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 ....

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
