Sounds like a good idea to me. A lot of people (read: scumbags) hide behind privacy legislation for civil matters...friggen leeches of society.

There are TONS of unregistered cars on the road. All it takes is someone to have not paid their rego for a week. The percentage of unregistered motorbikes is much higher though.

I thought there was some timeframe for doing that and you get a letter telling you to take your memory pill.

So is it that one day overdue and your a bad guy?

Good thing my wife does these things I forget my own name by lunchtime somedays. jk

but on the other hand if you are stupid enough to have a vented bov that they can hear from a mile away and you have one of those shit full ultra loud exhausts that is clearly illegal but you like it coz it gets you attention then maybe you should get out of your car with your pants around your ankles coz your gonna get arse raped!

1 day? try 1 minute, it actually says on your rego form that it expires at midnight, after that you have no rego and no insurance, as far as im aware there has never been a grace period, that is just another old wives tale that people like to believe for some reason.

ya so there a grace period to pay the rego of 3 months after that rego canceled and u start again rwc and such.

but it illegal to drive it during that period as u have no insurance and such.

plus big fines and such

If you go through any police operation without a EPA/defect - You've had a good day.

Buy a lotto ticket would be my best advice in that situation as lady luck is on your side.

Go in with a golden rule - you are never safe :D

I went through a breatho the other weekend when they were pulling everyone over. Red P's, Skyline, "Breath until I say stop, have a good night" other than that they haven't even looked at me twice.

I never have trouble at breathos...they always look too busy to be pulling people over for EPA inspections.

As for rego, you get a couple warning letters about the upcoming expiry...but if you drive after midnight on the night of expiry, you're unregistered. And yes, you have 3 months after that time to pay it or you have to totally re-register the car again.

I know this because I've been paying rego on a car that has existed on paper for the past 5 years lol. I always use the grace period...but then the next rego payment notice comes 6 months later!!!

yeah i never had problems on p plates with my sti going through booze buses. Which is why i was wondering if it would be the same with these types of operations.

Well I worked my operation Drive right 2 and we did about 5 hours on Prices Hwy. Not as busy as I expected but we still ended up with about 5-6 Suspended Drivers, One driver with no interlock, about 10 unregistered, 10 unlicensed, 10 NOU about 10 other fines and 3 Drink Drivers. Also had one offender wanted for Burglary as Whereabouts on his car.

There was no EPA but the Sherriffs had a field day with about 50 cars pulled over for owing fines of about $100,000 in total.

I know heaps of people who drive around unlicensed. In fact, of everyone I know I think I'm the only one who didn't drive once during my suspension.

I have one mate who has lost his three times and just kept driving like it didn't matter.

When I had a chat with the guy running the ANPR system I was told there was someting like 600,000 unregistered cars, 200,000 unlicensed drivers and 200,000 suspended drivers on the system. I was amazed that the numbers were so high.

by that, you mean, caught?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
