Hey Guys

Just wondering, after your vehicle has been complied and been through the necesary inspections (Regency inspections etc) im assuming after that its just a matter of going into motor registration paying for rego and then youre good to go, but is there a time frame you have from after you compliance to when you have to take it in to get rego.

Thanks in advance :worship:

Iron Chef is probably best fit to answer this question, and since you're using him as your agent, just send him an email.

Regency Park is tough, so what I'd imagine will happen on your car (seeing the pictures from trade car view) is they'll knock it back and give you a list of things to fix. Basically you fix those things and bring it back.

Like I said, Iron Chef will straighten all this out, but hopefully I've started you on the right track.

The compliance workshop will give you a CIN (Consumer Information Notice), which does have a date and signature on it. Some VicRoads are under the impression that it expires 30 days after signing, others don't care. Your workshop can just issue you a new one if it does expire though, so it's not a big deal.

cheers,

David @ Carizma

lol, cheers Dave - you're pretty much on the money.

Paul, no need to worry about it - the workshop doing your compliance will take it through Regency for you. All you need to worry about it paying the cash.

But for everyone else's benefit, Regency will go through every item on the CIN and check that it's been done for first registration. It's not just a "ID-check-and-away-you-go" type thing. They are extremely anal, and cars that sail through registration in other states (Qld especially) often get pinged here.

Virtually every interstate workshop I know has a horror story of relying on SA customers to "do the right thing" and remove all after market parts, the customer thinking that "stock standard" just means "road legal", and Regency having a field day on both of their arses.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
