Has Any1 Got Insurance On Non Complied Car? How?


Recommended Posts

How did you all drive back from the docks and get RWC etc without insurance?

Im with just cars and they wont transfer into my name until I get the car complianced.

Any help would be appreciated..

Like I can drive the car but can't get insurance for it :P

Greg

haha

nah mate u cant insure a car that isnt registered... insurance is only valid when the cars registered

Yeah you can :P

They will insure the car that's fine but it needs to be complianced.. You can register if you have temp rego.. I have temp rego as of 2 days ago but no insurance..

Greg

i thought that you could get a cover note on the car untill it got insured like for say 28 days

i may be wrong though...

Well they will insure it as long as I have temp rego which I have but they will only insure if the cars been complied. That's why im unsure of how everyone picks their cars up from the docks.

You call Vic roads and get an "unregistered permit". They will take the current plate of the car and VIN no and print it onto paper before faxing it through. Costs about $60 for 30 days. Can be renewed as often as need be but the car is only supposed to be used to move between places where compliance work is being done.

I did insure mine through RACV but it wouldnt have been covered.

Yeah I've already got temp rego (eg. unregistered permit)

But because the car is not complianced yet there is no new Vin.

I'll just have to drive it like that.. ohwell.. Not like insurance are going to cover the car anywayz..

Thanks

Yeah, i remember when i had to drive to vic roads in burwood to get registered without insurance. As soon as i got the plates, i called up just cars and they insured me.

So you actually get the Vin issued by Vic roads and not when you get the car complianced?

Greg

I think he means number plates, I had my car trucked places, because I was too scared to risk driving it without insurance between compliance and what not... a picked a place to get the car roadworthied that was close by so as the chance of having an accident was lower, and yeah, as soon as I regoed the car I got it insured.

Is that standard practice to re issue the VIN in Australia? Assumed it would stay all the way through from birth to death. Or is the VIN on a jap car written in Japanese (excuse my ignorance, havent seen a VIN on a car only sold in Japan)

I think when a car gets complianced over here, they add numbers to the start of the VIN to make it match up with the normal Australian VIN numbers...

ie, jap VIN is like ECR33- XXXX , so they add like xxxxxxxECR33-XXXX

etc

the VIN plates that I had when the car came from the japan are the vin plates that I have now and are regoed with.

it came from japan like xxxxxxxxxhcr32xxxxx... under the 15yr rule no compliance plates need to be fitted, only a compliance certificate is required, as well as the original VIN's of course. As far as I know VIN's aren't reissued, at least under 15yr compliance anyway...

The temp rego from vicroads i am sure comes with some type of insurance on it, they couldnt just give you rego and be like "ok, on your way"

Ive had three certificates but never asked.

The car i imported i never insured, but when i bought my stag, i just called up just cars and said "insure me". From the moment i hung up the phone, i was insured, but i had to pay them within 28 days else they wouldnt cover me...ever (i was told id get black listed). However, this car was registered, so not sure if that helps.

PS. Docks to home is like, 25km, it couldnt be that big a risk if you know how to drive?

Yeah... I'll have to find out..

Well it's been delayed until tomorrow..

My only worry is it raining tomorrow and me driving a 250 - 300rwkw car on street tyres.. I'll check it out when I get there and see how we go..

Thanks for all the help guys..

get it delivered on a truck... problem solved. call Jack at Citywide towing, he will get your car to your house without breaking shit and he's an SAU member so he gives other SAU members good rates.

Just don't get right foot happy with a car that you just picked up from the docks. Its usually got shitty fuel, a bad tune and fluids that need to be flushed. Chances of someone driving into you is minimal, and if you drive patiently you should be able to get home in one piece.

Although keep in mind if this is your first "dock experience" be very very patient. Take a portable jumpstart kit or fully charged battery, jumper cables, a jerry can, 10mm and 12mm spanner and a phillips screwdriver. And if its a modified car, you'll most probably foul the plugs if you don't start/idle it properly when you crank it after weeks of non running.

Really?

When was this and had the car been complianced at this stage?

cheers,

Greg

It was complied, but not registered.

They were very reluctant to insure it, but somehow my mum convinced them to do it.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
