So I'm thinking about letting the rego expire on my GTR and storing it for a few years. With two other vehicles, and another in the build I'm just not driving it and it's sitting in the car capusal until rego time. I've queried the RMS about expired rego and awaiting a response - anyone had experience trying to re-rego after a few years? I'm not interested in selling it, but thinking the $700+ on rego alone is expensive for one day!

Thoughts?

It's just a blue slip to re rego, so providing your car will pass a blue slip let it go if you can't justify paying it every year

I had heard that it was going to be a more difficult process than that for imports. I spoke to an inspector and he advised new rules meant another engineering certification along with stringent requirements? that scared me off last time and I just got it re-regoed to avoid any nightmares like that...

I'll provide an update once I hear back from RMS.

I bought my 34 from the ACT and it had to be regoed here which is considered a new rego and all they had to do was get the import number from the tag then blue slip and done, given your car is a NSW rego they should be able to just use the old rego plate number

AFAIK it depends on what import scheme the car was brought in under. My car doesnt have the compliance plate, so from what I understand will be a big PITA if i have to re-register after expiry. Other schemes it wont be such a big deal.

I know that's vague, but i would assume if its been brought in under the currect scheme, it will meet the current rules, so you'll be ok. If its been brought in under any other, there's some risk.

Hi i just read your post i de registered my skyline a year ago and i want to register it this june. is there a lot of paperwork involved?

Hi Sofi

I actually ended up continuing with the rego on my gtr (despite the fact it is driven 2 - 3 times a year), however assuming you are looking to re-register in NSW it is simply a matter of following the processes detailed at this link

http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/registration/expiredcancelled/cancelledrego.html

I had this sent to me by one of the RMS staff, and I also called the contact centre to confirm over the phone.

essentially - you should not encounter any problems with re-registering your car :)

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
