Hey guys,

I just got offered a job in Hobart and I'm moving down there from NSW in early July. This is the first time I have moved interstate and I'm pretty damn excited about the whole thing. I want to bring my car down at some stage but I don't know anything about doing this. Will I have to change the rego to tasmanian registration? I know I have to change my lisence over after 3 months.

Trying to work out if it would be easier just to sell there car here with NSW rego and buy something else down there.

Thanks

I bought my car from Melb and took it back here(Launnie) and had to get a roadworthy done then take that to service tas to get it regoed

pretty simple, i think if your car is ok up there it shouldnt be too bad here, although my car was pretty much stock.

i think you can also get your remaining rego back from NSW when you hand over plates and show proof of new rego,(receipt), thats what i did with the remaining 10 months on the melb rego

And I'll come to it........... if my car is going by then :( Bring it over man the more the merrier............. is that how you spell merrier or is it merryier.......... god knows anyway it's easy to get it roadworthied and swapped over. Most of the imports down here are from the mainland anyway ;)

Cheers for the info guys, pretty keen for a track day when I get settled in. Went down to Hobart 2 weeks ago and found a place to rent, really nice city and the food was great.

We drove to the top of mount wellington, holy shit it was freezing up there. Probably going to wait till summer to go back there again.

Going to take my car down this week and go over on the boat and bring all my crap with me and then I'm starting work on monday. Hopefully i'll see you guys at some trackdays in the future.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
