transfer it, then 28days for RWC before reg is suspended, i assume you lost the RWC, as it is illegal for a car to be sold without one.

editing for others reference: if car is unregistered, the only time limit you have is the expiration of unreg vehicle permits, and RWC's. you dont need to transfer an unreg car as such, just reg it in your name, providing a receipt for the purchase. You make an appointment at vicroads, take in receipt, RWC, anything else they need then fingers crossed you drive away with plates on.

well no, it was sold without REGO or RWC and i had one of those permit things to drive it home and also to the mechanic etc..

so i can just go transfer it now, and when it is rwc i can get that and also rego done?

By the sounds of it since it was not sold with a RWC and you purchased it UNREG you will have to start the process again.

Get a RWC for the car within the 28 day allowance and then Register it, shouldnt have a problem if you do that.

I purchased a car in VIC last yr and had the hassle of bringing it to NSW and I learnt through that process that neither states communicate in any way with registration. NSW don't accept VIC roadworthy's and such and so on.

I had to basically register the car as if it was unroadworthy and unregistered. Time consuming and costly... Good luck with it mate.

yeah it is very time consuming! because i work all day its hard for me to get to vicroads on time!!

i was just worried, coz i thought i had to transfer it within 14 days even if it has no rego/rwc..

+1, nice n easy. Just more tedious than anything prolly. Though they will have different laws to be observed when on the road.

though you will need to renew ur permit for an unreg vehicle to drive it places for rwc unless u plan on trailering it.

As you didnt purchase it with REG - It means nothing now.

Essentially you could take 6 months to get it registered and VicRoads will not care.

The 14days ONLY applies for cars with REG

+1 for this. As Nismoid said, because the car was sold with no registration you can take as long as you want in getting a RWC as there is no Rego to be transfered. The only thing you need to worry about is permits that expire so you can drive the car to and from mechanics and vic roads. However you do need to get the vehicle registered within the 28 days of getting your RWC as they expire.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
