that's easy. It depends on which state.

Very formally and generally, you have to have the seller unregister the car itself

and then you can bring it back to your state. Easy way is to use the transporters else you can drive it back to your state.If you lived in VIC, just get an "unregistered vehicle" pass for $30 something the first day and a few dollars for each of the next few days from VICROADS.

Once you get it back to your own state, do a roadworthy and get the necessary documents. Then, bring it into the road authority(like VICROADS and so forth for other states) and get it registered.

Piece o' cake...

Make sure you get the car inspected though...

At the current petrol prices, wouldn't you be much better off calling up a transport company and spending about $280 transporting it from let's say Sydney - Melbourne. This way, your car will not be at risks of stone chips and other unexpected 'vistors' on your way back on the highway. Rather than spending your precious time driving it back.

My 2cents.

well that's true but if you can afford a skyline, would you be thinking about petrol prices?

also, another thing with transporting cars is that you don't want your car to be in the depot overnight or so.Who knows what those animals would do to it.

Also,well,i'm a car carer so i don't like no body touching my car but my mechanic or my girl. :lol:

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
