So I'm thinking about letting the rego expire on my GTR and storing it for a few years. With two other vehicles, and another in the build I'm just not driving it and it's sitting in the car capusal until rego time. I've queried the RMS about expired rego and awaiting a response - anyone had experience trying to re-rego after a few years? I'm not interested in selling it, but thinking the $700+ on rego alone is expensive for one day!

Thoughts?

It's just a blue slip to re rego, so providing your car will pass a blue slip let it go if you can't justify paying it every year

I had heard that it was going to be a more difficult process than that for imports. I spoke to an inspector and he advised new rules meant another engineering certification along with stringent requirements? that scared me off last time and I just got it re-regoed to avoid any nightmares like that...

I'll provide an update once I hear back from RMS.

I bought my 34 from the ACT and it had to be regoed here which is considered a new rego and all they had to do was get the import number from the tag then blue slip and done, given your car is a NSW rego they should be able to just use the old rego plate number

AFAIK it depends on what import scheme the car was brought in under. My car doesnt have the compliance plate, so from what I understand will be a big PITA if i have to re-register after expiry. Other schemes it wont be such a big deal.

I know that's vague, but i would assume if its been brought in under the currect scheme, it will meet the current rules, so you'll be ok. If its been brought in under any other, there's some risk.

Hi i just read your post i de registered my skyline a year ago and i want to register it this june. is there a lot of paperwork involved?

Hi Sofi

I actually ended up continuing with the rego on my gtr (despite the fact it is driven 2 - 3 times a year), however assuming you are looking to re-register in NSW it is simply a matter of following the processes detailed at this link

http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/registration/expiredcancelled/cancelledrego.html

I had this sent to me by one of the RMS staff, and I also called the contact centre to confirm over the phone.

essentially - you should not encounter any problems with re-registering your car :)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
