Bringing A Car From Interstate

[LiamR34]

Ok so I'm looking at getting another R34 from Queensland. And I've found out I don't actually have to take the car over dickson which is great because I was worried about the FMIC..

So I was hoping if anyone could recommed somewhere to get a roadworthy where they might let a couple things slide past the report.

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers.

Is it 10 years old or less (I know, unlikely)? Will have to go to Dickson for the identity check regardless....

OTHERWISE...I took my R33 GTS-T to [PM sent with location] when transferring from QLD to ACT. Only thing he didn't let me through with was stupid 5% tint, otherwise he didn't check height, didn't check volume and had a rough glance through the engine bay. Nothing really stands out on the car, and engine bay was entirely stock (minus FMIC sprayed black, doubt he'd care anyway). The reinspection was as simple as calling him to let him know I was on my way, rocking up, and him ticking all the boxes. He didn't even look out the front door to make sure I actually removed the tint! Much respect to him.

It's a 2001 Model, So hopfully it's made earlier in the year so I don't have to attend dickson lol.

Thanks heaps for that Troy, I'll definatly give them a shot. Only thing I'm really stressing about with the car is the FMIC. So we'll see what happens!

Cheers,

Yeah, im in a similair boat at the moment, but only need a road worthy to change from act-act lol. Any suggestions?

Car is not low, no massive wheels, no tint. pretty clean, just a couple of little details.

I took my R34 over Dickson with a FMIC, no dramas

[LiamR34]

Without a engineers cert?

[Shell]

Yep without a certificate. I bought the car from interstate just like you, and went over Dickson cos the local garage refused to do it.

[LiamR34]

Oh ok thats good to know! Thanks for that

While we are on the topic of rego, aparently all imports need to go over dickson to tranfer rego? Can anyone confirm this or would shopfront let it slide?

[Trozzle]

yes they're supposed to. Shopfront won't so much "let it slide", but moreso they just won't realise.

Ah ok, I thought that It might have told them in the computer or something.
