Then, when he arrives, I'll happily sign the papers for registration. I am hoping this can be done...

I really appreciate your input.

yep, so the problem is no transfer of rego on the date you release the car can cause a whole lot of issues.

Lets say they run a red light camera and do 100kph through the Clem 7 and guess who gets the tickets?

A written document signed or not wont help, you need to sign and date the rego transfer papers the day the car drives away.

You keep one page which shows the date of release and who it was too, incase this very thing happens.

They then have 2 weeks to go to the transport dept to pay the transfer fee's.

Doing it any other way and your open to being bent over...

Just take his deposit and hold the car until he is ready to do it right...

Beat me to it.

Or he signs a Power Of Attorney form for his family member to sign all forms on his behalf.

This allows all paperwork and money payment to be expedited and then you can happily arrange your next car!

He can fill out a Power Of Attorney to be valid for just a certain window period if he wishes.

Hm, the power of attorney form looks surprisingly simple but he needs to be at the same location as whomever takes the power. I know he could also state "Power to help process registration of car to my name" so all that person can do is specifically that task on behalf of that person.

Problem with that is, that he will need to be at the same location as the new attorney as signatures are required from everyone...

:( not looking good :(

If the family here in bne is father/mother/gran then sell it to them, then when they transfer the registration over to him, they declare it a gift and no duty is payable, they only have to fork out for another safety certificate.

Let me guess, this guys name is Stewart, and he's from WA?

as said above by others, the big issue is with not having someones licence info on the transfer papers the day you hand the car over, so if they do something naughty you can't fully deny it was you (not in the same way you can with signing transfer papers properly).

when i bought a car off a mate a few years back, he was working away a few weeks at a time so his mum essentially bought the car. she filled out all her details on the rego form and registered the car into her name and then gifted it to my mate when he was next home. it is the simplest and safest thing to do from your point of view.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R

      So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
