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:

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
