its mostly a mith that the Pit is a licensing black hole (of course depending where you go) Apparently Warwick is a no-go, but East Perth was excellent, took an RX7 over there with rock hard suspension, intake bits, massive exhaust, and while he was fairly thorough he wasn't a bastard. Was taken for a drive and given my plates.

Dont stress too much, just try East Perth and welshpool first.

Hi guys

New in these forums - a few posts in the Stagea section... about to (hopefully) take delivery of my Neo6 "family wagon" in a few weeks :D

I am buying mine from an eastern states import yard - never been registered (newly complied) - so will come off the transporter at my door - then off to the pits for inspection... anyone know if this first time registration will be any different to a transfer from another state that uve said in this thread not to worry too much about??? Its important coz I have the option of getting some parts (rims, lowering, tow-bar) fitted at the yard before it comes over - but wont do the mods til after rego if anyone knows it will be under a closer or different type of inspection coz its the first time????

Thanks

Adam

PS Also thining of getting a custom towball fitted in QLD - would the pits guys worry about it if it looked done right? Or do they need load-rating stickers etc on them legally?

if your mods are reasonable and legal i wouldnt worry 2 much . ie rims are within allowed size difference and cars not 2 low . i dont know about tow bars though .

as your interstate rego is your main form of vehical identification you will need to make sure youve got all the import / compliance paper work and proof of ownership . give the department of planning and infrastructure a call and see what they require . also some states will give you a temporary rego for interstate transfer that might help to .

but give them a call and make sure , essentially youve got to prove ownership and compliance .

in terms of inspection tho everything will be the same , its just paperwork difference .

also i got my transfer at warrick , no probs . if you got a pretty stock skyline/stagea i wouldnt worry at all

Id suggest that a first time inspection of a car thats never been regoed will be 1) more expensive (113 dollars vs 56 dollars) and more indepth as the engineering papers etc will have to be double checked.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
