Finally - Act Registered.

[nsanity]

After almost 6 weeks, my car is registered in ACT.

/relief.

[Sauce]

Good to see you got it all under control Rego can be a real bitch, which I also found out (though to a lesser extent)

[nsanity]

between my engineer and the Chief Technical Officer at Dickson having a little war - with my R33 in the middle - Dickson's anal retentiveness and the sheer cost of things

[leech_]

good to hear nsanity did your problems have anything to do with your sig ???

"R33 GTS-T - Bought as '95, Complied as '98, VIN says '93, Car appears '95."

Kinda sounds like what I'm sort of going through, though I'm not quite at the stage of talking about it that way

[JaiJai]

So happy Im still keeping my QLD rego, no Ps, no analism...

[Terminal]

i didn't go anywhere near dickson when i transferred my stagea from NSW to ACT. didn't have nay problems, Marc did it all for me at Discount tyres. said everything was up to scratch even with all my mods... i don't know why everyone goes to dickson all the time, they're sea hunts.

nope. According to the Inspection report - the car is a 98. The end apparently.

And Leshy - as said in the previous thread - the rules have changed, you must go to dickson to get your car ACT Registered the first time now - no if's but's or maybe's.

[Baconer]

uh oh...

Heading down to Melbourne this tuesday coming to pick up an R33 GTST S2... guess i have to go over dickson pits :X Never heard a good thing about that place

It's a good feeling having plates eh.

Weird what you say about the Dickson thing, mine didn't go over Dickson... I though having the (compliance) plate on the car was enough? Aside from everything else that constitutes a roadworthy car that is.

[Amaru]

The compliance plate just means certain things on the car have been modified to meet ADR's, not that its roadworthy.

To the letter of the law, new registrations or transfer of registrations on imports must go over Dickson... but it doesnt seem to be enforced that much.

However, most people I know who didnt go over Dickson have gotten "random" re-inspection letters in the mail not long after.

[Sauce]

Does that include transferring from one ACT owner to another or only interstate transfers? I bought my car locally and never went over dickson and haven't had any issues.

interstates.

if it wasn't immeadiately previously registered within the ACT (i.e does it currently have ACT plates) you must go over at dickson.

i registered mine in the ACT in March, has it changed since then?

Understood a compliance plate doesn't make a car roadworthy, it makes it Australian compliant at the time the plate was fixed to the car.

If they have to go over Dickson, why is there an 'establish' (ie. start registration in ACT - rather than transfer) tick box for authorised inspection stations to tick? I have registered 10+ cars in ACT from out of state through non-Dickson inspection stations, fingers crossed I don't get audited this time (not that I have anything to hide).

Ok bought my 32 in syd last month, got rego check, fixed issues, handed in HCR320 plates and paid monies got ACT rego TODAY ! YAYAY !!!!!

I had no problems with having to go to dickson .. car has usual "mods" but different story for my FJ20 Datsun 1600 that took years and thousands to have engineered and registered.

Jus depends on your luck on the day i reckon.

For interests sake, what mods does it have that they didn't mind? (Not that it's conclusive or consistent of Dickson to write a book on).
