purchasing modified car from interstate

[muck]

my gimp searching didnt turn up much.....

just wondering if its an easy process to get a modified car registered in victoria?

there doesnt seem to be much information on the vicroads site...

anything that is modified isnt roadworthy unless it has an engineers

so no. going by the book it wont pass.

In saying that VicRoads are inconsistent and sometimes let things go

You can get it passed if you know the right people

thanks guys for the replies..

is it just the matter of getting a rwc?

what is the vicroads inspection really about? is it just matching the vin / engine numbers? or do they check the car also?

FYI

When I went to get my 4x4 import recently registered all they checked was the engine and vin numbers. I could have had anything in there they wouldnt have cared as they rely on the roadworthy for all those checks.

When I was there, there were 3 woman doing the checks and the 1 that did my car didnt even know what car it was and where the engine number was even after I showed here 3 times she couldnt see it and finially just gave up and said it was ok.

hahahahah. thats exactly what i wanted to hear...

execellent indeed

I was going to get a modded r32 from a guy in sydney and bring it down here, but the thing that turned me off was the fact that even if he got a pink/blue/red/etc slip for it up there, i would still have to unregister it and then re-register it in Vic, going through the hassle of trying to get a RWC.

[muck]

getting the RWC shouldnt be a drama for me... its what happens at vicroads after i get my RWC that im worried about........ if i get done in at the inspection, with a RWC, the garage that issued the RWC is gonna be in some hot water.. thats definately not what i would want....

id need to get one of the 3 chick inspectors for sure.......... as long as they only check numbers should be ok..

well dont get a dodgy one and no-one gets in trouble.

common sense really.

Vic Roads have had a major crackdown on dodgy RWC's in the last 12 months or so.

I know a lot of mechanics that have lost thier License for RW Inspection for 2 years
