Taking An Uncomplianced Car Over On The Spirit Of Tasmania

Hey guys I was just wondering who has taken an uncomplianced vehicle or a vehicle on an unregistered vehicle permit across on the Spirit of Tasmania? I called the other day and they said that I needed to have a RWC on the car to take it on, but the reason it is on an unregistrable vehicle permit is because it isn’t road worthy.

If anybody could give me any advice or let me know of any experiences they have had with this it would be great. I have checked out freight options and that looks like it may be the go at this point, however it would be somewhat of a hassle to get the car to the docks.

Cheers

when we took a heap of targa cars to Winton for the 6hr race back in 2003 we just used temp permits and they were happy, but they got stressed about some of them not having number plates to begin with. i reasoned with them that they were are all tidy well kept cars and they came around.

Thanks for that Stuart. When I was on the boat last time there were 3 fully caged evos on there with no plates and plastered in stickers so Im not sure about the whole RWC thing, i think its a crock of shit, my car is more road worthy thatn some of the old cooners Ive seen boarding before

Wack some false plates on it (for the boat jouney only)....they don't/can't check with the authorities, they just need a number to put in their system to complete the order.

yeah some of the cars we took to winton still had their targa plates on and we booked them with those numbers, but had permits as they don't have real rego attached and they weren't stress about those cars at all!

When i first brought my car over, spirit of tas website showed that u had to put a rego in to book it, so i just typed NO-REGO and hey presto it let me book the journey and they didn't say much on the boat when loading the car.

car needs to be roadworthy, it would have to be put over the pits to get an unregistered vehicle permit, if the car has a uvp it must have already passed as roadworthy vehicle, the uvp will allow you to get the car from a to b only. permits are only valid for a short time, im sure it was 7 days for me after the car was blue slipped (passed as roadworthy).

also if the same rules apply here as they do in NSW, once a car has an unregistered vehicle permit and the time period expires it is no longer able to be extended or you can not get another permit for that vehicle.

when we got the ute from NSW it had to be blue slipped and roadworthy and passed over the pits to get the uvp. a uvp certificate at the minimum has to be applied before they would allow it on the spirit of tas.

it is a hassle, but cant be avoided.

It doesnt need to go over the pits in VIC to get a permit, what a joke, in vic you can get them over the phone. Pretty much everything you said doesnt apply, but thankyou, I do appreciate the input anyway (serious)

Anyway, cars here so all the doubters, NER NER NER

that is a joke!

will make it easy to transport a burnt out 3 wheeled unregistered vehicle.......

did the vehicle have to be inspected or pass any criteria before it was permittable for road access?

was the car permittable for road access in both states or did it need to be on a trailer?

NSW RTA being more stricked on road and transport than any other state of australia, that will all apply regaurdless to where in australia its being driven (except WA i think, where UVP's dont cover).

it would probably be only a matter of time till legislations will be passed where all states in australia will be as hard and stricked on any form of vehicle transport and registrational status.

yeah vic and tas run the same sight unseen issuing of temp permits for up to 42 days... a mate actually got a permit to drive his formula vee on the road a few years ago to run in the engine!

That’s a bit of overkill, it is a "roadworthy" vehicle, it was able travel from Caulder to the boat and then to move onto and off the boat all under its own power. All lights and indicators work, no leaks of any sort, tires are good, it’s not overly low and I can put silencers in the pipes to quiet it down.

Straight from VICROADS:

1. A vehicle to be used between the hours of 7:00pm and 7:00am, except in the following circumstances -

• where a vehicle is collected from the place of purchase to be driven to the residence of the owner or the garaged address nominated on the permit; or

single trip journeys where specified on the permit form

Show me a burnt out three wheeled shell that can do that :laugh:

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.

      Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
