Just wondering is it hard and what do you have to do to register a modified car from interstate in QLD, is it hard, or is it servo style roady inspections like it used to be As in S.A it is impossible to get a modified interstate car registered here and it goes over the department of transports pits and they defect every single mod, no matter how little, so car has to be totally standard. cheers darren

Nah in qld all ya need is a mod plate wich is just a plate saying the mods have been checked and are safe ect and a rwc, most inspections will come to ya house and do them then just take to transport and they just check numbers nothing more..... Piece of pisS

Piece of pisS So if it came out without a turbo and now has one I have to get a mod plate? I've got no idea even if the vl I just bought is a factory turbo or not, how can I identify?

Nah man coz vl came out with it so ull get away with it. For eg my vl is factory turbo but because I have vt brakes, huge turbo and cooler setup and a 2 speed glide I need a mod plate to state that it's all fitted and fitted safe.... Mine is mod plated so it's legal in transports eyes. Like I can still get a defect but along as its plated then I have no problem getting a rwc

So 6 point cages and tubs ok? , Gt42 hi-mounts, ex gate venting ok or not..can i register my R31 you reckon? I'm not so worried about that though it my wifes stagea really, which i am just going to do 3540, ext gate setup in next month or so , just wondering if i should keep stock setup for rego..looking to move up in 12 ish months, coming to look again for where we want to live in september and go to jambo aswell I might leave them all s.a rego anyway, you guys have gay numberplates..lol cheers darren

Yeah man cages are ok and do are hi mount 42's as that's what's going on mine as for the gate well legally it needs to be plumbed back in to the exhaust but if u tuck it away and hide it like me it will pass.... As for number plates tell me about it I'm originally from Vic and a personalized plate costs $2500 where as vic it costs $500 same as rego here for a 6cyl it's like $800 and a v8 is neally $1200 a year it's **** where as Vic it's like $650ish no matter what car.... But as for mods the only thing they don't like up here is nitrous and tubs pretty much everything else is ok with in reason, I've seen so many blown v8 driving around with 6/71 ect and never get hassled

ANY mod to ANY car technically needs a mod plate if you were to go 100% by the law. I have an original 5ltr auto VL and now have an injected 5ltr 5 speed in it. A safety certificate was not able to be performed until a mod plate for the injected motor and 5 speed was on it. The inspector said even you changing wheels from original technically needs a mod plate. Now we all know that's just crazy stuff. Short answer is, you need a mod plate if your modified your running gear such as bolting on turbos updating to later model engines (v8's). Don't get caught out

Depends who u get to do the Roady Some "dodgy" guys just say don't drive it for a week after theroady so they are covered They can just turn around and say the mods were performed after the inspection
