Rally Permit it is!!

[Duncan]

OK, my experience with NSW RTA and Rally import

1) Your import approval needs to be a Rally Import. There is another category Race import which can never be registered. They are not the same

2) Import Approval requirements as per normal, plus you need to provide proof that the car is eligible for race OR rally. For a GTR it is on the FIA Homologation list www.fia.com/sport/Homologations/homol_vehicles.html. (although the homologation expired last year it is still eligible)

3) Also for import approval you need a National Rally or International Rally License. If you have a C3 or C4 circuit license you can get an additional National Rally license for about $100 after completing an online (easy) Rally course thru CAMS.

4) Once it arrives you need to apply for a log book which will include a scruitineering check and a detailed spec check of the car

5) NSW - Once the log book and scruitineering are complete you can apply for rego. You need CTP, blue slip, log book, import approval and a L2S or higher license.

6) You can use the car to race, transport to practice or transport to workshop. Before driving each time you ring CAMS and get a permit number. You need to carry all relevent papers in the car.

This sounds tough but is all quite possible if you get Rally (not Race) import approval in the first place. And as Andrew pointed out since there is no compliance you do not need to return it to stock and there are no restrictions on build date or car as long as it is eligible to race.

hmmmmm i think people are getting the wrong idea as to what im talking about. A rally permit doesnt require a Rally imported car. It has nothing to do with how the car comes into the country. A Rally Permit is only a UVP thats a year long and is used for getting cars to and from events.

If you brought a car thats already been registered in Victoria thats worked off its tits and you wanted to use it as a track car, rather tha having to get it all engineered or try and get it thru RWC you could get a Rally Permit from VIC Roads for it to enable you to be able to drive it to and from a track.

My cars already been imported as a 15year old car.

All that is required for a Permit (or REGO) of this type is:

-CAMS licence

-Log book (CAMS)

-Completed application form

-Scrutineers cert or RWC (as i would need to comply my car an RWC is out)

The cost is $100 more than normal rego.

Yeh i get ya:thumbsup:...its just that soem of us have looked into this, and it has usually has resulted from ppl lookign to both import and get registered a car. So yours is already here, you just need to get it registered:)

Once my car is back on the road and i have finished spending money on it i was looking at gettign as Escort Rally/club car, so the rego thing is the same as i would be gettting club historis rally rego....but thats all looking a bit sick now, the UK beckons:)

[inark]

oooooooh ok i see what ya talkin bout

UK? u leavin us for the cold windy warm beer land?? isnt it cold enough in melbourne for u?

[funkymonkey]

Ni - you are still missing the point. Read the following from the Vic Road web site:

An applicant for a Rally permit must be a member of a car club affiliated with a VicRoads approved National Motorsport organisation (ie. Confederation of Australian Motorsport) and be the holder of either:

National Rally Licence (or a higher level competition licence);

or an international Rally Licence

However:

The operator of the vehicle must be the holder of a:

current National Rally Licence (or higher level competition licence) or;

a current International Rally Licence

an alternative competition licence approved by VicRoads

So I'll say it again. Having a normal track day CAMS licence will be sufficient for you to DRIVE the car - and you will need one to drive it at any time - but you can't register it with just one of those. You will need a Rally Licence to register it.

no UR missing my point...

if vic roads approve of the licence it is OK.. it doesnt have to BE an international or national according to the person i spoke to.

so this is what i am going on and what ive been saying for the past 20 posts

[inark]

thats the first thing i confirmed as thats the whole reason i rang vicroads to confirm.

and what u have pointed out was the first thing that popped into my head but they left an opening in their wording to say it doesnt HAVE to be a HIGH classed licence.

i WILL be confirming this with their head office however... once again i am going down to see them and confirm everything as facts... until then there is still hope.

[Snowman]

Ok - now I understand. You DELUSIONAL! You should have just said so at the start!

[inark]

hmmmm thats not what vic roads said... i told them about my car etc and they said thats fine as long as it passes scrutineering then thats fine... they were more worried about the licence which apparently any of the CAMS licences cover.

i guess i should have aye?

[SKY031]

rather than having to get it all engineered or try and get it thru RWC you could get a Rally Permit from VIC Roads for it to enable you to be able to drive it to and from a track.

Or you could buy a set of trader plates

[inark]

lmao it would b cheaper to comply it

maybe i could just steal gareths and craigs.... only need one right?

[FLYGTR]

This doesnt help much though but a few wrx members have bought old commo's for track work and have registered them under classic historic . Around $100 a year and allowed to drive to and from events and repairs/maintenence , they to have to be a member of a cams approved club and require ANY cams licence . Car has to be road worthy but doesnt require a RWC .

yeah to get a club/historic permit the car needs to be 25yo or older. i enquired about that one and was denied
