Hi All

Has anyone removed a private plate from a car and held that plate on retention but claimed the remaining rego back, can it even be done without relinquishing the plate?

If the plate is deregistered, I believe you can but if the plate is staying with the owner, not the car, is the bit I am not sure on.

Have searched the Vic Roads website but nothing explicitly on that.

Am guessing most people would transfer a private plate from one vehicle straight to another so it would make no sense claiming back.

:)

Personal Plates stay with the owner.

That wasnt the question Rav, I know they stay with the owner as I have a couple of sets.

Question was, can I claim back the months unused without relinquishing the plates. If I hand the plates back to Vic Roads, I can claim the remaining months but I don't want to hand them back. I don't want to effectively pay rego on plates that are not on a car (over 11 months worth).

Yea iam pretty sure you can because the plates are singed over in your name you should have some paper work with the plates. and they just cancel the rego. You can still hold on to the plates even if they are not in currant rego.

My mate personal plates have been of his car for ages just seating in his room.

There isnt any paperwork with the plates, I have asked for a certificate on previous occasions but on those occasions, the rego has coincidently just about expired so haven't bothered claiming. The nearest I could get to a certificate was a stamp with the time and date on and the initials of the Vic Roads guy saying I had been issued with standard plates.

Might just have to call up and see but didnt want to have to sit in a phone queue if I didnt have to. Am guessing to do it, they would take the rego label off me as it is paid until Feb next year.

Damn - no correct answer!

Answer is, you can't, you can claim the rego on plates being given back as they are no longer in use and not being substituted for any other plates.

You can't claim the personal rego plate $$ back otherwise the new ones going on would have nothing paid against them.

Thread can be closed/locked :teehee:

Thats a bit stupid...

I always thought that seeing as you pay a price in full for the plate to be made up initially and rego is for the vehicle for 12months. If you have 3months left on rego and the vehicle is going to be de-registered you then claim 3months back as the plates have already been payed for in full. :)

Not stupid because that is what you can do.

What you can't do is transfer rego, then claim the paid part back from the one you transferred over as it would make the new one invalid as there was no money on it (might take a few reads to understand :ermm: )

You should be able to swap your numberplates for standard ones on your car (but obviously hold onto your custom plates). Once the standard ones are on, then deregister the car and claim back left over rego.

Don't a lot of people buy a set of plates and simply hold onto them. They never actually get put onto a car. Plates like 'GTHO'. Then they come up for sale for ridiculous $$$.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
