ive been to vic, nsw, and rego in qld never once got defected, been pulled over many times though. this was also on my p's as qld didnt have those rules but vic and nsw did at the time.

99% chance youll be fine and they wont bother, theres more cars they can get in sydney for alot less stuffing around.

I dont know if the police officer told you, you need to change your licence and plates after 3 months of living in NSW.. Its on the RTA website .. However I would not bother.

Yeah he told me that, then i explained my circumstances and by law i'm exempt from that, so my qld license has 5 years left on it, and i can pay rego over the internet. (no roadworthy needed unless changing owner)

That's cool!

I didn't know that there were grounds for an exemption!

Is there a list explaining what these grounds are?

Congrats!

I also find this hard to believe... but like pod filters, I'm going to assume that no one ACTUALLY knows the answer

Also, I'm assuming further that you are keeping your listed address as the on in Qld? meaning that 'technically' you don't live here, hence the exception. :) amirite? :)

Ive heard mention of a law which mentions devices such as coolers which are outside plastic or meshed area of the car.. E.G Rx3 turbo with a huge cooler mounted infront of the metal with only a bumper bar (an actual single bar) covering the cooler.

This is a cheese grate for peds and a blender if in motion. u get the idea .. blood n guts etc...

I believe what he wanted to say was its protected from pedestrians.

I call shenanigans.

There is no excemtion for people moving to NSW to retain their interstate licence. The only excemptions are people who are not permanent residents of Australia, Military personnel etc. You are here for more than 3 months and you need a NSW licence as well as NSW registration.

See ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) REGULATION 2008 - REG 99

FMIC advice is also rubbish. You can have a FMIC if it complies to standards such as an IM240 emissions test and the structural integrity of the vehicle is not altered (eg engineeers report) Pod or any exposedd filters are also subject to emission testing.

You would apply for an excemption in NSW and be excempted as you owned the car interstate before the commencement of their HP vehicle scheme.

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)

      Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.

      A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
