Nsw Rwc Questions..

[Don Juan]

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.

Ok thanks that cleared a few things up. But am I to understand to get a RWC cert you have to get a totally different inspection from a licensed mechanic?

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.

maybe ask a dealership if you could use some trader plates?

ive got no idea how it works, or if they give them out to randoms, but its a thought.

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.

If the car is regoed then there is no need to get a permit. if it has no rego a pink slip is required in nsw to get a travel permit. cost about $50 depending how long required.
