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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
