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.

vicroads.vic.gov.au

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

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
