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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
