I didn't notice at the time, but have noticed now that the rego papers for the R32 that I bought recently has 2002 on it for the year, whilst I know that it is a 1992. I am hopefully getting it reregistered very soon, but am wondering what is the possible ramifications of this error on my rego papers? None? Could it mean something crazy like voiding my green slip due to the wrong information? Will it be a beauracratic nightmare getting the RTA to look into it? Anyone one who has experienced something like this, advice on what to do about it very welcome.

Thanks.

I don;t think it matters generally.. I've heard of other cars having wrong details on the rego papers such as hamiltonau's R33 gtst being down as a R33 gtr v spec, as well as my r33 being a sedan on the rego papers when its a coupe.. I asked a lady at the RTA to change it and she was pretty much like 'meh, it doesn't matter'..

Hmmm yeah, just a different century.

I spent weeks trying to confirm this.

i have a 96 R33 with 2006 marked rego papers. I couldn't find anyone in the RTA or an insurance company to go "yes, you are valid AND insured".

I had 3 out of 5 RTA staff members hand me change of record documents "just in case" the others gave me the RTA hotline. (What can indians tell me the RTA Teller cant??) I probably spoke to about 15+ staff members at 4 or 5 different RTA's from blacktown to Nowra.

eventually i found a family connection to an RTA inspector that said that compliance dates need to be on the rego papers and the inurance co needs the actual manufacturing date.

the simple version is that RTA work on logs on appearance in their system and Insurance works on car details or something like that.... it was explained but is much more complicated than you'd think.

I have no doubt that it is insane and complicated when it shouldn't be, that's why I came here instead of straight to the RTA. I was at my mates' working on some panels today and I had a look at the compliance plate, and it was complied and registered the first time in 08/02 so I feel a bit better about it since those dates match up.

Fark that. If someone on the other end makes a mistake, I'm not going out of my way to change it.

Eg: ATO has my birthdate wrong by one day, and I'm not writing them a letter to fix the mistake they made.

Agree - Dont worry about chasing and changing it

Also in regards of ATO - I am 2 years older lol that's a mistake

When I first registered my R34, it was listed as being a 2011 Nissan Skyline R34 GT then I got a call the following day from the Manager of that RTA telling me that I needed to come in because the trainee didn't do it properly, she didn't even take a copy of the VIA, then they issued me with a new rego label and I had to destroy the one they f**ked up.

    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!
    • Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum 
    • The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding 
    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
