Hey All,

Just wondering if anyone owns or has applied for a registration exemption.

"A person who will only use the vehicle for designated motorsport activities may also apply for an exemption."

--> See RTA Link HERE

If you have, can you please tell me what was the process or conditions?

I am trying to make a decision wether or not to sell my car or keep it as a dedicated track car.

Cheers.

you need to look at that link again, it applies to re-registering a previously registered vehicle which was written off

"

Vehicles authorised for repair under the written-off vehicle reforms

New laws regarding the management of written-off vehicles applying to ALL NSW light vehicles up to 15 years old were introduced on 31 January 2011.

A light vehicle is a registrable vehicle that is 4.5 tonnes or less gross vehicle mass (GVM). Light vehicles include cars, trailers, caravans and motorbikes.

The registered vehicle operator (or owner if it's not registered) can apply to Roads and Maritime Services for an 'Authorisation to Repair a written-off vehicle' if the vehicle is:

  • in an exempt vehicle category and
  • is able to be repaired to legislated vehicle safety standards.

Exempt vehicle categories include:

  • Hail damaged
  • Inherited
  • Applicant was the registered operator for more than 28 days before damage occurred.

A person who will only use the vehicle for designated motorsport activities may also apply for an exemption."

As far as I am aware, there is no rego available in NSW for rally cars. I beleive the only option is to apply for an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP) every time you want to drive

Do you have a grandparent, a pensioner, who doesn't drive anymore?

That person is still legally able to own a car and thus register it for free. The limit is one car under RMS rules.

A green slip is still required though.

And then it's your call as to whether or not to insure the car and put yourself down as a nominated driver.

The grandparent would be best to will that car to you in the process or pre-sign the 'Notice of Disposal' with you as the 'Buyer'

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
