Hi All

Has anyone removed a private plate from a car and held that plate on retention but claimed the remaining rego back, can it even be done without relinquishing the plate?

If the plate is deregistered, I believe you can but if the plate is staying with the owner, not the car, is the bit I am not sure on.

Have searched the Vic Roads website but nothing explicitly on that.

Am guessing most people would transfer a private plate from one vehicle straight to another so it would make no sense claiming back.

:)

Personal Plates stay with the owner.

That wasnt the question Rav, I know they stay with the owner as I have a couple of sets.

Question was, can I claim back the months unused without relinquishing the plates. If I hand the plates back to Vic Roads, I can claim the remaining months but I don't want to hand them back. I don't want to effectively pay rego on plates that are not on a car (over 11 months worth).

Yea iam pretty sure you can because the plates are singed over in your name you should have some paper work with the plates. and they just cancel the rego. You can still hold on to the plates even if they are not in currant rego.

My mate personal plates have been of his car for ages just seating in his room.

There isnt any paperwork with the plates, I have asked for a certificate on previous occasions but on those occasions, the rego has coincidently just about expired so haven't bothered claiming. The nearest I could get to a certificate was a stamp with the time and date on and the initials of the Vic Roads guy saying I had been issued with standard plates.

Might just have to call up and see but didnt want to have to sit in a phone queue if I didnt have to. Am guessing to do it, they would take the rego label off me as it is paid until Feb next year.

Damn - no correct answer!

Answer is, you can't, you can claim the rego on plates being given back as they are no longer in use and not being substituted for any other plates.

You can't claim the personal rego plate $$ back otherwise the new ones going on would have nothing paid against them.

Thread can be closed/locked :teehee:

Thats a bit stupid...

I always thought that seeing as you pay a price in full for the plate to be made up initially and rego is for the vehicle for 12months. If you have 3months left on rego and the vehicle is going to be de-registered you then claim 3months back as the plates have already been payed for in full. :)

Not stupid because that is what you can do.

What you can't do is transfer rego, then claim the paid part back from the one you transferred over as it would make the new one invalid as there was no money on it (might take a few reads to understand :ermm: )

You should be able to swap your numberplates for standard ones on your car (but obviously hold onto your custom plates). Once the standard ones are on, then deregister the car and claim back left over rego.

Don't a lot of people buy a set of plates and simply hold onto them. They never actually get put onto a car. Plates like 'GTHO'. Then they come up for sale for ridiculous $$$.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
