Hey guys does anybody have information on the viv laws? has anything changed because apprently everythings different now and you need some sort of spec's for the car i have been told by someone who does viv's but i dont know if his talking sh!t. Im currently in the process of buying an S15 damaged and i was wondering if its true if it is ill just end up buying a complete car. Thanks guys.

For VIV you need to take photo's of the damaged area,detailed photo's of all the repair work,have all receipts for parts and if you get any from the wreckers the receipt should have donor vehicle VIN number on it.Once thats all done you need the car to be checked and have a report written.Once all your paperwork is done you book an appointment for a VIV inspection through Vicroads,they will tell you date & time of where to take the car.In my personal opinion do all your homework first because unless your getting this car for next to nothing it might end up costing you more to repair than just going out and buying one in one piece.A friend of mine recently bought a Subaru,by the time he was finished with repairing/getting the report/doing the VIV inspection/roadworthy/registration the car cost him around $15000.He could have gotten one for around $16-$17000 and not go through the hassles he did not to mention the resale value isn't as good on a car with a VIV. Hope this helps

Thanks a lot mate ill be doing my homework and by you telling me all this i rather just spend 15k for a Spec R with no damage histroy and one thats looked after then going through auctions that god noes whats wrong with the car engine might be blown or other things wrong with it thats not in the description and have to go through to many hassles thanks bud for the information. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No problem. Just trying to save you the headache,with all the changes to the RWC laws, you would have been pulling your hair out trying to get that thing fixed & registered.

^ as above, good advice

Thanks mate, your advice got my mind to buying a full car with no damage history got it registered straight away and has low km's i paid 10k for it so im happy thanks for the advice it really helped. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
