Need some help.

Im looking at buying a gtr from interstate.

Its going to be a track only car.

Now I have a few questions.

1. Seeing as its a track car I wont be taking it over to regency or paying transfer fees to change the car to my name, so how does it become into my name?

2. It has rego. I want to cancel it and get some cash back but again its not in my name and from interstate?

If anyone gets where im coming from and can give some advice that would be great

Not stalking honest Adam :)

Transfer of ownership is a must, even just for piece of mind. A signed document from the seller to the buyer is all that is really needed. (pay by bank check too)

Registration isn't.

Even if you wanted the transfer of ownership officially recorded at a Govt agency , as you will never be making an insurance claim, I expect the buy price is "negligible" if you get my Drift............

Cheers

Getting a rego refund will depend on which state it's coming from. Son bought a Vic car a few years ago, we handed the Vic rego plates in here (any ServiceSA office), got a receipt for them, then filled out a Vic form (downloaded from their website) and sent the form & number plate receipt back to Vic rego & got a refund on 6 months worth of rego a few weeks later. Bought a car from NSW a few months ago for my wife, and it had a couple of months rego left. Looked into getting a refund, but in NSW I had to pay a fee to put it in my name first (didn't have to pay stamp duty there though), then another cancellation fee, before I could get a refund. Worked it out & I would have got about $20 back, so didn't bother. Changed it to SA reg & handed the NSW plates in here. If the NSW rego was for a longer period I would have arranged with the PO to cancel it & share the refund, but I needed the rego for a few days to get the car home. Not sure how the other states work - Vic & NSW are the only ones I've bought from.

Registering the car here at a later date would be the same as bringing any interstate car in - just the ID check at Regency. I believe if you turn up for the ID check with obvious defects they will send you for a full Regency check - once you've made the track car decision it would be hard to go bck & get rego. I'd keep a record of the interstate rego number & previous owner's details just in case.

Registration isn't proof of ownership. If you don't want to register it you don't have to do anything with TransportSA (or whatever they are called this week). Make sure you get a proper receipt for the purchase, including the PO's name & address - that will be your proof.

Ok sort of on the same lines.

Im buying a defected car non regod.

What paper work should i see to make sure its not stolen?

Or what should i get signed? Just a reciept i write up etc?

I think a REVS check shows ownership, history and any issues with finance or if it has been reported stolen etc! We did one recentlly and for $30 or whatever it was worth doing!

What used to be Revs is now PPSR - Personal Property Securities Register - and you can run a check at http://www.ppsr.gov.au/Pages/ppsr.aspx (although it's down at the moment). Cost is minimal - $3.70 or something, paid by credit card. It's a national database now, rather than state based.

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
