Possibly a very easy question but never dealt with defects before.

Bought an unregistered car with a red sticker. The paper work that came with it didn't have any of inspection stations ticked for example AIS, AUVIS, etc

The only thing ticked was: Full inspection and Light vehicle

As the car's rego has lapsed, it will need a blue slip. Is that all is needed to get the car on the road now?

A lot of people can do the inspection http://autocollective.com.au/category/defects/what-to-do/ - this page suggests looking here for people who can do it http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?fuseaction=inspectionstation.form But, I think this is only for a e-safety check (pink slip)



Infact ( & this is just a free plug), just last night a bunch of us where down at Japlink / JLM in Rydalmere for a SAU members tech night to talk about engineering certs,compliance & more.

Great set of guy's, super friendly and will tell you straight up what you need to do and will try to help you as much as possible if they can. Try giving them a call.

Number on their website is 02 97160857

what type of car?

if it is a grey import(im assuming it is), you can no longer get them cleared at pink slip stations(ais).

they all have to go to a blue slip(auvis) station to be cleared.

so, either way, its getting a blueslip.

as mentioned, just had the tech night at japlink, great bunch of guys, and can do blueslips ;)

so, if its more convenient at a place near your work, so be it.

be sure to write a letter with your name, lic number, car vin, leaving from, going too, reason, and expected times if youre driving.

rms states you can drive for rego purposes, cops think you should tow it.

Red defect + Unregistered.

Yeah, I'd be towing it to, especially to be able to get it to a place that will look after it more like JLM.

Hypothetically speaking, What if I were to remove my plates? Cops won't know the car is red stickered and I can say I'm driving to the nearest blue slip place, which I am, to get it rego'd

According to this link: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/unregisteredvehicles/index.html there shouldn't be a problem

The car is reverted back to stock, it's no longer a defect, according to me anyways.

This is also correct! you may drive to the closest inspection station (to your home address)

To drive an unrego'd car you need to obtain a permit. No registration is no registration.

You won't be covered if you hit any car or person. Paying the tow fee or rental fee for a trailer will be cheaper n safer.

My understanding of the ,drive to the nearest station for a slip, is for pinks only. It's for cars just out of rego who still have the 3 mouths to get a pink slip. That's when you can shoot up the road to get a pink.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
