Possibly a very easy question but never dealt with defects before.

Bought an unregistered car with a red sticker. The paper work that came with it didn't have any of inspection stations ticked for example AIS, AUVIS, etc

The only thing ticked was: Full inspection and Light vehicle

As the car's rego has lapsed, it will need a blue slip. Is that all is needed to get the car on the road now?

A lot of people can do the inspection http://autocollective.com.au/category/defects/what-to-do/ - this page suggests looking here for people who can do it http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?fuseaction=inspectionstation.form But, I think this is only for a e-safety check (pink slip)



Infact ( & this is just a free plug), just last night a bunch of us where down at Japlink / JLM in Rydalmere for a SAU members tech night to talk about engineering certs,compliance & more.

Great set of guy's, super friendly and will tell you straight up what you need to do and will try to help you as much as possible if they can. Try giving them a call.

Number on their website is 02 97160857

what type of car?

if it is a grey import(im assuming it is), you can no longer get them cleared at pink slip stations(ais).

they all have to go to a blue slip(auvis) station to be cleared.

so, either way, its getting a blueslip.

as mentioned, just had the tech night at japlink, great bunch of guys, and can do blueslips ;)

so, if its more convenient at a place near your work, so be it.

be sure to write a letter with your name, lic number, car vin, leaving from, going too, reason, and expected times if youre driving.

rms states you can drive for rego purposes, cops think you should tow it.

Red defect + Unregistered.

Yeah, I'd be towing it to, especially to be able to get it to a place that will look after it more like JLM.

Hypothetically speaking, What if I were to remove my plates? Cops won't know the car is red stickered and I can say I'm driving to the nearest blue slip place, which I am, to get it rego'd

According to this link: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/unregisteredvehicles/index.html there shouldn't be a problem

The car is reverted back to stock, it's no longer a defect, according to me anyways.

This is also correct! you may drive to the closest inspection station (to your home address)

To drive an unrego'd car you need to obtain a permit. No registration is no registration.

You won't be covered if you hit any car or person. Paying the tow fee or rental fee for a trailer will be cheaper n safer.

My understanding of the ,drive to the nearest station for a slip, is for pinks only. It's for cars just out of rego who still have the 3 mouths to get a pink slip. That's when you can shoot up the road to get a pink.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
