Hey guys hope this is the right section

I'm considering purchasing a skyline from Queensland, the car in question is engineered except for the ECU and boost controller.

What am I in for and what is required to get the car over the border? Any help would be great as I'm pretty clueless with these things.

Cheers Steve.

fill the boot with drugs and put it in a covered semi!

lol

i bought a car in the ACT recently and im just waiting for ACT rego to run out, then ive gotta get a blueslip and transfer it all into my name and put my custom plates back on it....

but yeah blueslip and normal rego stuff i think...

call the rta they are there to help

We just did it.

Step 1:

Get the rego papers

Step 2:

Get a note from the owner stating their name & address where the car is registered at, sold to one zilch who lives at 102 skyline way, sydney for $xxx amount rego number 589 X97 QLD vin/chassis number. sold on date 19/02/2008 and get them to sign it.

Step 3

bring the car back to NSW

Step 4

Go get a blue slip

Step 5

Go to the RTA give them your

A) Blue slip

B) Change of registration form (you must fill this out at the rta)

C) The note that the old owner has given you

D) Just have the old rego papers on hand

Step 6

Give them lots of monies and you have a NSW registered car. (woo hoo!)

hahaahah this guy..

what you gonna if theres no more drugs n shit left in the world

Thanks heaps for that Corinne :/

I was just unsure of the procedure and yeah the car has a ton of mods but I suppose if they are all engineered it won't matter

Oh and how much did it cost you?

love is the drug schneggles..!

blueslips are pretty expensive.. and normally they want you to slap a year of rego on it..

im factoring 1kish for my changeover

It depends..

It will cost you the

* Blue slip

* Green slip I forgot to mention you need one of these

* Transfer of rego fee which is certain percent of the car it all varies

* and of course the full 12 months rego.

Cost some big bucks because you have to put 12 new rego on it.

But then you won't have to worry about it running out.

The QLD engineering stuff doesn't mean squat to NSW they don't reconise it.

We just did it.

Hey Corinne,

What car did you bring over?

I just did this with my V35 and went as above, except before I handed over the monies I had to take the car through a random "ID Check".

If the car has rego it's no big deal as you can still drive it while waiting for the ID check but not sure if they check other things like mods while doing the "ID Check" mine was pretty standard, with only exhaust and Nismo suspension.

As for driving down, definately do it. I bought my car from Noosa and had a truck waiting in Brisbane. An hour into the drive from Noosa, I cancelled the truck called the Mrs and said, see you tomorrow.

I also got a nice souvenier from the Queensland police about a week ago (I bought it in December), a pic of my car passing a nice Torana photographed by our friendly speed cameras. :-) And a nice close up as well. I think you can see my smile in the pic. I'm getting it framed as i type.

We bought a vs commonwhore & my bike down.

That random ID check IS BADDD make sure the car is completely stock when it goes for it.

exactly - I thought I would be rejected but in the end i passed first go with my V35 even though I had the exhaust and suspension.

I got through nice and easy when I imported my first V35, but I think it could be cause the V35's are newer NON turbo they may be a little more leanient on them

Hmm. Well when we went to get a blue slip for the GTR the place on parra road didn't want to do it because it wasn't standard and if we had to have a ID check done they would have fined the dealership doing the blue slip.. We just said we had all the spare parts and home (which we did) and if we were called to book it in we would change it back the day before. Had the blueslip done and lucky the RTA didn't check it.

I doubt they would make me do it for the bike. I still have the thing on QLD rego until I get a bit of money to re-rego it.

thats the same with me...

your MEANT to transfer it right away, but my car still had like 6 months rego on it, and the dealer slapped in my name already so when i had the funds (now) ill do it... (runs out on 28th.. lol)

but you can get in trouble for not doing it asap.. and get taken to court (sif thats going to happen)

It's shit hey Haysey! It's a waste of money not to let the bloody rego run out. Because unlike NSW if you buy a car from another state that money goes back to the old owner. Load of crap I tell you.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
