Should I Let Rego Expire And Store The Gtr?

[DAN00H]

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?

JDM_Performance (Eugene 0421141538) and...

JLM (Todd 0296383205) know about this and...

it shouldn't be a problem unless there are current outstanding issues.

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

so long as its not modified youll be fine.

just a blue slip.

mods will require an engineers certificate.

this is where it can (not will) get difficult.

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 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
