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.

      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.

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
