Hi...... I have questions that I don't know where I can ask except here

1. If I have a car and I want it to respray, how much does it cost for foing it? For example, FC3S

2. according to 1), if i change its color, is it hard to tell the officer for changing the new color and how much does it cost for telling the change???

3. If I go to a garage and tell them to change its engine to a new one, is it hard to tell the change to officer? My friend told me that it is very hard because there have to be an engineer who garuntee the engine change and etc. and how much does it cost for the change????

4. How much does it cost for RWC and rego, if the car hasn't registered????

Thank you very much.

lol @ r34gtt-R abo bob for both being a wiseass..

1 & 2 - There is no paperwork to get the car resprayed or colour changed, so you can just go ahead and do that.

3. if the engine is a DIFFERENT type totally to the old one (say RB26DETT engine off a GTR) then you will need to get it fully engineered which can cost a bit. If its the SAME engine you can just pop it in, however you'll probably want to transfer the engine number to it, so both the plate and the engine number match. Vicroads can probably do that.

4. If the car hasn't been registed or is unregisted .. Vicroads needs to inspect the car before it will be registered again, and they're pretty strict about it (more than a garage) so NO modifications. A RWC is about $70, but that is just the cerficate itself if everything passes. If it don't, you gotta go get it all fixed up. After that you just pay the normal rego (i think) which is $520 or something.

This means......

If I change the color from white to grey........I can freely do it.

If I wanna change the engine , for example, RB20DET -> RB25DET/RB26DETT or 13B -> 13BT, I have to get it engineered (or not ?? :blah: ?? ).

I'm just a bit newbie of this things.......Thanks for helping me.

[2] AkEaKe, i think what you're asking is if you have to inform vic roads if u respray the car a different colour? thinking about it logically, yes, you would because when you first register a car i think you have to let them know what colour it is. if this is changed its important for identification purposes to let the "officer" (vic roads) know about it. that said i doubt many people tell vic roads

[4] stamp duty is payable at the rate of $8 for every $200 or part thereof (from memory). for my R33 GTS i piad $1025 this included one years rego + stamp duty.

Ahh bayside blue, yes he can do any colour. He just needs the paint code. What colour is your car atm? I can only assume that big $$$$$ are involved with changing the colour completely (ie going from wine to TV2) because of the extra work involved.
