I Have I Technical Question

[hmd993]

hi guys and girls,,, i have a quick question for all of you and help is appreciated...

my brother wants to buy a skyline from south australia from a friend of his and wants to bring it to nsw,, the car is modified a little , like carbon fiber bonnet, racing seats, rims, coil overs etc... the car doesnt have an engineer certificate and has parts that can be defected.. he is wondering that if he buys the car from his friend with new rego from south australia and brings it here nsw, he will have to transfer the registration to a nsw one,, my question is when he changes it to nsw ,is the rta going to ask him to get green slip and pink slip and all of that?? i mean are they going to check if the car has defects?? or is it going to be as simple as changing the plate from SA one to NSW ones and pay some little fee?...

thanks in advanced for the help

You'll need a blue slip.

Depending on the inspection place you go to they may not give one because of the mods.

You'll have to transfer the rego and get NSW plates issued and pay the appropriate fees.

Perhaps look at the RTA website for more details.

so if the car has a FMIC do u think that will be considered as a defect and wont be able to get a blue slip?

Not just a blue slip, but you'll be "randomly" selected to go to an RTA inspection station for a numbers check to make sure it's all legit. This is where they'll bend you over and start having their way with you.

I've brought a V35 in from QLD and the process is pretty much identical to if you were bringing teh car in from Japan. I needed all compliance paper work etc etc. My advice would be try and get the car back to stock. Things like exhausts/wheels are not that bad and shouldn't be a prob. (as long as there legal off course :-) )

Oh yeah forgot that.

I was 'randomly' picked to have my car inspected.

Rocked up, screamer pipe and all... saw that i was a honkie and 5 minutes later it was all good.

I wouldn't buy a modded car interstate. I am sure you can find one more locally and not have to put up with all the b.s the RTA will throw at you.

thanks guys for the advice,,,,just one more question, are carbon fiber bonnets illegal? are they considered a defect? can i get engineer certificate for them?

thanks again for the help

Not legal unless you can prove they are stronger than a standard bonnet (crash test them $$$)
