As of 1/1/13 those fugly rego stickers can be ripped off - yes, even existing ones.

Until then, they need to stay on.

ACT guys have to keep theirs on until 1/7/13.

SA & WA guys are way ahead of us.

Birthday pressie from the ACT government - WoW

I agree peeps will leave them on for nostalga. Over time they will be collectors items

Nah, fugly means fugly!

I'd only keep it if I had an ADM GTR perhaps.

The downside of the absence of a sticker, might be when a car is dumped in your street with the plates removed.

How do you report its specifics then?

It just means that when HWP pulls you over, they'll already have...

a) in date or out of date rego details

b) owner details

c) address

Then when you're asked for your licence, you may be then asked...

i) if you're the person on this licence

ii) are you the registered owner (to determine if you're lying)

...and so on.

Stickers should be staying.

I don't care what they look like, they're "the norm"

While police setup an RBT station they always look for those stickers, you may not notice it, but they do. Now it's going to be harder for them to quickly identify unregistered cars.

Why should you be more concerned?

Well now it's going to be easier to get away with an unregistered car, meaning cars that can potentially hit your pride and joy, and wont be insured. People can more easily do a runner from an incident ecause the plates don't match the address to which the car really belongs, etc etc.

Once again a stupid move by RMS to just save more money.

How many registered cars in NSW/ACT? Factor a dollar to two dollars to prep and send each receipt. Yet we don't get a rego payment cut, and they sure as hell won't put more money into our roads either.

All ACT police now carry a Camera that process 6 cars a second.

No need for them to try see your rego sticker.

I agree though.

This excersise is more for revenue raising and redcuing human admin overhead !!

They are attempting to take pics of cars in the Club car parks so if they see you on the road in the next several hours they can pull you over.

It's being fought as an invasion of privacy by some but I expect the PC will let it pass...........

No longer will you actually have to be caught doing something wrong to be pulled over.

The sticker doesnt mean the registration is current so I dont see how that is a major issue. And if someone is going to do a runner with stolen plates I wouldnt expect them to stop and hang around for you to check out their sticker and vin.

Hi Terry,

Our family has 3 cars registered in December and 2 in November.... Does this mean I can remove the stickers on 1.1.2013?

I thought I'd need to keep them on till next year?

Cheers,

Bob.

Yes Bob, NRMA (which has me on their mailing list) made this announcement last week.

They quoted RMS as saying that it's optional after 1/1/13 for NSW Rego stickers to be on or off and thus, existing stickers can be removed.

Matt and I both have December Rego stickers. They of course will only remain on the glass for a matter of days. :)

    • 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.
