Act Roadworthy Questions

[Anfanee]

Thought id throw this up... Considering everywhere you talk to tells you shit differently. Anyone that has a question bang it here and someone may no the correct answer.

Mine is... If you buy a dieline or any import for that matter from interstate can you get RWC anywhere in the act or does it have to go to dickson? Also whats the rule with FMICs?

Cheers

When I moved from Perth to here my GTR was registered in WA. I took it to Ultimate Tunes, they did an inspection etc. I took the paperwork to Woden and had the plates swapped over that day.

Not sure about the FMIC.

I believe it's *SUPPOSED* to go to Dickson, however if you get somewhere else to do the inspection then you should be fine. Mine didn't go over Dickson when i got the rego changed from QLD to ACT.

Modified or imported vehicles are meant to go to Dickson. Would be interested to know who has liability if it is passed at an authorised inspection station, the owner or the inspector?

Rego.act.gov.au

ACT gov website uses the words MUST go to Dickson in big bold print.

ah so it is dickson then? So you guys that had a car from inter state.. Was it in your name or transfering ownership as well?

Car was already in my name.

Ultimate is listed as an approved Inspection Station on Rego.act.gov.au.

transferring ownership for mine as well

People have had interstate cars changed to act through normal inspectors and dickson...

I got one of my cars from nsw to act through a normal inspector.

As for fmic, the rule is if the car came with a fmic oem ie skylines and silvias etc they have a front facing intercooler outside the engine bay then you are allowed one as long as your intercooler piping and core has not required your reo or chasis cut to fit it, for skylines you can put your cold pipe through the floor pan as long as its not going to effect the structure of the plate under the washer bottle, or through the side just above the chasis rail providing there is still metal attached to the rail (a inch is enough above it)

Hope it helps

Cheers bren! that helps heaps

So if I was to buy an evo from interstate, it's technically meant to go to Dickson?

[Anfanee]

It is but i think you can get one done anywhere from what bren said

[Humpty Dumpty]

you can try see if anyone can do it. I know its possible as there have been time people have been to a regular inspector and transferred it.

[Mitcho_7]

Yeh, I think I will be trying to get it done anywhere besides Dickson. Anyone got any reccomendations?

Gotta find the right car first though

The place behind the Caltex servo in Kambah (NOT at the village, just the normal Caltex near Kambah High).

This. srsly lol, it trumped my car. It's a seriously quick piece of work.

It's definently a nice car, but I don't just wanna make an impulse purchase. It's under consideration for sure, but I'm still keeping my options open because I'm in no hurry.
