After Compliance

[CL11QE]

Hey Guys n Girls,

My car is currently going into compliance, and i was just wondering what steps come next, to get it registered n stuff. I know it has to

get blue slip n stuff, but can you get it registered straight away? Also i heard something about needing to get an inspection done like a

month after all this? I read the importing faq but it didnt seem to quite answer this, can anyone help me out? Oh im in NSW by the way!

Cheers,

Alex

You will have to get a blue slip then your green slip and take that to the rta with all your import papers and lots of money, then they will stuff around for ages as they will not know what they are doing ( so make sure you have plenty of time and dont go in there at 5 to 5 or they wont do it for you). They will then tell you that you have to go and get it inspected at a rta inspection center and that takes up to a mounth to get in, but what you need to do is tell them that this is the only car you have use of at the moment and they have to give you a interim redgo till the inspection gets done. Now through all this you need to be really nice to all these people as if you are not they can be a real pain in the butt. That is all the stuff i had to go through. Cheers Andrew.

Geez victoria sounds heaps easier,Compliance shops can do the rwc/blue slip they give you all paperwork you need. You book at vicroads of your choice go in pay a shit load of cash get plates screw on car drive away,

so wat do they actually check at this inspection?

[AndyD]

At vicroads because the car has to submitted with a RWC the only thing they have to check is that all the numbers match what is on the paperwork and the compliance plate is installed and all obvious things done that would be a compliance issue.

whats this like in WA?

[ENEMIE]

wa easy get complied, go to the inspection centre, get passed, pay money, go home happy

It should be this way, but unfortunately some VicRoads employees have minced beef for brains.

Every VicRoads has their own things they look for when inspecting imports. need CIN, import approval, contract of sale, and RWC for rego. See Vic threads for more info.

I think it is just a 3rd party inspection and identification i hope for your sake it is farly standard. I had lowered springs on mine and they said nothing but so you can get away with a bit but that was my car not yours, but i dont think they look at much as it only took a couple of 10 minutes or less. all the best.

i think the main hassle is getting time off work to go get it inspected...im getting the shop to put everything back on my car (xenons and the like) after its complied but speaking to the rta the inspection is basically just to make sure the id of the car is correct n stuff like that

As for the inspection i think you are right about the id check and as for time i did mine as the first one for the day at 6 in the morning and i had to drive for an hour to get there.

Alex you'll probably get picked up for a VIIU inspection when you apply for rego but it's nothing to worry about. All they do is check the car to see if it's a rebirth by checking the VIN and Engine numbers, Apparently it doesn't cost anything but don't take that as gospel.

Thanks Ian

Ok i done mine on thursday the guy at vicroads nice bloke happened to own a tuff looking vl turbo in the carpark (bonus for me) all he was concern about was the vin,compliance plate and engine number other than that he didnt even look at the car he did notice my pod and intercooler being non roadworthy in vic as only one intake mod allowed but he didnt say anything just checked all the numbers matched the paperwork provided and i was on my way out the door with new plates and a smile and $860 lighter for the previledge

actually it costs about $30 and yes you have to pay for it.

the process is very simple. after compliance you need to buy your CTP greenslip. since the car has never been registered in NSW you need an establishment greenslip (as it will have no rego, or rego expiry on it). You also need to pick up a copy of it in person. Just buy it over the phone, then go to the closest branch to pick up the print out. you will also need a blueslip (costs about $120). usually the compliance workshop can organise for you the blueslip.

once you have the blueslip, rego form (blueslip workshop gives you that), greenslip, orignal invoice, import approval and your money then just go to the RTA. they process the rego, give you the bill (rego, stamp duty, plates fee). now you will most likely get pinned for a random vehicle identity check. yes it is random, there has been a rumour for a while that they do all imports, but I have personally registered cars I've imported and not had to do the identity check. if you get selected for it basically you make an appointment at one of the locations they have, usually it's a month or more waiting time, and in the meantime they wont do your rego. the inspection is just to ensure your car is not a rebirth, or stolen, or VIN change etc. if you are nice the kind RTA employee might give you a interim label and plates so that you can legally drive your car till the inspection can be done. once the inspections done you just go back to the RTA and finish off your rego.
