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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
