u need to yake the car over the pits for an inspection and then u can get WA plates issued if it passes ok, costs around $50 for an inspection then around $15 for new plates, and you'll also have to pay licencing fees too at that time which will prob be around $230 for 6 months, im pretty sure if the car was in your name in Tassie u wont have to pay stamp duty only transfer which shouldnt be too much,

hope that helps

do u have to rip the wing off and stuff? and we have guages all over the passenger dash and on the drivers door panel bit. When we got caught be the cops in perth he said we need permits for everything? is it just easier to take it all off to go over the pits?

I just transferred qld plates to wa a cpl months ago on the car i bought... the first reply above ^^^ has it right... but just in case the car wasnt already in your name (ie. u bought it from someone and it has tassie plates) then a couple of extra bits of info... as well as all the $ mentioned above you will also need to pay the Stamp Duty before they'll give you new plates.

Also, they dont tell you this and most people end up throwing away the receipt... but you'll also be entitled to a refund from Tassie Licensing of the proportion of Rego left on the Tassie rego. When you hand in your tassie plates you'll get a receipt for them, and the refund will be from that date forward - you need to fill out some forms from Tassie Licensing and attach the receipt and post it off.

As for mods etc - what I did was book an inspection but a few days before went to the inspection centre and just walked in and spoke to the inspector for a couple of mins inbetween inspections. I just said "Hi, getting my plates changed over and doing a first registration in WA inspection on Thursday. It has some mods that were OK in tassie and just wanted to quickly ask what I'll need to take off. Are dash mount gauges etc ok, and what about....." Easy way to avoid them not passing you and paying another fee and re-booking again.

o wicked...im not as scared now...

thanks guys!!

The car is in our name, has been for 4 months or something so i shouldnt have to pay stamp again.... and the rego is due this month so its probably not worth getting receipts and stuff huh?

thanks heaps...!!
