Hi guys,

Just say u bought an import and it landed at melbourne. Now i was thinking of getting it complianced and registered there for 1900. (as compared to NSW which is 2900). What i found out when ringing the RTA tech guys was that I if i was to being it up here and get it registered here in sydney.

They would treat it as if the vehicle just got off the boat (engineers cert/green slip/blue slip/weigh bridge..etc would have to be done again) even thou it came from melbourne and plus the engineer cert might not be recognized up here unless listed on the RTA site. :bs!:

U get the money u paid for rego and that in VIC back.

But what would u guys do in this situation?OR have any of you had done the above?..Im actually trying to save quite a lotta mula. But the prob here might be the engineers cert not being recognized.

Cheers

Cef

I bought my car in QLD and it was registered with QLD plates when I took possession of it last year.

I let the rego expire and had the plates confiscated by the cops so I needed to get it registered with blue slip the works.

I went to a blue slip place, provided the compliance certificate from QLD along with Reciept of purchase. They did the blue slip. I went to the RTA and treated it as if I was just transferring rego from another state.

Not sure if this helps, I didnt' have to get the car re-complied in NSW cause it allready had the green plate on it.

I got the same bullshit story when I asked about buying a car from VIC.

If you get it rego'd in Victoria then you'll have to get a NSW blue slip, CTP and then pay a transfer of rego fee plus I think you may have to pay stanp duty as well (3% of the value of the vehicle)

I think that's all

Ok ive decided to bugger doing vic thing now gonna have to pay stampy duty, blue slipy yada yada when it gets here.. all again.. the headaches running around, missing work gonna give me the shits. :D

All i have to say is in NSW registering a car is tough. While other states its so cheap and easy. (I know all the regulations and shit like that but doesnt mean I have to like it)

Thanx anywayz guys.

:D

cef

is not a hassle, but if your gonna comply the car you might as well get it complied here in sydney, but if you but a car from vic then its easy to get it registered in sydney, blue slip, pink slip, green slip, stamp duty and rego, thats it.

i cant wait for september ... hehe good ol 15 year rule .... other than that i hate dam compliancing . what a crap fight that is with the dockies and the rta and the compliancing buro... bblablablabla...... ohhhh getting a head ache....

unless you know your stuff you cant save heeps on importing one yourself ... my mate imported a GT-R and he only made 2 grand on top of what he sold it for ....

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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)
