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 : )

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
