Lord Gruntfuttock Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 I 'think' they are before legally required? I have the exact same model with farm rego, plates etc, so interested to see how you go... 1 Quote

cjv2022 Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Hi everyone - can anybody point me in the direction of a good place in Auckland to Re-register my lapsed 1965 Land Rover? It is fairly good condition, but trying to avoid any major hurdles eg. repair certs or rust repair if I can help it... so trying to find someone semi lenient... Thanks! Quote

You're pretty limited as it's only certain inspection places that can do it, not just any old workshop. I used VTNZ, and even then not all branches do it. My best advice is to go over the vehicle with a fine toothed comb and fix anything that could be an issue, now - especially anything rust or structure related, and not give the inspector anything to write down. That extra time now will pay dividends later when you don't need to get a panel beater report for rust or something. 3 Quote

VTNZ in pukekohe is not bad for older vehicles, they have inspectors who are familiar with older vehicles There is no place now that is 'lenient' any more when it comes to re reg or compliance. Especially since the dramas that happened a few years ago with heavy vehicle certification, a lot of inspectors are scared of getting things even slightly wrong 3 1 1 Quote

cletus Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 Havent heard anything, That is kind of the current situation anyway, if theres any signs of repairs or if someone has undersealed the whole car / looks like someone has tried to hide something Unfortunately sandblasting can make things worse IMO if the person doing it is a fuckwit, like the ranger i looked at today that had many bits that were missed, got blasted but not painted, or the worst part, all 4 adustable OME shocks had had a tickle up on the chrome shafts with sandblasting.... 3 1 Quote
sleeektoy Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Found this article a good read. Explains things well. https://www.drivelife.co.nz/2022/03/dead-rego-how-hard-can-it-be/ 1 2 Quote
87creepin Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 If I buy a trailer that’s had its license plates lost, do I need to re-register it? What’s the bureaucracy costs involved with that? I’ll get it up to wof standards, shouldn’t be too much drama and is it cheep to insure a trailer? I’ve read the Nzta pages but you know they’re not very helpful. Quote
tortron Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 If rego is still live you can just get a replacement plate Tick the box where it says handing 0 plates in, and reason - lost Was about 20bucks last time I got one 2 Quote
87creepin Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 Cheers, This crusty trailer isn’t far from me, but reckon I might give it a miss. Not because it has hardly any lights, but the suspension looks suss. There’s others a few hours away that have leaf springs and for not much more. 1 Quote
holdenman Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 Anyone in Christchurch help me with where and how to vin a 1981/2 Suzuki bike that they sold new as a dual purpose bike? I understand about getting a JP declaration of ownership, and brake measurement etc but do i need some sort of confirmation they were sold? I found there is 1 other that has live rego Quote
Browny Posted May 16, 2024 Posted May 16, 2024 Is there a mobile vehicle compliance option in the waikato? Working on a project thats not mobile yet. Quote
Alfashark Posted May 25, 2024 Posted May 25, 2024 @AllTorque @cletus Can someone please move this to the wof/cert/reg thread? The man has a 1955 yank tank that was imported roughly 20 years ago and has sat in barns and sheds for most of that time. It's never been inspected and assigned a VIN in that time, but appears to have a mountain of paperwork including the bill of sale from the States, right down to the ID of the container it was freighted here in. Is it a case of packing it up onto a trailer and wheeling it into VINZ in Hamilton and starting the process? Quote

Hi Browny. I have moved your question into this thread. I think compliance has to be done an a VTNZ or VINZ site. They don’t come to you. You will want to have the car roadworthy before you take it there. What state is it in currently? 2 Quote
Alfashark Posted May 25, 2024 Posted May 25, 2024 I'll just jump in here for him - Currently needs some rust dealt to and brakes to be made operational. He's a competent welder/fabricator, so dealing to that shouldn't be an issue. I've suggested that if he tackles the rust in the rockers/sills, he document the process with photos for every little step - Correct? Quote

Best to do nothing with the rust before inspection, it I’ll pro badly get referred to a repair certifier regardless. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/entry-certification/i-and-c/vehicle-structure/threshold-for-requiring-repair-certification 2 Quote
