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.

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.

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.
so wat do they actually check at this inspection?

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.

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. :P

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.

wow now arent u just full of information :wave: thanks muchly!

the car is all done compliance wise and yes they are doing a blue slip for me, but im waitin for them to send me a damn invoice through so i can pay and get her taken home to my place!

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
