Hi. I am about to make a deposit on a Nissan Silvia. However, the person who I am purchasing it through is selling it for his dad, who has moved to Queensland. The car is registered in the dad's name. I will be buying it unregistered.

What can I do to ensure the deal goes through smoothly? Will I need to have the son provide a signed contract from his dad? Will he signing it for his dad be enough?

The last thing I want, is to buy the car, then have it reported as stolen by the dad when I go to register it.

Thanks in advance guys.

Selling it for his dad? or possibly the car belonged to the kid, was driven by the kid, maintained by the kid, and the rego is in dad's name so the insurance can be in dad's name and the kid can save some $$$? :)

I'd want at least a faxed (signed) letter from the father allowing the kid to sell the car and act as a proxy, and DEFINATELY talk to him on the phone and make sure it's all kosher.

in all honesty though, i'd put my money on the car actually belonging to the son, and it was just registered in dad's name to make insuring it easier!

Are you sure R33-Lovr? I have spoken to a few people and they seem the have the belief that if you have a letter from the father giving permission for the son to act as a proxy in the sale, that is acceptable.

Yep am sure i had my previous R33 under my mums name whos a pension when i came to sell it i rang the RTA (NSW) and asked would it be possible for me to sign in the blue slip on behalf of my mother with a letter attached from her saying i could sell register the car on her behalf and they said no, i only asked them because i already had a letter from my mum signed to do so but it was no use.

i could only register the car but cant sell it.and i still had to provide her pensioners card.

Maybe its different in Vic best thing to do is ring your Road and traffic authority, i think they r callec Vic road or something but thats how its in syd.

Trying to remember back from when I bought my car...

You should check if there is any finance remaining on the vehicle. Even if you buy the vehicle from them , if they skip the country the finance company can reposes the car. Ring Vehicle Securities Register (13 11 71)

For a small fee you can receive a certificate that I believe will protect you from repossession. Well worth it. I think it cost me $8

Check with Vicroads if the vehicle is in the Stolen Vehicle Database.

Good Luck

      Hi all,   I have been a member here for years and am back to owning an R35.  It's my car and thought members of the community might enjoy sharing my journey.  I am definitely here to join the conversation.  If sharing this content isn't appropriate or it belongs somewhere else, I am happy to have it deleted or moved...

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      Data looks rock solid? I'm assuming you jabbed the throttle twice OR once? the TPS voltage moves up and down twice, however you've mentioned you did it once.

      Having not watched the videos, I'm unsure, but this may be better suited to the importing thread?

      Update on this situation: (Forgot to put in my previous post that I bought another brand new pressure gauge and fuel shows the same 50psi) I've deleted all the aftermarket immobilizers and turbo timer shyt and placed all factory wiring back to normal. The problem is still the same and nothing changed, but atleast it's a bit more tidier under the steering wheel. I've also siphoned out all the old fuel and then poured new batch of BP98 fuel (about 15L) into the tank. Nothing changed. Still the same idle. I also changed out the MAP vac line with a new one and, still the same.  So 2 days ago, I thought fk it. I'll just change out the fuel rail and injectors with another set that I know worked well in my brother's R34 a while back. That other fuel rail has the exact same Xspurt 640cc as what I have right now. So I changed it out to that other fuel rail and injectors (new O-rings) and injector harness. Put everything back together, started the engine, 464906286_1624569924763105_5179888796065901094_n.mp4   and yeah... still the same 50psi and idle problem. 🫠 I can also hear each of injector's solenoids running when I put a screw driver to it and have the other end to my ear. I might get a noid light just to confirm pulsasion but yeah, very strange that both fuel rails and injectors put out 50psi.  31-10-2024.csv I've attached it here. I started recording, then started the engine and let it idle with no throttle, then at the end I applied a little throttle and then stopped recording.    So, now idk. I'm going to see if swapping out the brand new R35 coils to my old splits fires will change anything. 🤷‍♂️

      Hey mate, nice work on the car. Just a quick note, people generally don't like it when you use the forums to dump and run to advertise your YouTube content. If you're gonna stick around and join in the conversation then great, but if not this might not be the best place for you.
