transfer it, then 28days for RWC before reg is suspended, i assume you lost the RWC, as it is illegal for a car to be sold without one.

editing for others reference: if car is unregistered, the only time limit you have is the expiration of unreg vehicle permits, and RWC's. you dont need to transfer an unreg car as such, just reg it in your name, providing a receipt for the purchase. You make an appointment at vicroads, take in receipt, RWC, anything else they need then fingers crossed you drive away with plates on.

well no, it was sold without REGO or RWC and i had one of those permit things to drive it home and also to the mechanic etc..

so i can just go transfer it now, and when it is rwc i can get that and also rego done?

By the sounds of it since it was not sold with a RWC and you purchased it UNREG you will have to start the process again.

Get a RWC for the car within the 28 day allowance and then Register it, shouldnt have a problem if you do that.

I purchased a car in VIC last yr and had the hassle of bringing it to NSW and I learnt through that process that neither states communicate in any way with registration. NSW don't accept VIC roadworthy's and such and so on.

I had to basically register the car as if it was unroadworthy and unregistered. Time consuming and costly... Good luck with it mate.

+1, nice n easy. Just more tedious than anything prolly. Though they will have different laws to be observed when on the road.

though you will need to renew ur permit for an unreg vehicle to drive it places for rwc unless u plan on trailering it.

As you didnt purchase it with REG - It means nothing now.

Essentially you could take 6 months to get it registered and VicRoads will not care.

The 14days ONLY applies for cars with REG

+1 for this. As Nismoid said, because the car was sold with no registration you can take as long as you want in getting a RWC as there is no Rego to be transfered. The only thing you need to worry about is permits that expire so you can drive the car to and from mechanics and vic roads. However you do need to get the vehicle registered within the 28 days of getting your RWC as they expire.

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?

      Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
