Hi..

I'm in the market for an R34 GTT and heading down to Sydney (from QLD) in the new year to check out the larger market of R34 GTTs NSW has to offer. I expect to fly down to Sydney, stay approx 5 days in the Sydney area, and drive a privately purchased vehicle back. There's a number of issues I'm expecting to face such as the following:

  • Insurance for a NSW registered car that isn't yet in my name (would like to have insurance for the drive back).
  • NSW Safety Cert for vehicle and mechanical inspection given tight timeframes.
  • REVS check and possible financial encumberance.
  • Transfer of bank funds (purchasing outright).
  • QLD Safety Cert and rego when arriving back in QLD.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I expect it to be a bit on an adventure and any advice is good advice.

Thanks,

Dan

transferring the money just go to the bank and do a tranfer.

putting the car in ur name you just get a qld roadworthy and go to the dot like usual with ur receipt and rwc and its done.

If the car is purchased with a few months remaining on the NSW rego, does that 3 months $$ of rego get transferred to the QLD rego?

Is that a refund from QLD Transport or the seller?

It would be from NSW transport. You'd have to mail them the plates and they'll mail you out a cheque for the remaining rego.

You'd need to do a transfer of ownership. Shouldn't be difficult to do, just download the forms of the Queensland transport website before you head down so that if you need to get the old owner to sign them, you can.

Insurance. Just ring them up on the day and take out a policy on the vehicle. You get a cooling off period (either 14 or 28 days, I can't remember) where you can cancel it before having to pay any money (unless you crash it in that time, then naturally they'll expect you to pay up) (Used to be that you'd get a cover letter for a short period, but I'm not sure if insurance companies do that any more, Just car's didn't for me)

Have you looked around up here for a R34 first though? I know that there have been plenty for sale over the past year.

no but you may be able to get a refund from the remaining nsw rego

You'll be lucky to get $5 from the NSW RTA after "fees".

You should get something back from the greenslip provider...maybe $100 or so. (assuming the greenslip cost 4-500 to start with)

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
