As of 1/1/13 those fugly rego stickers can be ripped off - yes, even existing ones.

Until then, they need to stay on.

ACT guys have to keep theirs on until 1/7/13.

SA & WA guys are way ahead of us.

Birthday pressie from the ACT government - WoW

I agree peeps will leave them on for nostalga. Over time they will be collectors items

Nah, fugly means fugly!

I'd only keep it if I had an ADM GTR perhaps.

The downside of the absence of a sticker, might be when a car is dumped in your street with the plates removed.

How do you report its specifics then?

It just means that when HWP pulls you over, they'll already have...

a) in date or out of date rego details

b) owner details

c) address

Then when you're asked for your licence, you may be then asked...

i) if you're the person on this licence

ii) are you the registered owner (to determine if you're lying)

...and so on.

Stickers should be staying.

I don't care what they look like, they're "the norm"

While police setup an RBT station they always look for those stickers, you may not notice it, but they do. Now it's going to be harder for them to quickly identify unregistered cars.

Why should you be more concerned?

Well now it's going to be easier to get away with an unregistered car, meaning cars that can potentially hit your pride and joy, and wont be insured. People can more easily do a runner from an incident ecause the plates don't match the address to which the car really belongs, etc etc.

Once again a stupid move by RMS to just save more money.

How many registered cars in NSW/ACT? Factor a dollar to two dollars to prep and send each receipt. Yet we don't get a rego payment cut, and they sure as hell won't put more money into our roads either.

All ACT police now carry a Camera that process 6 cars a second.

No need for them to try see your rego sticker.

I agree though.

This excersise is more for revenue raising and redcuing human admin overhead !!

They are attempting to take pics of cars in the Club car parks so if they see you on the road in the next several hours they can pull you over.

It's being fought as an invasion of privacy by some but I expect the PC will let it pass...........

No longer will you actually have to be caught doing something wrong to be pulled over.

The sticker doesnt mean the registration is current so I dont see how that is a major issue. And if someone is going to do a runner with stolen plates I wouldnt expect them to stop and hang around for you to check out their sticker and vin.

Hi Terry,

Our family has 3 cars registered in December and 2 in November.... Does this mean I can remove the stickers on 1.1.2013?

I thought I'd need to keep them on till next year?

Cheers,

Bob.

Yes Bob, NRMA (which has me on their mailing list) made this announcement last week.

They quoted RMS as saying that it's optional after 1/1/13 for NSW Rego stickers to be on or off and thus, existing stickers can be removed.

Matt and I both have December Rego stickers. They of course will only remain on the glass for a matter of days. :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
