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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
