Buying An Already Complied Vehicle From Interstate?

[[mez]]

Thought i'd make a thread about with a bit of advice, after having troubles myself with changing registration over (in QLD) after buying an already complied (under 15 year rule) skyline from NSW. I needed to get an LO1 Mod plate here (in QLD) in order to get it registered in my name - costing at minimum $150.

When changing registration from previous owner in:

QLD - If previously complied and registered in NSW you will need: A Roadworthy Certificate, Certificate of Previous Registration, an LO1 Mod Plate (Australian Design Rule Compliance Plate - Only attainable from a qualified Engineer), if the vehicle is not already equipped with a compliance plate.

To get the LO1 Mod Plate in QLD you will most probably need: Copy of original Import Approval letter from RTA (NSW), New seat belts for all seats that are ADR approved (not required in NSW), possibly a child restraint/seat mounting point behind each rear seat and possibly bigger/stronger side intrusion bars.

VIC - Interstate Vehicle Registration: http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Regist...egistration.htm

Imported Vehicle Registration: http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Regist...egistration.htm

SA - if you know this info please add

If you know what the requirements are when changing registration over from interstate into your state, please add them below and i'll update this post. Trying to list all requirements for all states.

Cheers.

As said, LO1 is a plate to confirm compliance with ADRs. The equivalent in NSW would be a Engineers Certificate.

For registering an import in NSW:

i bought my car from vic (im in sa) she was already complied just not registered, so all that happened was it went to regency, got approved and then went to motor rego place showed them the regency paperwork to say the car was roadworthy and got her registered. that was all that happened

dont too sure what would have happened if she was registered under vic plates though

Anyone know if you can get an unregistered car complied in NSW and then bring it down to VIC for registration?

Or are the compliancing standards different in NSW and you would have to get it complied again in VIC?

It depends on the compliance scheme you are looking at. It should be okay but with some minor qualifications.

SEVS would generally be okay, 15 year / personal import schemes have slightly different requirements from state to state, may need some minor additional work.

But something like this is pretty common e.g. for SEVS cars which no compliance workshop exists in your state. You'd get it complied in that state, and shipped to your state after that for initial registration.
