Rego check

[gtir_94]

Hey guys,

I dart from Sydney to Canberra often. My plates are NSW. My rego is due, and Im not heading back to syd JUST to get a rego check..

My question is, does anyone know any places in qbn or even canberra that are fairly reasonable with mod's cars? Email me at [email protected] if dont want to publicly advertise such places.

Thanks heaps.

NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry mate but ur out of luck if u think u can get it done anywhere else other than dickson.

nik(amaru) can attest to this for me. i bought mine a few months ago and had to get it changed to canberra rego from n.s.w. and just b4 this a new law was passed that no one other than dickson are allowed to rego check and pass vehicles. i had ed at tez (champion) check it out for me as i thought i could get around it, but he called and they wouldnt allow it.

i had some of the guys from syndicate check it out for me to tell me what i needed to remove to pass(huge thanks for their time) but in the end i took it to Dickson as it was hoping they would pin me on ride height or something and then let me pass when i came back .......anyway the guys there were great blokes and let a few things slide 4 me, in the end all i had to do was install a high mount brake light and they passed me.

ask for Dave when you get it checked, he's a great bloke and did everything he could to help me.

so to answer your question: only dickson can rego check ur car now, nowhere else can...period.

hey andrew,

Thanks for the info. What I meant was, Im not planning to transfer my nsw plates over to act ones. I live in nsw, and want to stick with my nsw rego

I know I can go to any rego place in qbn and get them to check out my car, but it would seem down in qbn a few places do not like the looks of a mod'd car, much less an import that they know nothing about.

Thanks for the post though.

Call Ed at Integra Automotive in Queanbeyan (at the Ampol Service Station on Lanyon Drive) and tell him Nik sent you. Im not sure if he can do nsw rego checks there (pink slips arnt they?) but its worth a try, and if not he will tell you someone who can.

Thanks Nik Ill check him out.

Im always caught in Canberra come rego time. I had a check done at a qbn service place in my gti-r and they opened the bonnet and insisted my turbo setup was aftermarket and they didnt want to touch it.

After a bit of sweet talking, and showing them as much info on the GTIR as i had on my at the time, they very relucantly checked it and pink slipped me, with a 'now dont ever come back here again ya here'

Haha fair enough, well Ed is pretty cool he doesnt see things and go "oh modified car, i dont want anything to do with it", but if there is any illegal things he will fail you, hes not dodgy

On that note though, he certainly does love his performance cars, and he is now the only person I take mine to for anything.

no fair enough. not looking for dodge, just fairness. the only things people in the know might querie is the pod filter, and bov. But im so sick of ppfftt that im taking that back to stock anyhow, but maybe not b4 inspection. but other than that, my car is legal as safety goes, its not worth the hassle these days to be pulled up for crap, you can quite reasonably make a performance car perform the legal way just as well [kinda]

Ill drop by anyhow and have a talk.
