Hi Guys,

My names Dallas, I just moved down from Cairns in QLD, (going to join NSW club soon hopefully).

I'm going to retain my QLD Rego & License while i'm living down here for a few years, might be an obvious question, but i'm not too sure. Can NSW police defect me and so fourth even though i'm running QLD Rego & License.

Any help would be appreciated, hope to see you all out at one time or another anyhow. :)

Cheers,

Dallas

If that's the case, I'm on my P's. (Old P System) and I own and drive a turbo skyline, is this going to be a problem?

I shouldn't have to sell or be unable to drive my car because of this..seeing as i had my license before the new rules were enforced in QLD.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I also assume i'm going to actually have to wear P Plates, as they arn't mandatory in QLD.

This was covered on an interstate forum, whereby (if the info was correct), if you maintain the status (ie rego & lic) from your home state, then you'd be allowed to still conform to the laws of that home state and drive a turbo car. This of course pertains to your car.

Relating to you as a person, you'd be subject to licence conditions of this state. And this being NSW, you'd be wise to display your Ps.

A word of caution:

Probably more than 90% of defecting is done at night. I'd recommend that you take off any identifying badges that indicate that your car is a turbo model, lest you be pulled over so often.

I'm happy to be corrected on this,

Tez

PS If you're staying down here for "years", it looks as if you'll have only a short period of grace to change everything; which means OUCH to the turbo car!

PPS Perhaps, it'll be legal to transfer ownership of the car to your Qld parent? But then, you might be better maintaining your Qld lic. after all. Puzzling.

You wont have an issue mate, ask most people down from QLD they basically never get pulled over.

You need a QLD officer to issue some kind of infringement in NSW because of the legal differences (like in newcastle when they have vic and NSW police at defect stations), personally ive been up in QLD and the cops look yet dont defect.) .. Speeding is obviously not included nor is wearing a seat belt... nor is drink driving - you get the drift ..

P.S if you do any of the above you are a fool - not aimed at thread creator just thought id mention it .

If you've also noticed alot of high HP cars i.e majorly defected cars are registered in QLD and drive in sydney.. Have a look at george st.. Oh yes .. dont drive down this street.

Try not to drive vehicles around this time of the year - more RBT's more chance of defects.

if you already owned the car in queensland before the laws came into affect and got your lisence befroe aswell then i wouldn't see a problem, also i know of a person who just paid the $25 for an exemption because the car was his dads for many years before hand or something like that,,,, check qwith RTA anyway, they are usually pretty helpful, and they know all the rules and can get written confirmation from them....

and if you plan to go back to queensland every year in time to renew your rego i wouldn't bother even notifying rta of any changes anyway, aslong as you still got family in cairns....

I just spoke to the RTA who referred me to the Police hotline, who then put me through to a SGT of the Highway Patrol who was rather friendly and very well informed.

What i've found out is that;

I need not wear my P's if I don't feel the need, but we recommended I did so I don't get hassled if i'm pulled over.

Intercoolers must have mush in front of them to be legal.

Atmo Bov's arn't cool.

I don't need to transfer my license or rego over to NSW.

I can drive my turbo vehicle.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Dallas

The car's registration must be in the state where it spends most of its time. Same with the driver's license. I've seen people busted for this in the past.

I have been pinged in 3 states, Police do not care where you are from, you will still get an infringement notice in the mail :ermm:

    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
    • Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.    
    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
