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:

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
