Manya Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just went to register my 2004 350gt (70th Year edition). Everything went great, until we noticed the Vin number being riveted on the chassis instead of stamped. Damn you QLD and your lacks laws, now that puts me a week behind. Vicroads did suggest a place in Sunshine to have it done, but can anyone suggest a place from experience.

sonicii Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 You mean unlike the aust. delivered cars, which are rivited on? weird VIC needs imports to be stamped..

PN-Mad Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The VIN is stamped, just not the whole oversized number that Australia gives. It's on the firewall behind the motor, still easily visible. Crazy pedantic rules, different in every state probably.

Miguelone Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Vic needs imports to be stamped? wut? I've never owned an import with the compliance vin stamped on the chassis. My car has a plate on the strut tower you can't even see with a strut bar installed and my parts car has a plate riveted to the radiator support.

sonicii Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I bought mine from VIC and the full VIN is stamped on the strut tower.. but I think it is excessive the vicroads requires it stamped.. Why is a rivited plate ok for an Aust. deilvered car, but not good enough for an import?? who knows.. some policy maker probably trying to justify their job.!

Manya Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 I lose my $40 booking fee as well so i'm kind of annoyed. They rang there "top" import guy who wasn't working that day and he confirmed that it must be stamped with the full Vin number. I rang the place that did my roadworthy and they'd never heard of the law either, as the first 6 characters are merely added to meet the 17 character Vin number requirement, the firewall still shows the correct 11 characters.

t5iv Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Move to QLD? It's warmer here... It's just sounds like someone trying to justify their job. Hope it works out!

JZP Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Discovered the same thing recently when I went to rego my car.

Manya Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) All is good today. Took a whole 10 mins and I finally can drive at night.

nickcorr Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Was warned about this by Vic Roads when I made the inspection appointment with them. When I got my Roadworthy done I asked the Repco mechanics if they could stamp the number into the body, when they did the roady and they did it for free... They had the stamps and apparently took them about 2 minutes... Stupid state based registration rules...

maclarenf1 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 i bet the seat warmers come in handy in Vic - had 70th Anniversary in Qld, never really got to use the feature Nice car by the way, have not seen many V35 in that colour. - looks like R34 GTR Bayside Blue colour.
