Licensing My New Stag

[MRO]

My Stagea is arriving on the boat in Perth on the 11th of December and i hope to pick it up on the 12th. I really want to drive it straight to the licencing centre and get the plates. I heard you have to wait all day at Welshpool. Any suggestions from those in WA where to take the car to minimise time and hassle?

Is it a personal import, if not it will need to have a compliance plate whacked onto it by a compliance workshop...........?

[MRO]

Compliance has already been completed in Brisbane.

Ah kool, when I saw "off the boat" I assumed it was off a boat from japan

our two stageas got done at welshpool..we got there early in the morning and were home couple hours later after everything had been check and plates issued and everything else if your taking it straight from the boat to the licensing centre make sure you have a temp permit..dont want to get pulled over by the cops

I'm not sure about WA but in NSW it is legal to drive an unregistered car for the purpose of getting registration

pretty sure u need to get a permit in WA to drive it to the licensing centre

[Wildcat]

here in WA you need a temp permit to drive it to the license centre..if you want to make sure check the website or ring up---

yes u need the permit its about $15 to get one and u can speed everywhere with no plates on and get flashed by multinovas and no one gives a shit haha, also dont goto warwick pits as they are wankers and ive heard welshpool and east perth are reasonable and not picky as hell. allow a few hours at the pits and get there early as suggested.

I have put a couple of cars and bikes over the pits at Kelmscott over the last few years and I have always found them really easy to deal with, and the guys that I have dealt with all seem to be really clued in to what they are doing. Where ever you decide to go, just remember that your attitude will have a large part to play in exactly how anal they will be, so play nice, use your manners and you will be fine.

i went over in oconnor it only took 1 hour of waiting and the actual inspection took 10 mins total

make sure you have the ORIGINAL copy of your invoice from the supplier in japan they were really anal about it no copies or printouts

[IMPORTD]

choose a spot like Kalgoorlie where they've only seen ONE stagea before (mine lol) My car was passed without a cat gotta love the country folk

[CruiseLiner]

yer kylie is right ive heard if u go out to some quiet pits that dont do many cars they are really easy to get through with mods, but i dont think thats an issue if the car has just been complied as it will be stock anyway

[mcnamg]

depends on the officer inspecting your car and your attitude mine was passed with 18 inch rims on it and he told me that as it was a personal car and not a dealers car he would pass it but technically its a fail as its not stock

on the transport website there is a list of all the places that do it that are private contractors they would probably be easier to go through
