Renewing Rego Question Cars Not In Home State

[r34_skyline]

Hey guys, i was wondering if any1 could help me out and give me some advice. I've recently taken time off work to travel to Melbourne for a month. I'm originally from Sydney and took my parent's 2003 Commo with me to Melbourne. Ok, rego arrived last week and my parents phoned me up saying the car requires an inspection(pinkslip) to renew the rego. Problem is, i won't be bak for another month and the rego expires in 2weeks.

Do i get a pinkslip in Melbourne ? or do i need to drive bak and get the inspection done ?(i seriously cannot drive bak as this would overlap my planned schedules).

i had a look on the RTA website and it says a vehicle is exempt from inspection if the vehicle is "WITHIN" 3yrs of the compliance date and month. if this is correct, shouldn't my inspection be next yr as i'm still "within" the 3yrs period ? 2003-2006 = 3yrs

help, please !

no you aren't still exempt from an inspection. the 3 years has ended. the compliance date will have already past, since it isn't done the day the car is registered. it is done when the car is made.

as for the pink slip, i'd give the rta a call tomorrow and ask them about it.

I think the first thing to be noted is that Victoria does not require annual inspections for rego renewal. So, as such, there is no 'pink slip' system in place.

Victoria does have a RWC (roadworthy certificate) system in place that is only relevant when selling a car. That might be possible to use in this case.

Failing that, you only have to go as far as Albury to obtain a 'pink slip'.

It would be better to consult the (NSW) RTA to find out what needs to be done in your case.
