Well yes. If you've got illegal mods and you don't feel like changing them back to stock and/or minor problems such as oil leaks and don't want to fix them for a RWC then it's a wise move to keep the car registered. I had my car registered for 1.5 years when it barely saw sunlight and sat in a garage.

Thanks for your comments buddy... yeah, I feel the same... presenting my vehicle for a RWC is not an option. :D

As what justin911 state... you have 3 months to re-register you car before it gets de-registered. From that point, all you need to have your vehicle registered is to have a RWC. You dont need to book an inspection time with vicroads as you were the previous owner at time of the vehicle being de-registered and also the current owner at the time of having the vehicle registered. Basically turn up at any vicroads when your ready ... show them the RWC, pay your rego fee and its all done...

Thanks mate... yeah, I'm only in financial strife now as I bought a $3K bed and a $670 matress plus some other homewares stuff that the wife picked out... lol ... 2 more month is sex for me... I'll be fine then... at least, like you say, I still can get it re-registered subject to a RWC, but that'll just be a hassle... once again, thanks mate!

Do you think I'll have to call vicroads to arrange this?

during the year, take all the loose change you get whenever you buy things, and put them in a jar. When it comes time to pay for rego/inusurance, knock that jar over and start counting.

I usually end up with around $800 at least, by mid year, in change.

+1 - great idea! But only one problem - we had a jar like that too - it was opened up for the lounge! Never knew buying new home and having to furnish it would cost so bloody much! :D

Shit mate you must be cutting it fine, how will you cope after another interest rate rise or 5 ?.

Yeah mate, I'm coping it fine at the moment... but this is only due to the amount of furniture and housewares that we've bought over the last few months... once this folds over, I'll be fine... interest rate will jack my mortgage up by around $300, so I'm not phrased...

But yeah, it just shows, you can never earn enough for life... hahaha :D

Do you think I'll have to call vicroads to arrange this?

You can give vicroads a call but not necessary. My cousins mate left his car sitting in the front yard for about 14-15months, when he was ready he gave em a call to book a time and got told just to come in anytime as no inspection required

Thanks fellas, I guess - I'll just hang fo an extra 1-2 months then pay it (but won't drive until then).

Thanks.

COME TO TONIGHT'S CRUISE ANYONE?

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
