Quick question if anyone can answer.


I have taken a deposit on my GTST. The individual who has placed this deposit is only on their P's in Vic. The car is on the prohibitive list. Can the P plater sign the car into their name even they cannot legally drive the car? His intention is to remove the turbo.


Thanks

Ed

Yes he can. He's an idiot. Removing the turbo does not make it legal for him to drive. It will, however, make it the slowest car in Melbourne.

Let him buy it. Whatever happens next is his problem, not yours.

The police computer will still identify the car as a GTS-T with the turbo. Yes, even an Alzheimer's patient can own any vehicle Ed.

When we exchange Notice to Transfer Slips here in NSW, it's advisable to write the Time of Day - and not just the Date.

God know how many cameras he can go through in an hour!

In NSW if he gets his parents to buy and register it as a family owned car under their name [not his] then he can use it [or thats my understanding of it], but what parent would be so stupid.

And removing the turbo doesn't work cos the law goes off the model number of the car, and a Gtst is Gtst is a Gtst!!!

I would seek legal advice tbh, if he buys and smashes are you liable??? Is it the same as selling beer or cigarettes to minors??? I really don't know. There is a legal website where you can register and ask such questions for free, might give you a starting point?

I'll find it and post.

Yes his friend (full permit) is going to drive it home but they are young so I imagine 100 meters down the road the p plater will jump in the drivers seat :(.

I was wondering was it ok to sign a turbocar over to a p plater for ownership (outside of driving)

I think ill ask him to bring his father along and sign it in his name so I can wipe my hands clean.

Thanks for the advice.

the problem may occur when they decline the transfer into his name due to the licence.

I suppose though that if you have complete disposal paperwork and you submit it to the rego department that you would be covered?

Your safe to sell it to him.

Im a car salesman and you can sell a car to someone without a license if you want to.

The only problem he may have is if he has got a loan he will need comprehensive insurance and he wont be able to get it on his Ps.

Thats his problem not yours.

My wife bought a car from me when we were first together and it was a prohibited vehicle and she was able to transfer it into her name no problem

Thanks Don sounds good. That's what I suspected.

These days you can submit the notice of disposal literally as soon as he drives away. I think its all done online now isnt it?

From RMS Sydney site anyway

To submit a notice of disposal online, you'll need:

  • the vehicle's NSW registration plate number
  • your NSW Driver Licence or NSW Photo Card details, or a MyServiceNSW Account connected to Roads and Maritime
  • the new owner's NSW Driver Licence details, or the NSW motor dealer's licence number
  • the sale date (known as the date of disposal), and
  • the sale price or market value of the vehicle (whichever is higher).

This was a contentious issue with bikes when the LAMS system came in. LAMS meant that you were no longer bound by a 250cc restriction but you were bound by a power to weight restriction. A lot of manufacturers (in particular, Suzuki) would sell 2 identical mid-size (~600cc) bikes but one would have a restricted ECU and be on the LAMS registry. Lots of people wanted to know if they could just swap the ECU's from either LAMS to Open or the other way around but the bike would need to be deregistered and then reregistered with a vin number change (if I recall correctly) as non LAMS with a blue slip. Was just so much work involved.

Moral to the story; making a car 'NA' does not make that car an 'NA' car. You should still be able to sell it to the kid though.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
