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.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
