I'm from VIC and looking at a skyline from Sydney, just wondering about the whole pink slip thing, as we don't have it down here in Melbourne.

Does the pink slip more or less represent a RWC or is it totally different? And when you go through the yearly inspection do you get a temporary RWC or a RWC of any sort? I'm thinking about driving the car back from SYD to MELB so i'm gonna need a RWC to do it that way.

Cheers.

A pink slip is a safety inspection report, issued by an AIS which proves a vehicle has passed the required roadworthiness standards. A pink slip is used to renew a vehicle registration by mail or at a motor registry up to three months after the expiry date.

thats the best bit of copy and paste ive seen in a while :stupid:

In a nutshell, the pinkslip that is required when you renew your rego in NSW isnt worth the paper its printed on.

Workshops that are authorised to issue pink slips normally check that your tyres have enough tread, your lights work and your brakes are functioning to within specs.

I sold my 300ZX to a guy from QLD and he came down and purchased it, and sought an unregistered vehile permit from the RTA here in Sydney which allowed him to drive the car back to QLD without number plates on it.

That might be an option for you.

The RTA are REALLY REALLY unwilling to issue unregistered permits and temporary registrations. When I got my car (from japan, so it was uncomplied), they absoultely refused to do it.

PS: nice name don

I've found the complete opposite. They issued the temp permits almost without question. I think the uncomplied thing was your problem. It's piss easy, and surprisingly cheap, to get a unreg permit to drive the car from one state to the next. They give you 7 or 10 days I think. You don't need a pink slip (RWC) to get it either.

I would expect you would need a Victorian RWC to get it registered down there once it arrives. Also you can get the unreg permit from your Victorian equivalent of the RTA before you even come and pick the car up.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
