Need Blue Slip.. Am I Allowed To Drive Car To Inspection Station?


Recommended Posts

well i'm going to get a blue slip this arvo actually and I was thinking of using plates that read: "kiss me, I'm irish". I will let you guys know how it goes.

By the way, who ever said get an unreg vehicle permit, i was going to get one of these a while ago, and they told me you need a blue slip to get one, and pay for CTP for the time of the journey

well having drive to get a blue slip today. I drove with no number plates, and no letter of intent. I drove from my house to the weighbridge, to the workshop, to the insurer, to the RTA and drove past a total of 5 police cars! none of them had anything to say about it.

good news is the car is now registered :)

Yes you have to pay CTP it's about 20 - 35 dollars on top of the UVP.

Hey Beer Baron. Just curious did you get hit with any surprises from the mechanic inspection? Is yours imported with 15 year rule (i.e mod platted)? I hear they are quite strict down there in Syd. Also what modifications have u got on urs?

How much did you end up paying for Blue slip, and green slip?

Just trying to get a rough idea as I'll be coming down in 2 months, and wondering what kind of costs I may be hit with bringing 'her' down to comply and register.

p.s You don't have a soft copy of the mech report by any chance do u - so i can look through the tests they do.

I've never been hit with any 'surpirses' at a blue slip inspection. this car was a sevs import, but it doesn't matter blue slip is the same for any car. blue slip price is pretty set. around $120. green slip price varies on your age, history, where you live etc. so mine is not really relevant to you.

Someone mentioned that if its a certain type of Import you need further adr testing? I dont remember the exact type he mentioned though. There was: 15 year old, personal import...

$120 - this is pretty much like a racq rwc check i assume? Would they say anything about a fmic, pod (no box) - does this need to be attached to the car, boost controller?

depends on the inpsector mate. i will say their primary concern is that the car is not stolen, and that it's roadworthy. i don't know of any import that requires 'further ADR testing'. every car in nsw import or not goes through exactly the same registgration process.

dont u just need an appointment with a blue slip joint and then just drive there?

i drove around sydney with no number plates on, jap writing on my windscreen, covered in thick dust, uncomplianced and unrego'd. i was told if a cop pulls me over, just tell them im heading to the compliance/blueslip shop.

When I had my 180, I had to get it blue slipped but I was getting mixed information from everyone. So as a result I rang up the RTA and rang up my local cop shop.

As per RTA: I can drive as long as it’s to the closest blue slip center. In other works, there is a blue slip workshop about 2km from you and another 5km. You know for a fact that the workshop which is 5km away will give you a blue slip without any problems. You can only go to the workshop which is 2km away…..makes sense?

As per Local Cop Shop: I was basically told the same thing as RTA. The cop even joked about putting up TRAFFIC plates….which is a big no no. He said I did not need any sort of document stating I was going for a blue slip.

Oh and as for the 180, ended up getting towed because I knew I couldnt get it blue slipped anywhere else expect for the place where I usually go :P

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
