hi dudes, was wondering if i could get a answer to my question.

I live in Sydney but am thinking of buying a Skyline from another state, most likely QLD or ViC. My question is to register them from their state to my state , so that they r registered as a NSW vechile, do i have to get it registered as if it was a new car and expect to pay alot of money or can i just register it over as renewing a NSW registration every year.

Sorry in advance to admin if this shoulda been posted elsewhere, wasnt sure where to ask it.

I just had to do the same thing, i got my car from brisbane and i live in adelaide.

when u get the car back to your home state, its just a matter of taking your car to motor registration, then u will have to get the car inspected. Once your car is inspected and all is road worthy, u will be able to buy plates on the spot for around $26.00 each. (may differ in different states). You will still have to pay rego, and stamp duty, which is never cheap!!

Goodluck......

FIrstly, this isn't a "Skyline" issue.

Registration issues apply to all vehicles (believe it or not) :)

You can't transfer registration between states.

You will need to supply the RTA (or whoever deals with registrations in NSW) with current roadworthy certificate, proof of ownership, and any other paperwork that they require.

The internet is a wonderful thing....

hate to get picky. anyway, i think its just a matter of registering it and paying stamp duty and rwc etc., in the state you bought it, drive it back home, get all the paperwork you'd need to register a "new car" in nsw, go to rta and pay the transfer fee and plates and no stamp duty. tip: get your car weighed, the rta wanted to put me in the 1500 - 1899kg (?) bracket, but i was able to prove my car only weighs 1320kg. saved me around 100bux a year i think. i was only paying 480/yr for rego in nsw!

register it in the state you buy it... take it back to your state, drive it for three months and then transfer the registration over to NSW.

I did that with my car (the 180sx) bought it in melb, then took it back to NSW and then just swapped rego over 3 months later. You're allowed to drive a car with interstate plates for 3 months.

Check with your local authority because different states have different rules. Also I remember reading somewhere that NSW charges stupid $ for such a purchase from other states so the money you save buying interstate will go towards the RTA. But still, check with them first. :)

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
