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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
