How long for a compliance plate?

[pavel]

Just called the workshop that is doing compliance for my '95 R33 GTS25-t. They said they finished with the car and mailed the paper work few days ago to Canberra, but they don’t know how long it will take for the plate to arrive. So maybe someone got their plate recently or knows aprox. how long it takes for one for arrive, please let me know as i would like to have a rough idea when to expect it.

Thanx

My car also became ready - last week, the paperwork was submitted over the web, the current time for it to get cleared is 5 working days, however it fluctuates a fair bit (up to 14 etc). Anyhow yesterday i got a phonecall from the compliance workshop, the government asked about the mirrors or some such crap, took about 2 seconds to alter the form to answer their question but now its another 5 day wait. (Why they dont actually pick up the phone when they have questions is beyond me)

So i guess the answer to your question is about 6 days. (Once the car gets the all clear it takes another day for the compliance plate to arrive).

Hope that helps and you dont get stuffed around like i did

mine took a few weeks as they wer slak and took up quite a few phone calls to make sure things went ahead.

[Burto]

Yeah just got off the phone then, apparently the reference number for the mirrors had been used on a previous vehicle as a result they sent it back.

How does that work? :confused:

Mine been in the shop since 2nd of September and they only finished with the car this week ... i'll be waiting for a call end of next week (i guess):confused:

Well it took my mates workshop (they worked non stop on the car) 2 days to do.

4 Side Intrusion bars

5 Seat belts

Mirror from convex to flat

Child restraint points

Unleaded fuel filler opening restrictor

and fit a headunit and 4 new speakers

and then the engineer checked it all over for me and fitted me with a L01 mod plate for registration (QLD).

[Burto]

Was that under the new scheme? Or 15 year rule? Cause under SEVS it does only take a day or so to get the vehicle ready, but you have a mountain of paperwork that needs to be done, then when you submit it they take a week to get back to you

[Parag0n]

Imported under 15 year old rule.

Mine took approximately 2 weeks for my R33. Its systematic, but I know how you feel, i was in pain just looking at my car sitting in the workshop, and couldnt even take it out. While mine was sitting at the workshop waiting for the plate to come back, I installed my stereo and got an alarm system fitted. Could be an idea to get an alarm fitted so you can park your car when you get it...

In the end, the wait is all worth it.

Should have some news next week, hopefully.

I couldn't even look at mine. It was sitting in a garage in Brissy while I'm in Tassie. Mine was seven days then I got a call saying they'd stuffed up the paperwork and it was another five days. It's currently on a truck somewhere between Brisbane and Melbourne. Or it's supposed to be. Waiting sucks.

Hi guys, normally the work on the car is completed in a couple of days and the Vehicle Inspection Certificate (VIC) submitted to DOTARS via the Internet.

It then really depends on how many VIC's are in the system as to how long it takes. Can be between 5-10 working days. Then once DOTARS clear paperwork it gets electronically transferred to NIDDRIE who make up Compliance Plate. Once the RAWS workshop pays then they send it out. If the workshop pay an extra $35 they can have it the next day, otherwise it gets sent registered post which can take 3-5 working days.

So start to finish about 2 to 3 weeks!!

If anyone has any questions please feel free to give me a call and I'll answer them. In case you haven't guessed by now, we have a RAWS workshop in Sydney:

SSPI actually did my compliance hehe... They actually can tell you if its gone through by looking on their computer through some database. Was so happy when I heard the news came in, but then got shafted cause RTA wanted to inspect my car which is a whole other issue, other than that, its still worth the wait I reckon.

Stick in there is all I can say

Hi Pavel,

If you go to following link

http://raws.dotars.gov.au/rawswebpublic/RA...ubVehSearch.asp

and type in your VIN, will be 6U9000ECR33xxxxxx

it will show you if DOTARS have cleared the RAWS paperwork so as Compliance plate can be issued. If its there than it is a matter of 1 day for compliance plate to arrive at RAWS if they pay the extra $35 for air mail, or about 3-4 working days if it comes the no extra cost registered mail.
