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).

    • If by axles you mean driveshafts, they're supposed to have play in them. They are not hard to recondition, it's just pulling apart the cv's, cleaning them and regreasing, fit new boots. I've only rebuilt one set and there was fk-all wear in them, still running just fine 8 years later.
    • Note, the aluminium bit that screws in the end that you have to remove to dismantle the rack is single use as it's punch-marked, it will strip when you unscrew it, and then you have to flatten the notch in the steel rack body, screw in a new aluminium end when rebuilding, then punch-mark it again once assembled. it is also 'somewhat tricky' to refit the rack>steering wheel linkage gear as it needs to be set to the right preloads etc. A rebuild is probably something that's better just given to a steering shop for a couple of hundred, unless you're mad-keen to do it yourself. 
    • Do you have the workshop Manuel? Sorry that's a Spanish waiter...I mean, manual? Some relevant pages>
    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
