Hey guys, Im going to be purchasing a R33 GTST within the next couple of weeks and I was wondering if I needed any extra or special paperwork when I change the car into my name? I have heard that vicroads can be a bit hard to deal with regarding imports.

As far as I know I need a Roadworthy cert. and change of ownership form!

Any assistance would be great

Thanks guys

It's just a R33 , they will ask what they would ask to a maxima or a 350z.... same thing applies..

Who will be doing RWC ?

If it has already been registered in VIC by previous owner than it not such a drama. Normal procedure I think.

Only if it's first time registration then you need:

DOTARS import approval

RWC

Proof of ownership (Invoice for car)

Engineering Certificate

And a bit of luck on your side...

When I got mine done (1st Owner in Oz) I had to make a special appointment to see VIC roads to get it registered, and all the importers in VIC had the appointments booked up for like two weeks. I had to goto Frankston to get it registered, and the guy was way dumb. He thought my car was a 200sx.

All you need is the transfer of ownership and RWC from past 30 days. If your lucky, the owner will have it done, or will do it once you make a payment.

Just make sure you have the tranfer fee. I forget the percentage, but will cost you a couple of hundred bucks. If it wasnt such a modern car, you could ask them to make the receipt for cheap ass, to save some dosh.

Shouldnt be any harder than a regular car. The sting will be the insurance. get some quotes , and then activate it the day you take delivery of the car. But dont be fooled with mainstream insurer etc.

I was going to get the car put in my dads name, coz racv were offering a rate 500 less than me. come D day, the computer rejected it processing it =[

Had to ring other insurance company at last minute.

Last note, if the car has blow off valves etc, anything to annoy RWC you better get that sorted first.

As mentioned above, if it has already been registered in Australia then it should be the same as any other car...

I bought mine (first owner in Aus) and basically told the guy i bought it off that i would pay him when the car was in my name... i made the appointment at vic roads, (the car had to go through the pits) and the seller came with me, i took a bank cheque for the agreed amount and when vic roads said everything was ok, i handed over the money...

i needed quite a bit of paperwork for the car as well (which the seller provided) so just be careful...

But Heath, Vicroads only employs esteemed professionals...

Quote the sale price as 15K as thats what you could get away with reasonably if it was stock....cough no thats not a 2535 turbo...its standard fitment my good man...

I think its 4% of the sale price, and transfer fee which is less than $100. They wont even look at your car in the fleh they just do the paperwork. The dramas people have when going to Vicroads that you would have heard of is when the car is unregistered.

Should be no probs, just get to the reg office fist thing in the morning as come 10am it gets busy.

PS cant wait to go for a spin in the new monster, it sounds awesome from the specs. Let me know if you want those bits and pieces : )

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
