HI

I have my kombi with a V6 for sale in Queensland and have a buyer in NSW keen. It is fully approved up here with V6, rollcage, fuel cell and seats, how hard is it to have it re engineered for rego in NSW.

Thanks
Brendon

Has to be inspected by a nsw approved engineer and another report issued

is it possible to keep it registered in QLD and have postal address in NSW?

Technically no.
Once a car resides for more than ( I think ) 3 months at a new location it is "suppose" to be registered to that state.

Hi

This could end in lots expense & problems, but what about free trade between states?

Bureaucracy, greed, that's all it's about, States want they're 5 F$%^&n cents worth
Should be an aussie engineering guide for this sort of stuff, no brainer
one engineer is ALL it should take, and an Australian rego at that, no State rego.
rant over.

Heavy vehicles are heading this way in the near future rego/ defect clearing for trucks etc will be Aust wide and engineering will be ok from state to state except WA (apparently there not on board). Went to a seminar on RMS Changes to heavy vehicles
So i would suspect eventually light vehicle may go the same way.

But for now to do it as mentioned will require a engineers report from a nsw engineer on the RMS list of approved engineers in the VSCCS ( Vehicle safety certification compliance scheme) and then a blue slip once report has been electronically submitted to rms.

A lot of engineering for light vehicles from state to state folows the NCOP (National Code of Practice), so if the report from your state follows it, then maybe the engineer in the new state will accept it. This does not mean you do not have to have a new state issued enginners report though, it just means that a newer report is more likley to pass in another state easily.

same sort of cost in newcastle for engineers report.
