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.

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
