Hello,

Just wondering if anyones ever had a car complianced in another state to the one that it's getting registered in?

Asking because interested in what would happen if you buy a car jsut complianced but not rego'ed in another state to your home state.

I assume ADR = AUSTRALIAN design rule ie it's recognised around Australia right?

I ain't shippin it cos I don't trust shipping a car - I'd be too anxious. :

That only leaves driving it and considering if I drive it state to state with no rego it means I'll get arrested the only way to do that would be registered.

Now - if I ask the previous owner in the state they are in to register it (and assuming they agree), then I can drive it down. After that can I transfer it to myself? Now will they charge a bs fee or isit standard changeover and you just pay for a new plate?

My other question is - I've never had a car that wasn't registered already - when you rego a car without rego you need to go over the pits and get a blueslip right? (NSW) or can you just get a pink slip if you have a freshly complianced car?

Anyone been through any of this?

Thanks for any thoughts in advance! :rolleyes:

You can get a "permit" for about $60 in most states to drive an unregistered car for a limited period from point to point. Use this to drive from purchace point to nearest RTA in NSW (Albury, Tweed Heads etc) then register in NSW and drive home.

Yeah, i'm in Melb but compliance is in Sydney. Contemplating flying up and driving it back down, or trucking it down to Melb. But yeah, as others have said, you can get temp permits to drive the car to a specific location.

hehe Gohan - that's almost the opposite of what im looking at doing.

Unforunately I don't trust just anyone to drive my car up a truck and off it without damage - especially with suspension and a kit heh so yeah might have to drive it down.

Good luck with your escapades!

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
