Imports Through Dickson

[Baconer]

they keep changing there minds with my car, ive had 3 phone calls in the last 2 days. Its never been registered in Australia so at first they said i needed an ID so i go from tuggers to dickson, dickson tell me i need a roadworthy so i head to mitchell, mitchell says i need an ID so back to dickson, dickson agrees with that this time so i book in for Thursday. Dickson calls and says only RWC needed, calls again and asks some questions and decides ID needed, calls again this morning and says RWC only. I just want my goddam car to be driving on the freaking roads damit!

Sounds alot like me, only i still had Vic rego on it.

Get an ID, then get a RWC - stop listening to them, it will only make your head hurt.

They don't even know the rules, if you can research them yourself, you'll be better off.

i thought dickson do RWC's

i found this to be a problem too, but not to that extent. its annoying when you hear a thousand different things of how to get your car road worthy and registered and your common sence tells you "ask dickson motor registry themselves, they should know, after all, its there job." so you do, and you then get another thousand different answers.

feeling like a ping-pong ball, going back and forth with different info each time, isnt fun

I am bit scared now Nugget lol. I was going to get it imported and regoed straight here but have now changed it to get complied and regoed in NSW then all I have to do is bring it over Dickson by way of state transfer on the rego but sounds like that is going to be such a hassle too

Would you mind please sending me a PM on the company that did your NSW work just so that you don't see a post up here in a month or so saying a story like yours?

i will look at the papers tonight and pm you, not sure off the top of my head that all

[Guest 180Chick]

Awesome, thank you very much for the trouble Now drawing out the importing process until I get everything on this side (Australia) ready for the baby to come through hehe.

I called the mitchell RWC place again because he seemed to understand more then Dickson and he said just do what dickson says but if they screw it up blame it on them and they should fix it up on the spot.

[Guest 180Chick]

But will Dickson back down and let you blame it on them?

[Baconer]

Ive got the names of the 2 people from dickson who told me different answers so ill let them sort it out

[Guest 180Chick]

Ok cool Sounds good! Just did not want it causing you more hassles and stress!!

Just because they are at fault doesn't mean you will be out of the woods.

Dickson is useless.

My Advice, move to queanbeyan - at least in NSW they are consistently useless.

Have to count myself lucky I suppose, considering what was done to my car,I was only failed once and fixed the issues they highlighted. Just transferred rego to ACT today

Well ive got my inspection at Dickson this morning, wish me luck, can guarantee something else is going to happen to stop me driving this car...

[Bluprint]

Good luck, be sure to let us know how it goes....

I'll be interested in some of your feedback, I'll have to send my car there once engineering is sorted

[sigsputnik]

yep, same - post back with your results

[Guest 180Chick]

Goodluck!

My car won't have to go over for a couple of months by the time it gets here so make sure you boys be nice to them so they are nice and friendly by the time I get to them hehe.

[Baconer]

bloody hell.... failed because my wheels were 12mm larger then spec and i didnt have a tare weight of vehicle.

Wheels are my fault, it slipped my mind that id need the stock wheels for first time rego... Basically ive got 2 choices, drive to melbourne or get the stock wheels deleivered to home (shitloads of money) or get an engineers report ($300).

Ohwell i had fun driving my car around, guess it goes back under cover for another week or 2 till i get everything sorted. Already used 2 of the 3 day registrations your allowed so this is gonna be fun.

**EDIT**

Does anyone have 4 stock r33 wheels with enough tread to pass rego, will pay to borrow them for an hour or 2

Edited October 26, 2006 by Baconer

[Guest 180Chick]

Can't you just borrow someone's stock wheels to get over?

[sigsputnik]

yeh what jo said. i have some 4 studs you could've used if you had an n/a

[leech_]

i have pm'd you my number give me a call if it's 5 stud ones which i think yours would be seeing as your sig says "96' R33 S2 GTST"

Cheers Leigh

[Guest 180Chick]

Yeah I about to say you could borrow my spare rims but I am thinking you got that extra stud than me hehe.

I am sure someone can lend you some stocks to get over the pits so don't stress about it You will get it over soon
