Transfer Of Vehicle - Act

Hi guys,

Recently bought a repairable write off skyline without knowing it cannot be registered in ACT because of new laws as of May 2012 stating that any car after this date that isn't currently registered in ACT or written off in ACT can not be registered/transferred here.

It can still however be registered in any other state. (NSW/VIC etc)

My question is because the vehicle hasn't officially been transferred into my name (still running off NSW rego) am I able to on sale ; Write over the current car owner's name (my name) on the transfer/rego papers and put the new purchasers name onto the papers?
I have tried to look into this but I'm not really sure whether or not this is the best option - or if it is legit?

Previously my friend have said they have done this a few times as they have purchased a car they have decided they haven't wanted within 2-4 weeks to avoid all fees.

I would of course provide a receipt of sale for the new purchaser.

The other way around this is using this above technique if it is valid, to transfer it into my mother's boyfriends name (whom of which is of NSW residence) and have him register it in NSW before selling it. (making it a proper valid sale)

I just want to get rid of this car, because I need to have a car that can be registered in the ACT.

Also to get a car registered in NSW will it need anything like it does in the ACT? (Like an RWC?)

Any questions/thoughts/answers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Honestly I'm not sure, though what I can offer is some anecdotal evidence that something along the lines of what you're suggesting is possible.

My first Skyline was stolen and written off (repairable write off) before I'd transferred rego into my name. It was still registered in NSW at the time. When I sold the 'wreck' of the car to the new owner, I provided him with the NSW rego/transfer papers filled out for myself, as well as providing him with a written receipt for the vehicle I was selling him.

This was well before whatever law you're speaking of though.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
