Hi everyone,

As topic said, I want to transport my Nissan Dualis from Perth to Brisbane.

If anyone can input some information, that would be great (With license, rego, etc.).

FYI, I might be moving to Brisbane for work for indefinitely in the next 2-3 months. :( (I will miss you guys)

Thank you.

i have done the vic - perth then back again.

Cant speak for the QLD rego system but here you provide 12+ months of ownership and they transfer it on the spot without a pits check. May have the same set up there?

I have used CEVA (use to be TNT) for my transport but there are heaps of companys out there (most removels companys will do it along with your belongings). Keep in mind that a Dualis will cost a bit more being a '4X4' and sits on the upper deck of the train carrage. Thats either good or bad depending on how you look at it, more chance of a rock hitting it but my car was on the lower deck and it was covered in brake dust/dirt by the time it got here.

Also if its just for a shord time to start with then most states let you stay on you current rego for about 3 months before you 'have to change it over'.

Hope that helps

Thanks, Null.

I just bought the Dualis last December so it won't be a year when I transport it. I am just worried rego transfer and pit check is not much hussle. It's stock so would be fine. The price doesn't matter, as my company is going to handle that, along with my belongings.

Another thing just came in mind, I am putting on my personal plate onto Dualis. Will that be gone if the car gets its rego transfers?

Thanks again.

Again dont know the QLD system but if you do have to do their version of the pits then its not too bad just takes time i guess.

Our Rav had personal plates on it (Vic) and no you dont get to keep them. We had the car for 5+ years with the plates so money wise its not a loss but if you just got your's then it will be. If the combonation is available i say you will be able to get them done in QLD but ofcourse you will have to pay again.

Let us know how you go VNS as Im looking into moving to brisbane also

Hi Chris, it should be exciting.

One thing for sure is everything is cheaper there. I was looking at renting houses online and I can get a good 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 car port house for AU$300-$400, which in Perth is quite impossible. Car prices are cheap, as well as food.

I should be going for training for a week soon, and will experience first hand how Brisbane city is. :)

      That's a good point. The rears of the covers themselves have no baffling at all though. Higher up more chance of air for venting the crank case. Lower on the side more likely to be submerged. I might be able to fit them on the sides but with both the sump drain fittings being on the drivers side the passenger one will need to make a U Turn and be nearer the turbo. But it will look neat being not up on top.

      It won't likely matter where along the cam covers you put the big fittings. I would suggest putting them on the sides if you can, simply because it will reduce the flow up through the baffles and thus reduce the amount of oil that gets put into the foam. It might not matter, but it seems like something to consider as a worthwhile thing to avoid.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Well, I have my IM240 results with a cammed LS1... My Nox was 0.11 and my CO g/km was 0.2. Euro4 is 0.08 and 0.1 respectively. I'm gonna say for a stock RB this is actually plausible, BUT in Australia they were complied pre-Euro2, so the limits were: Which as you can see, is way higher. I'd say a stock RB with a new OEM Cat could? actually pass Euro4 for NOX but you'd probably have to do a hell of a lot of testing to prove it, and getting a car emissions tested and carrying a certificate of emissions when/if you get pulled over may be cost prohibitive if it's even allowable to get your car tested and re-classified. You'd have to find out what the UK Govt is using as reference material. It may be non-negotiable.

      I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?
