Check out the vicroads website for the relevant forms, or call them to see what is involved.

But from my understanding you will have to cancel your rego in SA, get a roadworthy here in Vic and go through the process of regoing your car here in vic with vicroads.

+1 for ^^^, but if ur car is defectable in a way that u need an engineers, then u will have to get it engineered to be road worthy..

but in melbourne it is were u go and who u see for rwc, some are fussy and some arnt as bad, if ur car is modded then find some1 who isnt to picky, if its a stocka then anywere will do..

Depends on the mods etc.

1. You'll need the RWC for sure, and proof of rego in SA i believe so you can transfer (maybe even proof on cancellation, i forget exactly)

2. You'll need to book an appointment @ VicRoads i believe (sometimes you can get away without one).

They will basically check the engine number against the RWC etc and give you a set of plates, doesnt take too long.

The rest will depends on the mods, if the car is heavily modified then you'll find probably nowhere will be prepared to give you a RWC it before an engineers is obtained to cover it.

If its near/is stock then you wont need anymore than then above two i believe

Definately check Vic Roads out as Ant says.

Yes you have to pay a year in advance, about $560 for most people (i.e not farmers etc). To get that you will need a road worthy from an authorised center I believe.

+1 for what kaz said. From what ive heard asking about being from interstate (as i am) the police will be a lot less inclined to pull you over about minor offences ie defects, as there is a loooot more paper work to be done if you have interstate plates on. I mean, how do they know if you go back to SA every two weeks.

cheers guys.

yeah ill be heading back to SA quite a fair bit anyway. ill Keep it SA registered...

BTW Looking at getting another project car. what suburbs would i find the good import yards.

cheers

catch ya

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
