Vic Reg Of An Interstate Modified Car

[mcmn]

Hello,

I'm looking at the possibility of purchasing a modified car from Queensland. Its fairly extensivly modified. What would i need to look out for, and furthermore what issues would i face regsitering this car in Victoria?

Thanks.

Paul.

technically it doesnt matter how modified it is...as far as i'm aware you'd just need to get it roadworthied in victoria, then take it to vic roads to be registered for the first time....

technically speaking if you know someone in the industry that does RWC's, you could do it without too much trouble....but by the sounds of the car you mentioned it'd probably be quite un roadworthy and therefore what i mentioned above would be illegal and definitely not advised

even if you get a roadworthy

if you're unlucky, the vic roads guys will check the car, and if youre even unluckier, they will know about imports and modifications

you'd have to be pretty unlucky...the guys that did mine (there were 2 as i had to go back on 2 occasions because of a wanker writing a RWC wrong) said that 95% of the cars they check were skylines....then he asked if it was turbo etc...purely out of interest.

they checked the engine number, build plate etc, handed over the cash, gave me my plates and drove home....

they're VERY thorough with the RWC itself...all the numbers have to be perfect etc....so double check all that to save yourself any hassle

Anywhere doing a legit RWC wont pass a modified car unless it comes with an engineers for mechanical mods.

EPA ones are just a flat out no-no.

Good luck, sometimes you will be able to, sometimes you wont.

Thats the gamble, then theres the fun if you get pulled over driving it later on
