The Dan Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 If you wanna get one done on your way through. Stop in at Brissy and I can organise one through work. We get a third party in to write the RWC for us. He does a basic inspection but relies mostly on our extensive inspection of your vehicle *wink*. Seeing as though it's an import and I drive one, my boss is a bit of a toss so he'll give it to me to inspect. It'll give you an excuse to have a bit of a look around in brissy on your way up and as long as there are no major defects I can pretty much assure you of a pain free RWC. Pm me if you are interested. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/63994-moving-to-cairns/page/2/#findComment-1219773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anquetil Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I recommend running your Vic rego out till the end. You lose allot of money if you try and get a rebate through fees n shite. As already mentioned if pulled over and asked how long you have been living in the state tell em less than 2 months. Then switch over the rego to Qld. I did this for 10months on Vic rego.

Alf Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I agree with Shane. keep your rego as it is, including your license. Don't worry too much about the RWC coz Qld's laws are alot easier than Vic esp. if you have mods. there are places here that are anti import (backwards types) and will tell you that you can't buy parts for them etc etc. True, but the cost of the parts is significantly higher than most local cars. A good example is coils :bs!:, plus the further you go north the more expensive they are ie freight.

The RWC should be fine (hopefully) I have put my car back to BOG STOCK now anyway, just to be sure. Have any of you local guys/girls used Ray Hall Turbo Charging ?

Lukas Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 OK... I made it in one piece! But I will never do it again... 3500 farking kilometers!!! Got a speeding fine on the Leichart HWY - 118 in a 100 KM zone, had not seen a car all day then over a hill comes a bush wacko QLD copper from Banana! hahahahaaa, what kind of name is Banana?!?! If you want to really fu(k your duco up, then do it! Stone chips, bugs and all kinds of other nasty things bouncing off the car, but I spent all day yesterday cleaning her up and looks a treat again, just need the front bar resprayed. Well, I've been here for three days now and have seen a black 180, a green soarer and a black soarer... Will spend this week trying to find a workshop that can give me a roadworthy certificate, so I can transfer my rego over. I think I will get 'QLD - The Smart State' number plates... hahahah NOT! They are as bad as my VIC ones 'VIC - The Place To Be' NOT!!! Anyway, would love to catch up with a few of the locals!
