kalel Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hey guys, I have just moved from SA and I need to change my licence plates and rego over to Vic ones. Where can I get my car inspected by an Authorised vic roads inspector that will do import cars? cheers Dan.

iamhe77 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Just get your car roadworthied and make an appointment at your local VicRoads office. Take the roadworthy in to the appointment. You may need to have someone at VicRoads look at you car (I didn't, but my mate did). My car was previously registered in NSW, but my mates was not registered at all. If that is all I needed for a car that was not even on Redbook or Glasses at the time, I am pretty damn sure that your '33 will be fine. Fyi, my car went to VicRoads in Dandenong and my mates M35 was done at the Frankston office.

I rang kmart tyre and auto and they don't do imports. I need to find someone around the kensington/flemington/north melbourne area that will give me a roadworthy certificate. My car is stock accept for a pod filter so I don't anticipate any real issues and I had it fully checked out by a mechaninc before I drove over. Names and numbers would be greatly appreciated.

iamhe77 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Go to a smaller mechanic. Most will do a roadworthy. Forget larger chains, they have too many cars and not enough time to spend on something "different". I had my RWC done in Pakenham... They ONLY deal with Falcodores... But also build large capacity drag cars. They did not even know that the Stagea (any model) existed and only thought that a Skyline was either a R31 or "Godzilla". EDIT: Forgot to mention, if your pod is uncovered, it won't get passed. Put the stock box back on for your RWC.... unless you find a mech that will overlook it (doubtful).

kalel Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Cheers guys, I found a guy on Macauly rd that does inspections (silver repair serivce) and he doesn't care about the fitted pod filter. He's like, if I make you change it in front of me, what's to make you change it back 5 minutes after I have given you the certificate. So it looks all good.

iamhe77 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Glad to hear it. Now just remember to take your patience and a stress ball to VicRoads.
