Nsw Engineered Car Transfer To Act

[Humpty Dumpty]

So Guys,

I have my car which is a NSW engineered car also registered in NSW,

I am trying to find out if I am able to transfer my car from NSW to ACT without having to get it through dickson,

I am not fussed if the engineering stays or i lose it in fact if i can do a simple transfer into ACT by a normal inspection and losing tue engineering certificate i would be happy.

Thanks for your help

Im pretty sure you can just get an ACT certified place to do the inspection... all you have to do in dickson is an identity check on the car. However that FMIC of your 33 may cause people to look further into it. It's a bit of a grey area.

And the rules might be different since its staying in your name..

Just call one of the approved places (Capital Automotive, Ultimate tunes etc) and see what they say. Just don't tell them you own a rival company =P

[Humpty Dumpty]

Yeah no not going to mention my rivalry,

It is still not in my name from when i purchased the car ages ago for the fact it was off the road when bought as well as this issue i have now.

Technically if the lowest point (fmic) is higher than 115mm it is fine, as the reo etc is untouched and the car came out oem with a forward facing intercooler (and mounted external to the engine bay) so the technicality of my fmic being "grey area" can be justified

[Anfanee]

well thats good about the intercooler.

"The vehicle will need to be inspected at the Vehicle Inspection Station,Dickson, or by an authorised examiner to ensure it is roadworthy before it can be registered in the ACT. You will need the vehicle's interstate registration papers for this."

From the RTA website

Edit: you don't need to do the identity check. So only the RWC.

Yeah you only need a ID check for cars built within 10years

I believe all cars that have an engineers cert need to go to Dickson. There was another thread in this ACT section not so long ago where we covered this and someone went through the process

yep, that's what canberra connect website says. I believe Dickson will then only pass it if the mods that are engineered also meet NCOP standards...

Dickson RTA only accept certificates signed by 6 different people in NSW....hope he's on the list lol

The ACT will also accept engineering reports from signatories accepted in other Australian jurisdictions, provided modifications are certified in accordance with the NCOP (engineering signatory lists can be obtained by the relevant state transport authorities).

Ah awesome.

On a glance he is not on the list...

This is too confusing / annoying

You can put your car through a inspection place other than Dickson, even though it is written that all interstate imports/modified vehicles/etc must go through Dickson. You're not meant to but Dickson is too busy at times and has referred people away, even for an import. I had a mate who transfered his R32 from VIC to ACT, and as per the rules, tried to book into Dickson. He was turned away because they didn't have an open slot for a few weeks.

The inspection place might turn a blind eye on the mods and let you through as a 'Standard' car. Good luck, if you try to put your car through as something other than stock. Most inspection places do not even know the rules. I gave up and took mine to Dickson, and was pinged on annoying things rather than the modified parts.

FMIC is fine on a Skyline, the GTR comes with one factory.

With regards to height, it is meant to be measured fully loaded, which they don't really have the ability to do and just set the height to around 140mm.

Also, some of the guys in Dickson do not know where to find the ACT legislation for vehicle modifications. They referred me to the VSB but that is only baseline for local authorities to create their own.

I transferred my rego from WA to ACT when I moved here.

I just took it to Ultimate and it was done.

However, mine is not engineered, so not sure what difference that makes.
