Hey guys

My car is at the workshop being complied (R33) and i was under the impression that for your approx $3k for compliance, you get the car complied and thats it.

Someone else is telling me that you also get a RWC and 1 year registration included.

thats the first ive ever heard of it....anyone able to clear this up?

thanks

its a definite no as i had always thought. never heard of rego or RWC having anything to do with compliance

the car should be in a RWC state or very close to it after being complied, and rego will be the normal cost + stamp duty etc

Yup, all compliance is, is the "right" to get the car rego'ed. The RAWS scheme means that it is recognised in all states.

If the Car fails the RWC after leaving the compliance shop, then the shop could possibly

lose their RAWS licence (assuming you have'nt touched the car), as compliance means that the car "complies" with all Australian ADRs (Design rules), which , by implication, means that it is roadworthy.

However, if you've added bigger wheels, exhaust, etc... after compliance, but BEFORE the roadworthy, then there is no guarantee it will pass. Do these things AFTER you've got your rego.

I thought there was always quite a big difference between compliance and RWC.

Compliance modifies the things on your car so that it suits the adr's.. so side intrusion bars, 'unleaded fuel only' sticker, fuel ristrictor, child restraints ect ect...

whereas roadworthies are more things like, rotor and pad thickness, chips or scratches on the windscreens, tyre wear.

I had 15yr compliance only, and I know that SEVS is stricter. But is it the resposonsibility of the compliancer to make sure that the breaks and tyres and windscreen are fine too??

VicRoads will require a RWC along with the engineers certificate (VASS). It might be that the compliancer also provides the RWC, but I'd be surprised if you got a years rego also paid (not saying it's not possible tho....best talk to your compliancer about what's included in their fee).

complience only covers getting the car complied although i know of a few workshop who comply and also provide the roadworthy for the car! no rego though

    • Ouch. Out of curiosity, what are your safety parameters for the coolant and oil temp? What would  be considered dangerous?
    • Still haven't found the headlight washer? 😂 
    • Do you think a high pressure washer would work without the need to wipe?
    • Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?
    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
