~Slideways~ Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Tony Lynch of Lynchbuilt replied to my email saying he did build the cars including this one based on the spec and he has offered his help which is awesome but for the paper work he suggested trying to find Stephen Fleming who was the owner of the rights in NZ. He took care of the paper work. Tony hasn't been in contact for many years. Some googling and the only accountant Stephen Fleming I can find was in a Stuff article about some IRD trouble. His age and location in the article fits... and I've found a bunch of companies under his name all in the same area that the Stuff article says, but no email or phone contact. I could send a letter... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would prefer you used one of their special Stat Dec forms, but saw no reason they couldn't accept the generic one signed by a JP (yes, that's how they said it, "couldn't see why not" ). They didn't specifically need anything but the Stat Dec and printout from NZTA about the black plates. Also see the post I quoted in this post, in the original post. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hey y'all. Hypothetically, is there any way to reverse a lapsed registration? I'm pretty sure the car in question fell off hold in May 2017 and the owner didn't realise until it went for a WOF the other day. I've heard there's a form you can fill out to reverse the cancelation process, is this true? Asking for a friend. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 They can put it back in the system. I bought a car for parts (with rego on hold) and when it arrived I decided it was too good so a couple of weeks later I go to get it a wof and told its been dereg, wtf I thought, called up ltsa about it and the previous owner dereg it after I bought it so ltsa reinstated it with a few clicks while I was on the phone to them. If only it was that easy to rereg a car thats just fallen out of the system 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It's possible under certain circumstances - a friend of mine took her Civic Shuttle in for a WOF only to find it had been de-registered for a few months. Turns out someone had deregistered there car somewhere else in the country but accidentally put her plate number down. Of course, no checks were done and they de-registered the wrong car. At first NZTA told her she had to eat the costs and hassle to re-register, and would lose the cool black plates. I think it was after calling up numerous times and crying over the phone that they eventually were convinced to reverse the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manamari Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 What sort of price would I be looking at to put a car on a chassis jig to see if its straight? If it is straight will I still need a repair cert to get it back on the road. Price? I've bought a p6 and its flagged in the system for a hit in left front (or similar)but cant find any evidence of this or repairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TimShadboltfan27 Posted November 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hello all. I now have some first hand experience in re-registering a motorcycle that has previously been registered in New Zealand. so I thought I would re-cap the process for those interested. Note: may vary for cars. the motorcycle in question is a 1979 Yamaha RX125. This particular bike had not been registered since 1986 and was not recorded in the NZTA data. The only proof of previous registration was it’s original plate and attached wof tag. a few months back I walked into the AA testing station in Napier and asked for everything I needed before taking it in. The helpful gentleman told me I required two things; proof of ownership and proof of previous registration in New Zealand. He stated as the bike was pre 1990 I did not require a brake declaration. for proof of ownership, AA provided me with a standard statutory declaration form which I filled out and had declared and signed by a notary public at the Napier District Court. This took all of two minutes to obtain. for proof of previous registration all I had was the wof tag and number plate which the inspector accepted. i rung them up yesterday morning and booked the bike in for the following day (today). Dropped bike off at 8am and by 11:30 they text to say it was finished. When I got there the inspector asked me to show all the lights and indicators etc worked. Then they ran it through what I assumed to be a standard wof check which it passed with no issues. the cost was $180 then registration for 12 months on top of that. they even re-used my original plate, even without having to get the authority myself from that lady at NZTA which was great. all in all a very easy process and the guys at AA Napier were extremely helpful and efficient. hope this helps for anyone who wanted up to date knowledge on how the process works. 25 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hood Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Here's a curly one, I've just managed to register a project Hilux that was brought deregisted. Knowing at the time there were outstanding RUCs owing. But my investigations at the time led me to believe after a vehicle is deregd that any RUCs would be voided. So at the time of getting it legal, passing revin, new plates etc and even purchasing RUCs going off the kms on the dash. I've recently been sent a $400 bill for the outstanding RUCs that were owed when the rego lapsed. What's the go with this? Anyone else struck a similar debacle?

igor Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Shouldn't the outstanding ruc be the responsibility of the previous owner in that scenario same as outstanding licence fees would be if you had purchased with an expired but not dead or on hold rego? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another pointless comment. Thanks for nothing, lingor. @hood https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/licensing-rego/road-user-charges/about-ruc/ It's owner's responsibility but it's got extra issues in that whilst you may have to pay the cost of the RUC, the PO can be ticketed/pay as well. Before buying a diesel vehicle Make sure the vehicle has a current RUC licence. If you do buy a vehicle without a current RUC licence you will become liable for any unlicensed distance if the licence isn’t current. Call us to check the licence is current It is an offence for a person to sell a vehicle without a current RUC licence.

87creepin Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hey guys i read about 7 pages but just want some confirmation about my issues I have a 1987 prelude I'm parting out. It's rusty af. Auto, reg on hold. Say if I get rid of it, find one that's less rusty but say needs a new engine could I swap my better ish engine in and go for a re vin with little to worry about? Do they remove fenders, wiper cowl, weatherstrips, trim, bumpers etc to check for rust? I've been told that they do, and it costs $600 to go through this process - but my source is unreliable so I'm here as old-school is pretty credible!
