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!

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.

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

Clint, is it true, that anything that needs re-vin/re-rego from either June/July this year, needs full chassis/underside  strip/sandblast to check for rust ?

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....

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.

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

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

@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?

Is there a mobile vehicle compliance option in the waikato? Working on a project thats not mobile yet.

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?

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?

Best to do nothing with the rust before inspection, it I’ll pro badly get referred to a repair certifier regardless.
