Hi guys,

I have a decision to make im hoping someone could guide me in the right direction.
I currently live in nsw and have recently bought a vz ss ute from qld. I have discovered that this can be a real hassle transfering rego to nsw. The way i look at it i have 2 options:

1) Transferring rego to nsw involves getting a blue slip receipt of purchase walking into rta and transferring. The only problem here is that the ute has modifications that i would have to change back to stock such as exhaust and air intake i presume. I Will find out on monday what is required as it is booked in for a blue slip or,

2)Keep it registered in qld under my friends address. In doing this are there any problems or consequences that anyone can think of?

I will let you know how the blue slip goes..

What to do??

You do know we have Safety Certificates in QLD? and you would need one to transfer the ute into your name anyways...

I would just do it the correct way because if you don't live extremely close to the boarder the car, with QLD Plates on will probably end up attracting some attention from the police eventually.

Thats a good point I'm approx 300km south of the border, the rego runs out late February which should give me enough time to fix any blue slip defects and transfer it. Would i require a RWC from QLD if im getting a NSW blueslip anyway?

Dose anyone know the consequences of leaving it QLD registered?

For any transfer of ownership of a registered motor vehicle needs a RWC. The seller should have provided one if they sold it to you with rego left.

You might aswell just get a blueslip straight away and cancel the QLD rego.

I wasn't provide with one. I admit i was a little rushed into things and should have done my research before buying.

It's the seller's responsibility to provide one when disposing of a motor vehicle, not the buyers. You're not the one at fault, they broke the law.

Evidently, as you said; it wouldn't have passed. Which is probably why they didn't provide one.

Would you want to have to explain to the cops that you live at a different address than your cars registered address, every single time you are pulled over? They'd drag you over the coals for sure. If you have defects you'd want to draw as little attention to yourself as possible.

Just do it properly...

To get the blue slip the OTR intake has to be changer back to the stock airbox and the dual 3" exhaust has to be changed back to the original exaust. Im not sure as to how the car will run with these mods taken back to stock on the current maffless tune. Its a vz ss ute running a 237/243 cam.

Can you even transfer insterstate rego's ? I know from another state to QLD you can't. You have to de-reg it and then redo the process ?

They shouldn't need to drive the car to do a blue slip.. do you have mobile mechanics who provide blue slips? If so, put a standard airbox on. The exhaust side of things is easy, it it has a flange past the cats buy a new piece which has a rear resonator..or if its a split twin system buy one for each side.. that will quiet it down a bit.

Up here a rwc can be a bit more lenient (spelling) if you are transferring the car into your name rather than selling it. Not sure bout down there though

If he's selling to someone interstate he does not need to provide a RWC.

There are only 4 places in town that provide blueys and none are mobile that i know of. The mechanic did mention the exhaust and air box had to be back to standard unfortunately..

Well that is unfortunate..Just dont plug the afm in when you put the standard airbox in. As it may idle weird its its been mafless tuned.

If i were you id buy the rear resonators, put a standard airbox on and drive it to a different mechanic..changing the exhaust to standard is a big fuck around especially if you have to buy it just to get a blue slip..

If it's basicly just an exhaust and intake you should pass a blue slip. Providing the exhaust isn't too loud. If it's got a pod filter, unless it's a growler type arangement just piss it off.

Conciquences of keeping it in your friends name if you get caught are there. I'd rego it to him and just say you're borrowing it ect if you take that road.

If you keep it QLD rego and you don't transfer it you can be fined for driving and unregistered vehicle because the car is illegally registered in your name (or not if you never transferred it)

Incorrect - My cousins that live in ACT use to live in Townsville, they have a 98 Toyota that has been there for the last 10 years with QLD plates/Rego. They've never been pulled up for it. Also my father had QLD plates when he had to go down to wagga for a yew years, never did he get pulled up once.

i recently had my car put into nsw rego and it was a monster fuk around...

it came with QLD rego and no rwc, drove it down from brisbane to sydney and used it to and from work for a good 2 months before i had it trasnferred into nsw rego, got pulled up by cops 4 times and they never said anything about the qld plates, just that i change my address on my licence.

to transfer qld rego over to nsw doesnt work. because it's comming from qld the rego is invalid and requires you to get the car passed with a current blue slip, green slip & 12 months registration...

i had to have the lowered springs removed and factory suspension put back in, new airbox and wheels.

Blue slip: $500
Green slip: $697.40
12mths rego: $350 (i think)

didnt like the fuk around but i have 12months rego now so i guess im happy...

So it wasnt a problem not having the RWC? Im feeling your pain dude i just cant wait till its all over and done with and ive got some white and black plates on it. Did you have to cancel the qld rego before the nsw rego went through?

No. A RWC from Qld for a NSW transfer is useless.

You can leave it Qld rego'd if you want. I drive a car with WA plates in Vic, never been pulled up. Even at a booze bus when looking over my license, I don't get questioned. Don't hold me to it, but I believe it means you cannot get defected either in NSW for Qld plates. But I can't put money on that.

Depends on which state to where. I looked into transferring rego's from one state to another, and I didn't need to provide a RWC (WA plates changing to Vic plates). However a mate of mine transferred his NSW plates to Vic, cost him thousands in repairs for the RWC plus all transfer costs. Best to speak to your authorial body before making any decisions.

I think that price included the repairs (ie, springs etc).

QLD rego is half the price of nsw and doesn't have any of those pink slips etc, just keep the QLD rego and get a dodgy roadie.

I lived in Sydney for 2 years on QLD rego, was only an issue once or twice and I just said I'm a fulltime student in NSW but that I live in QLD and go back there in the holidays. (which was partly true)

That doesn't mean I'm incorrect you tard it just means they haven't been pulled over. I think a VZ SS with modification would attract more attention than a "98 Toyota". I once went 80 in a 60 zone and didn't get pulled up but that doesn't make it legal. bowrofl.gif

$1200 wow. Makes you think it might have been easier to buy one already registered in NSW or atleast a stock one even.

Ahhh Yup! Definitely. But now that its all done i really have no regrets because I'm overly happy with the car and have a few plans for it in the near future. The transfer was the killer i think it was near $700 i should have lied about the sale price.
