Need Help For Registering Skyline In Victoria

[perzn_34]

Hey guys im thinking of buying a r34 from NSW. The guy initially bought the skyline from Melbourne

HKS bolt on turbo

Apexi N1 pod

Nismo fly wheel

3.5' full except dump which is stock

hks front adjustable coilovers

koni rear coilovers/shocks

Cusco rear sway bar

when the guy bought it from Melbourne he had to get a engineer certificate to get the car register in NSW, so now when i need to get this registered back in Victoria do i need to get any engineer certificate or anything?

do i just need a roadworthy certificate and just take it to vicroads and register it??

does vicroads also inspect the car?

and one last thing, most the mods above are unroadworthy is that right?

any help would be much appreciated, cheers

[ylwgtr2]

put on a standard airbox and exhaust and go rego it

i have a family friend who would give me a rwc if i want i for my self, is that all i need who vicroads wants to check it out and pick on things?

[boostn0199]

Depends on your luck if vicroads will look through the car and depends how much the guy checking knows. But I know when vicroads to check skylines there getting on top of coilovers now and mainly cut hole for intercooler so thats something to keep in mind other than that I would put the stock airbox if you have a cooler.

[KamikazeNinja34]

Your turbo and pretty much everything you listed has to be swapped for stock. Vicroads will inspect any vehicle being brought in for initial registration...ie. Anything not already registered in Victoria. The only real legal modification is a pod provided you haven't also changed the intercooler.

[perzn_34]

nor me or the seller has any stock parts, wat if i get a appointment at a vicroads in the bush where no one has ever seen a skyline... like lylidale areaish haha

ive registered plenty of VIV vehicles and all they check is the engine number that's it.

[KamikazeNinja34]

Viv is different. You're not bringing in a car from an entirely different state. They have a full history of Victorian repairable write offs up to the point where the write off was entered.

For the record, lilydale tmu are well trained, so why wouldn't the vicroads who have to put up with all their canaries be as well?

Don't be an idiot about it im just giving you the honest truth. All of those items are defectable and unroadworthy. If you find someone to do a dodgy rwc and then they inspect the car and see all that shit on there not only will they tell u to gtfo and pay another booking fee when you come back, you'll get your mechanic in shit for providing a fraudulent document.

They went over my currently registered skyline with a fine toothed comb for a height defect. How do u think they're going to react to what is essentially a foreign car to them?

Stop kidding yourself and be realistic.

Don't you have the engineers cert the old owner had? What does it cover?

[KamikazeNinja34]

nsw engineers certs mean as much to vicroads as nsw roadworthies.

f*ck all.

IF for some reason they let it past on an engineer's, itd have to be victorian. but buckleys chance on that too usually. cuz they'll just send you an EPA. and you cant tell them its ok that your emissions are higher than everybody elses cuz some guy in a workshop said it was safe to drive.

welcome to victoria, where registering, insuring, and in general owning a car is the most painful experience known to man.

[Miguelone]

Ahh ok, I always thought engineers certs were universal. What a fuck around.

[Mohsen]

stock airbox and exhaust and away you go.

they're just going to check the numbers

i just swapped a mazda rx4 from sydney to vic reg car had a nsw engineers report for a ford 9 inch disc brake diff,series 5 turbo engine and change of front brakes.....i didnt even have to take the car there

I bought my car from qld. Fuel rail, injectors turbos, exhaust power fc, cam gears etc etc and they didn't even want to look at it. Just call up, tell them you bought a car from nsw and ask whats needed to be done..they most likely won't check it unless its been in an accident before or was a defect machine in melbourne

[R31Nismoid]

Depends on who does the inspection on the day as to what will/won't pass etc.

airbox and exhaust should be all you'll need. the other stuff isn't really noticeable.

in my experience,

if you can keep it Regoed in NSW, Get a Vic RWC attend Vicroads and Transfer the NSW rego to Vic rego. (Give them the NSW plates)

Job done.

we just did it with a VIV registered 34 and that was the advice from Vic roads,

[KURAUN]

Yeah its not as hard as people think

Cass you had a defect its completely different to an interstate transfer

Of course they will go over the car when u take it to vicroads clearing a defect

Yep, exactly what happened with me

Also depends on what vicroads you go to and who's working there. I've been defected twice for height and once for tyres. They only ever checked the car once and that was for tyres. My most recent was height in the gtr, guy at vicroads basically said the cops were kents for giving me a major just for height. He then he stamped it and i went on my way, didn't check it at all.

also, when we got my first car which was unregistered they also had to inspect it. from what i was led to believe at the time they did, do or can treat an interstate car the same way

my boyfriend took my car to Burwood when it gone done with a major for height given theyre usually pretty lax about checking it. they also sympathised at having a major put on for height. but said to him, they dont need to check the car for a major defect. unless its for height.

hmmm very interesting on different experiences. Im transferring my license to south australia o be able to drive it on my p plates and going to keep the nsw plates on it for a while and before it expires ill just get the plates to transfer to melb.

and oh did i say i use to own this car before in melb

Hey mate I bought a modded GTR (turbo, injectors, fuel pump, ECU etc) from NSW a year or so ago. it still had NSW rego, so all i needed to do was to get a RWC and then just hand the details into VicRoads, because it was already registered under NSW they basically just swapped the details over and there was no need for an inspection. I was also worried I would get reamed if it was to go through an inspection but all was fine.
