Issue dealing with Skyline

[SliM]

hi dudes, was wondering if i could get a answer to my question.

I live in Sydney but am thinking of buying a Skyline from another state, most likely QLD or ViC. My question is to register them from their state to my state , so that they r registered as a NSW vechile, do i have to get it registered as if it was a new car and expect to pay alot of money or can i just register it over as renewing a NSW registration every year.

Sorry in advance to admin if this shoulda been posted elsewhere, wasnt sure where to ask it.

I just had to do the same thing, i got my car from brisbane and i live in adelaide.

when u get the car back to your home state, its just a matter of taking your car to motor registration, then u will have to get the car inspected. Once your car is inspected and all is road worthy, u will be able to buy plates on the spot for around $26.00 each. (may differ in different states). You will still have to pay rego, and stamp duty, which is never cheap!!

Goodluck......

FIrstly, this isn't a "Skyline" issue.

Registration issues apply to all vehicles (believe it or not)

You can't transfer registration between states.

You will need to supply the RTA (or whoever deals with registrations in NSW) with current roadworthy certificate, proof of ownership, and any other paperwork that they require.

The internet is a wonderful thing....

hate to get picky. anyway, i think its just a matter of registering it and paying stamp duty and rwc etc., in the state you bought it, drive it back home, get all the paperwork you'd need to register a "new car" in nsw, go to rta and pay the transfer fee and plates and no stamp duty. tip: get your car weighed, the rta wanted to put me in the 1500 - 1899kg (?) bracket, but i was able to prove my car only weighs 1320kg. saved me around 100bux a year i think. i was only paying 480/yr for rego in nsw!

register it in the state you buy it... take it back to your state, drive it for three months and then transfer the registration over to NSW.

I did that with my car (the 180sx) bought it in melb, then took it back to NSW and then just swapped rego over 3 months later. You're allowed to drive a car with interstate plates for 3 months.

Check with your local authority because different states have different rules. Also I remember reading somewhere that NSW charges stupid $ for such a purchase from other states so the money you save buying interstate will go towards the RTA. But still, check with them first.
