Rego Question - Nsw Rego Using Vic Docs

[Liz]

Ok - this is going to be confusing, but I'll do my best to explain it

I'm visiting from NSW, and whilst I was down here, my engine blew, ran out of rego etc etc etc. I'm trying to renew my NSW REgo whilst I was down here..... I did an engine swap too.

I was told I'd need a RWC only.. detailing the new numbers, they'd rego it and all would be good. I'd need to provide a copy of the receipt too.... fax it to the RTA, pay the money and away i go.

So I've done all that, and now they are claiming that because the RWC has the new engine numbers on it, they won't rego it (even though they previously said it'd suffice for an adjustment of records (which is how we change engine numbers)).

Is there any form of documentation in melbs for just an engine number change that I may be able to supply the RTA with??

Basically they told me there isn't anything else they'd accept (but they've been wrong already, so they're probably wrong again) and I'd have to get an unrego'd car permit, drive it to NSW to get a NSW blue slip.

So annoying... but anyone got any ideas?

Yes, get it from your local Vicroads office.

that I may be able to supply the RTA with??

Don't know if RTA will accept it, but it's all we southerners have got.

[Liz]

get what from the Vic Roads office?

what's it called? From what I can tell, all you have to do for your engine number change is attend a VIcRoads inspection... is that not correct? is there a form done in it's place?

Change of description form

So, you need a NSW pink slip - is that right?

[Liz]

nope - I need to know what the vic people used to change an engine number over and whether they require an inspection (other than RWC) to be undertaken, and from what I understand they do!

which sucks for me

[N1GTR]

Yea that sucks

Get the Change of Description form, fill out the Change of Engine section, take the form and the car to a Vicroads office. Vicroads will confirm the detail on the form, mainly engine number matches doco.

A RWC is not required.

[Liz]

lol.

ok well i do need an RWC because the RTA asked for one lol. In NSW an inspection takes place every year.. the RWC is in place of the NSW pink slip (yearly inspection)

I might just run that form by them without an vic rodas inspection.. that makes me nervous
