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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
