hey guys, i've got a r34-gtt and have had it for quite a while, i bought it fairly cheap and now im a bit paranoid beacuse i looked at the PPSR check and the free rego check of my car, and while the number plate and all is correct, it says

body type = SEDAN

when infact, my car is a 2 door coupe?

Can anyone provide some insight or thought into this? Is this hard to fix? What could the reasons for this be? or how will this effect me?

Thanks heaps guys.

wow thats a relief. i got pretty paranoid last night, ran outside at 3am and tried investigating if the car used to be a 4 door or something and got rebirthed. late night does crazy things to the mind lol

thanks again guys, i shall sleep easy tonight.

I was deemed "paranoid" once, but that didn't mean there was no-one following me!

:P

thanks again everyone, good to see that the RTA has failed us all collectivly, once again

My 32 GTR is regod as a sedan and to avoid complications I'd just leave it . I went to get mine changed when I looked at the rego papers but my mechanic said don't bother with it as it can be a very painful process to fix it. Not sure why but the RMS tends to make simple tasks very hard for no apparent reason.

to fix it, its just a matter of going to a blueslip place and paying for an update of details, like $20, then next time your sent rego papers it will say the correct one,
HOWEVER being a skyline in nsw your car is a SEDAN, as in nsw the Coupe shape code is for 2 seater only,

even looking at the proper rvd for the s14, http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/rvd-pre1999/data/pdf/10042.pdf its listed as a 2 door sedan.

and its not the rms that puts them in like that, its the mechanic that does the blueslip when its regoed, as they put a shape code on the blueslip that the rms staff enter into the system.

i know as i do blueslips (well AUVIS e, safety check)

similar with CTP for NSW.

when I used to work for Shannons and did CTP, we had to ask what the code was on the rego paper for shape.

9 times out of 10 it was all SED where as people go 'eerr nah bro its a coupe aye cuz!!'

Im lucky, my Santa Fe classed as a WAG, and is cheaper for CTP/rego than a 4WD such as landcruiser

as others have said, dont worry - all good!

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
