Hello,

Just wondering if anyones ever had a car complianced in another state to the one that it's getting registered in?

Asking because interested in what would happen if you buy a car jsut complianced but not rego'ed in another state to your home state.

I assume ADR = AUSTRALIAN design rule ie it's recognised around Australia right?

I ain't shippin it cos I don't trust shipping a car - I'd be too anxious. :

That only leaves driving it and considering if I drive it state to state with no rego it means I'll get arrested the only way to do that would be registered.

Now - if I ask the previous owner in the state they are in to register it (and assuming they agree), then I can drive it down. After that can I transfer it to myself? Now will they charge a bs fee or isit standard changeover and you just pay for a new plate?

My other question is - I've never had a car that wasn't registered already - when you rego a car without rego you need to go over the pits and get a blueslip right? (NSW) or can you just get a pink slip if you have a freshly complianced car?

Anyone been through any of this?

Thanks for any thoughts in advance! :rolleyes:

You can get a "permit" for about $60 in most states to drive an unregistered car for a limited period from point to point. Use this to drive from purchace point to nearest RTA in NSW (Albury, Tweed Heads etc) then register in NSW and drive home.

Yeah, i'm in Melb but compliance is in Sydney. Contemplating flying up and driving it back down, or trucking it down to Melb. But yeah, as others have said, you can get temp permits to drive the car to a specific location.

hehe Gohan - that's almost the opposite of what im looking at doing.

Unforunately I don't trust just anyone to drive my car up a truck and off it without damage - especially with suspension and a kit heh so yeah might have to drive it down.

Good luck with your escapades!

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
