Hi guys,

I am posting this thread in the hope that someone can point me to the new owner of my 1999 Vspec R34GTR which I sold in late 2010.

I sold the car to a guy in NSW, which apparently crashed it, and then the current owner bought it from a damaged auction and brought it back to its former glory.

Reason I am looking for the new owner is because the guy that bought it off me never transferred the registration and the vin number is still registered in my name.

So I need to clear this issue up with the new owner, as I will need a letter from them to say where and when they bought the car as supporting evidence.

It was my mistake I didn't lodge the disposal notice with the SA Branch of motor reg.

So anyone with any info please send me a private message.

When I had it the number plate was VSPC34.

Why do you need the owner? Shouldn't need a letter from the owner to de-register a car. You just call up and cancel the registration :/

I'm guessing there something like some fines or similar in the system now,

but if you still have the sale notice with date and a stat dec I would think that you might be able to resolve this?

Ah yes true...I have had similar things where the buyer went straight from my house onto Eastkink for their trip home...also picked up a speeding fine along the way...I don't understand wanting to drive a car like this if someone can prove it was you...or even wanting to put a seller through that.

Should be able to use receipts from date of sale.

I doubt vicroads is going to give you the name and address of a person based on a registration/VIN number - case in point, i get road raged, take down a license number and go to vic roads? go round to the guys house....?

It's all hindsight stuff now, but when i sell a car I write out a pretty detailed receipt of sale - stating the time and date that the car is being handed over, that the buyer accepts legal responsibility for the vehicle from that time forward (to prevent things like fines etc), and that they have a set amount of time (usually 14 days) to transfer the vehicle into their name with the relevant authorities after which the registration will be cancelled by me. Get both parties to sign it with a license number that you've sighted. Keep a copy for yourself.

It is also very wise to ask the buyer to show you the cover note they have arranged for their insurance - i can't imagine the sh1t fight that would go down if you cancelled your own insurance and the new owner had an accident before they had the car transferred into their name. I usually leave the car insured until i've got confirmation from the new owner they have succesfully transferred it into their name.

But like you said - it was an oversight by you not cancelling your SA rego after you sent it to NSW. It's a timely reminder as I'm about to send a car up to ACT with Vic rego, so thanks.

I just spoke to VicRoads regarding the sale of my own car interstate - there is no real failsafe to prevent this from happening unless you physically site proof from the new owner of transfer of ownership.

She did say that registration numbers and ownership are stored in databases at a state level, but that VIN's and ownership are stored in a national database that the state authorities reference off.

So when someone newly registered your SA car in VIC, the VIN should have have flagged when checked against the national database as being registered in your name in SA.

Obviously this is what happened with the second owner - he didn't transfer the vehicle into his name once the car went interstate - it never flagged in the national database, you didn't pay your registration renewal, the vehicle become unregistered in SA - but still under your ownership at both a state and national level. I'd say the ball has been dropped between when the vehicle was paid out and sold at auction. Still, it should have flagged again when the third owner bought it, fixed it, especially as it would have had to go through a VIVS.

Anyway - regardless - call VicRoads there is a number in the options menu you can select to check a vehicle's current registration status. Give them the VIN and see what comes of it.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Seats would really give the interior a huge makeover. And as it's a bogan cruise ship, you don't need hugging seats like a race seat, or material that'll hold you stupidly tight in the seat.   I say go for it. If minister won't approve a trip away, it'd probably be $650 return to ship the car down and back, just tell her it's at the mechanics, and woah, you don't know how the seats became leather!!!

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It really doesn't matter much who made it, unless if is obviously poorly routed or restrictive in a section; what matters is the nominal cross section. For most normal-medium power you go 3" from the cat back for a good combination of free flow and retaining ground clearance. Front and dump pipes are tricker to get in larger sizes and are the most common restriction

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Kip · Posted

      Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to throw some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.

      C34 RSFour V Build in the US

      By Kip · Posted

      Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?

      G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.
