Hi guys,

Just wondering what they actually check when you goto vicroads to register your car? Will they check things such as how loud ur exhaust is?

I am going to get my car registered again but i can't remember what they actually check at vicroads. A while back i know it was a fairly quick process.

Thanks

yes it has. oh gosh, that easy!!!!! thanks heap!!! i didn't realise i didn't even need to bring the car, thats a huge relief.

sorry, one more question, if i were to sell the car to someone. would they then just bring the transfer papers with them and do the same thing? i was only going to register the car to sell it easier.

When the car is initally registered, they need to check engine/chassis numbers, to make sure that the details match what is on the roadworthy certificate, and what is on their database.

They can't do that without the car present. :D

You don't need to present the car for yearly registration renewal.

Yes, the roadworthy shows that the car complies with all safety regulations and is legal to be driven on the road.

VicRoads still need to check the engine number etc. if it's a new registration, or registration has previously been cancelled.

Sorry to bump up an old thread.

WHen reg. a car for the first time, does the car need to be stock when u take it to vicroads to be registered?

As my stagea will prolly have its aftermarket exhaust & wheels on, will they tell me l need the standard items back on, or will l be fine with just the RWC & all the applicable import/compliance forms.

yeah you should be fine.. unless they are tight they shouldn't actually test for roadworthiness as someone as said above.. Don't worry about bringing your car down to stock, just make sure you bring all your paperwork, and make sure it matches up. For example i got knocked back on registration the first time because on the RWC it didn't have RB20 written in front of the engine number, even thought it isn't actually part of the engine number.. So check that all the numbers in your documents match against each other.

The only thing that the people at vicroads checked when I had my car inspected was that the engine and chassis numbers from the car matched the numbers on the paperwork.

think your going under the sevs system so i dont know abt that, but when i got my 32gtst registered all i needed was my RWC certificate and other documents to pay stamp duty. like sky031 said, first time registration needs the car present. the dude i had at vic roads was a funny guy, he came out with one of them extendable lights on a pole thingi to check my engine number but the batteries died on him so he goes "ah fk that, just dont kill anyone on the road k" lolz

Thanks for clearing that guys. I was hoping l didn't have to try and find a set of 16" wheels to use for all of 30mins.

Car is getting complianced under RAWS i believe. Is off the dock tomorrow and off to be complianced .... not long to go now.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
