That section is under the unregistered vehicles section, meaning you also need a permit.

If the car is un-rego'd then ignore the rest of what im typing.

I cannot see any reference to towing a registered vehicle in that manner, so it might be a grey area it would seem.

I'd suggest calling VicRoads and ask them to point you in the correct direction/area of their website where you can read it if you want to be 100% certain.

OR

Just do it anyway. Screen dump the VicRoads page, and say "well it's legal with a permit for un-rego, so given i have rego i do not need a permit" - should work.

I think as long as you are resonable and have the hazards on, use a rope, the car being towed has operational tail-lights etc they won't give you too much grief over it especially if you are not going very far.

You can only move an unregistered vehicle on the road when:

  • driving with an Unregistered Vehicle Permit
  • driving to VicRoads for a vehicle registration inspection
  • towing – on a trailer or behind a registered vehicle.

The way that reads i would (and have in the past) conclude that if your driving it any where but to vic roads you need a permit but if you towing it behind a registered vehicle you dont need a permit, have done this before and was over taken by a cop and they did nothing.

a simple sign in the window or on the boot or bumper stating "ON TOW" alsio gives people a heads up too to stay clear and give you some room. every time i've had to tow my mates R-100 we've done that and never had any hassle from the cops, and even had a few drive past us as its on tow. just a little common courtesy i guess goes a long way at times :no:

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
