DAN00H Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 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?

GTR-N1 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 JDM_Performance (Eugene 0421141538) and... JLM (Todd 0296383205) know about this and... it shouldn't be a problem unless there are current outstanding issues.

XKLABA Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439482-should-i-let-rego-expire-and-store-the-gtr/#findComment-7206426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN00H Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) 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.

XKLABA Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439482-should-i-let-rego-expire-and-store-the-gtr/#findComment-7206587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke gtr Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 so long as its not modified youll be fine. just a blue slip. mods will require an engineers certificate. this is where it can (not will) get difficult.

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

DAN00H Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439482-should-i-let-rego-expire-and-store-the-gtr/#findComment-7282334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
