For those who have moved to sydney and had to register their car? Was it tough and costly?

I am having a look at the RTA site and it seems so complicated. (im mean proof of acquisition mmm) Pls share your experienced. Im thinking whether to bring my line down from Brisbane or not.

On a different note it would be great to meet some of you down there - maybe show me the nice roads to drive around ;)

Try to hold out as long as you can, nsw rego is shit, if you get pulled up just say you just moved here, not entirely legal, but works until you get told otherwise. On the other hand, if you want to do it, you need to get a green slip(CTP insurance) a blue slip (roadworthy inspection) and your current rego certificate and go to a RTA office and they will change it over, but you need to change your licence first.

Its a major pain in the ass! I moved from melb to syd 4 months ago and im still trying to get my car registered here. In hindsight I would have kept rego in Vic for as long as I could. Yes its illegal after 3 months but NSW has to be the highest paying in rego + CTP in Oz. All the best with the move.

The regular one isnt too bad, but the initial blue slip is a complete pain, they even test your braking g force (kinda cool to know) i think they look in everything. Where in sydney are you, i could suggest a few places to get this done depending where you are

Well I passed the RTAs Vehicle Identification Inspection on Thursday, the guys seemed pretty good. They originally failed me because the side skirts rubbed on the hoist ramp, because it only had 90mm clearance not the required 100mm. As the car had pretty much everything stock (apart from bodykit, coilovers) they didn't pick on anything and passed me. I'm just glad to have passed so that I can register the car.

are you guys for real? I registered a car from sratch on thursday.

all you need to do it:

ring up and organise a greenslip (around $400)

go to a blue slip place and get a blue slip ($100)

go and pick up a copy of the greenslip

take greenslip and blueslip to the RTA pay your rego ($250) and stamp duty if required (3%)

now 2 things can happen. you either get given rego and plates on the spot or you get randomly chosen for a Vehicle Identity Check. This is a pain but it's only if you get chosesn. If you get chosen you have to make an appointment and take your car to an RTA inspection station. then you can get the rego. there is no charge for the check from memory.

As far as 'random' goes, everyone at the RTA I spoke to said that ALL imports will be required for the VII.

Not sure where you got your prices from but my Green Slip was $588 and Blue slip $113, and I'm dredding the rego and stamp duty costs i'm going to pay on Tuesday.

As random as it's supposed to be, everyone i know has been pinged for that. Myself included. It is a f**king pain in the but. No insurance, no rego. I had to tow my car there, drive another car to get rego, leaving my friend sitting in my car so that no bogan would nic it. Then I had to get insurance over the phone. Drive back to my car, then drive it.

bloody waste of time and money.

That certainly was a waste of time and money considering it is perfectly legal to drive your unregistered car to the AUVIS which is what most people do.

Ah well next time! And yeah although it is legal I question how smart it is considering you are uninsured on the drive there and back. At least your way was relatively risk free.

it's definately random and it's not true that every import gets chose (another nice myth). I always go the same RTA. the last car I did (last week) didn't get pinged. The one before did get pinged, the one before that didn't get pinged, the one before that didn't get pinged (you get the idea). as for greenslip $400 was conservative as I can't remember if they charge more for establishment slips. The one on my GTR is $360, as is the one on the GTST, the 33 GTR was $420 I think (all of them with AAMI). yeah, blue slip is pretty much $100-$130 depending on where you go.

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
