Hey guys, Im going to be purchasing a R33 GTST within the next couple of weeks and I was wondering if I needed any extra or special paperwork when I change the car into my name? I have heard that vicroads can be a bit hard to deal with regarding imports.

As far as I know I need a Roadworthy cert. and change of ownership form!

Any assistance would be great

Thanks guys

It's just a R33 , they will ask what they would ask to a maxima or a 350z.... same thing applies..

Who will be doing RWC ?

If it has already been registered in VIC by previous owner than it not such a drama. Normal procedure I think.

Only if it's first time registration then you need:

DOTARS import approval

RWC

Proof of ownership (Invoice for car)

Engineering Certificate

And a bit of luck on your side...

When I got mine done (1st Owner in Oz) I had to make a special appointment to see VIC roads to get it registered, and all the importers in VIC had the appointments booked up for like two weeks. I had to goto Frankston to get it registered, and the guy was way dumb. He thought my car was a 200sx.

All you need is the transfer of ownership and RWC from past 30 days. If your lucky, the owner will have it done, or will do it once you make a payment.

Just make sure you have the tranfer fee. I forget the percentage, but will cost you a couple of hundred bucks. If it wasnt such a modern car, you could ask them to make the receipt for cheap ass, to save some dosh.

Shouldnt be any harder than a regular car. The sting will be the insurance. get some quotes , and then activate it the day you take delivery of the car. But dont be fooled with mainstream insurer etc.

I was going to get the car put in my dads name, coz racv were offering a rate 500 less than me. come D day, the computer rejected it processing it =[

Had to ring other insurance company at last minute.

Last note, if the car has blow off valves etc, anything to annoy RWC you better get that sorted first.

As mentioned above, if it has already been registered in Australia then it should be the same as any other car...

I bought mine (first owner in Aus) and basically told the guy i bought it off that i would pay him when the car was in my name... i made the appointment at vic roads, (the car had to go through the pits) and the seller came with me, i took a bank cheque for the agreed amount and when vic roads said everything was ok, i handed over the money...

i needed quite a bit of paperwork for the car as well (which the seller provided) so just be careful...

But Heath, Vicroads only employs esteemed professionals...

Quote the sale price as 15K as thats what you could get away with reasonably if it was stock....cough no thats not a 2535 turbo...its standard fitment my good man...

I think its 4% of the sale price, and transfer fee which is less than $100. They wont even look at your car in the fleh they just do the paperwork. The dramas people have when going to Vicroads that you would have heard of is when the car is unregistered.

Should be no probs, just get to the reg office fist thing in the morning as come 10am it gets busy.

PS cant wait to go for a spin in the new monster, it sounds awesome from the specs. Let me know if you want those bits and pieces : )

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
