Potential problem....

I've got some custom plates ready to be picked up that I ordered a couple of weeks ago, and it says in the letter to bring in the existing plates & current rego papers. Now I can't find my last registration papers... I thought it was still in my glove box where I usually keep it after paying it, but I can't find it in my car or anywhere else I would normally keep something like that.

I got home literally 5mins too late to call the DPI & ask them if it's going to be a problem, but has anyone ever had any problems when they needed their papers & didn't have them? (like selling a car for example)

I'd think that it would be easy for them to check up on their system when I go in to the licensing centre to see that the car is registered, & maybe with id that it's registered to me....but I'm just trying to find out now because if it's no problem because with work tomorrow I might not even have a chance to call them to find out!

Can anyone help? Searching has given me nothing :P

They asked me for my papers also in that letter thingo saying they have arrived, I just drove down to the D.P.I unscrewed my original plates went to the counter with the letter and said i need my new custom plates. :)

Then they changed them over No hassles they never asked me for The rego papers they just said "Ring your Insurance Company and tell them youve changed your plates" Otherwise i had no problems.

So you should be Fine :)

dude quite sure they can easily bring up ur rego details on their system...they get probs like that daily...wouldnt stress..

That's what I was thinking but I'd hate to be waiting there tomorrow & get told I can't have them over a little thing like a piece of paper :)

nathan they said i had to take the papers but when i get there they didn't even look at them. Dont know if it was just me or whether or not i just got the lazy person at the centre :)

Yeah just a technicality but hopefully I get someone similar...laziness ftw!!!11!

Sweet as, thanks for the replies!

yeah if you have an old set lying around you can use those - doesn't have to be current license papers. Otherwise they will print off a duplicate but they will slug you $19 for the priviledge.

Becareful with licensing centres as it's a bit of pot luck. One day you'll get someone more than happy to slightly bend the rules but most times you'll get a stickler for the rules and no matter how small and ridiculous it maybe they will go 'computer says no'

Back in the day i used to do licensing for a dealership so spent many an hour in the licensing centre.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
