Hey guys

looking at an r32 with rb25 in nsw but b4 looking further.

Wat kinda hassels will I hit getting it registerd here?

It's engineerd but has aftermarket parts such as injectors ecu ect.

Can I just get a rwc and that's it or will Vic roads wanna inspect the car in person?

Cheers guys

I've just done a similar thing with a Falcon.

Take the details (VIN / Eng No.) to a Vicroads office, they will confirm that it exists on the system. If so, you won't need to present the car, just get a RWC then pay the registration / transfer / Plates fees.

Did this very thing with my car.

AFAIK as long as the NSW rego lists the current engines number matched to the VIN number, get a RWC, go to the nearest Vicroads office with the car (they checked my vin and engine number) and they will issue a vic rego and cancel the NSW one.

Best bet is to contact vicroads and get them to tell you the procedure.

Good luck.

rwc only.

I just picked up our new car from Qld, got a roadie and went to vicroads and handed in the plates, paid rego and stamp duty got my vic plates and left... nice and simple and car is not required for any inspections etc...

Did your car have a different engine put in it?

i work @ Vicroads, you only need to bring the VIN & Engine number, proof of purchase.. & A RWC..... AND IF THE CAR HAS HAD REGISTRATION NO MORE THEN 3 MONTHS AGO, we dont need to see the car.

Ok. At the RWC stage are you likely to run into issues as the car has had an RB25 put in it? Or is this not a big enough change to warrant engineering and certification?

I've forgotten all the Vic rules associated with engine swaps and the like.

as far as i know it would have to have an engineers for an rb25, which the one i was looking at doesnt and after speaking more with the guy he has no idea about the car at all so have strayed away from that car lol.

thansk for all the replys guys, really big help

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
