chris240 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Fellas Living in the ACT Does anyone know if I can apply for club rego in NSW or Victoria ? Obtaining club rego in Canberra for a Datsun is near impossible, as there are no Datsun / jap clubs in canberra which can issue club rego. Could I say that the car is based say in Queanbeyan ie just over the border at a friends house and apply for club rego thru one of the Sydney datsun clubs ? Do the clubs ask to see your drivers licence ? Fruuuuustrated...... Quote
Riceburner Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I looked into it through NDSOC down here in Victoria a while ago. I found It depends on who you know within the club as to how easy it is to get.... Not everyone who applies has to play by the rules. Keep us updated as to how you go. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 9, 2016 Administrators Posted January 9, 2016 If you transfer your 240z into my name, I will get your cheap classic registration in Victoria for you. Vellllyyyy Cheap Rego for you... Actually my 72 240z is registered in my name, my mailing address is in NSW but the vehicle garaged location is in Victoria (parents house). I guess it depends on how creative you wanna get? Got any relatives in Victoria? The real problem is if you get pulled over, you need to fill in the log book each time you drive. I'm not sure how kindly interstate 5-0 will take to you using Club Rego from Victoria in Canberra? I really wish that we had 1 set of Vehicle Registration Authority in this country, the different rules, processes and bureaucracy between them is just a waste of tax payer funds and duplication of effort. Too many cushy public sector jobs I suppose (not that you'd know anything about that in the ACT haha)... Why would they want things to change? Quote
dat2kman Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Contact/join ?? BMSC ( Brindabella Motorsport Club) mainly rally based, but they may offer a form of club/concessional rego. Do go for "Rally Car rego" t aint cheap, and has restrictions. Otherwise contact one f the Sydney Datsun clubs, they may be hapy to take your membership $$$ and issue a vehicle date f manufacture certificate, which you may need, along with proof of club membership. That should be ok for a NSW address, not sure if NSW RTA will accept the garaged address in the ACT for their Historic plated scheme cars. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Have you looked at the ACT rego site? http://www.rego.act.gov.au/registration/registering-vehicle-other-than-a-standard-car-or-light-truck/veteran,-vintage-and-historic-registration It has all of the information. I don't think it's that hard but is a bit restrictive for use of the car. Jeff Quote
luvemfast Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I'm actually not sure that club rego is legal in other states Given they are permits, not actually rego Edited January 9, 2016 by luvemfast Quote
chris240 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 Yep some obvious good points. Jeff, yeah Ive read all that, the issue is not with the rules of how you are allowed to drive the car, but my concern is that a club secretary within a ACT -RTA sanctioned club is the person who says you can obtain a club licence. Its a bit hard to join the HSV, hotrod, torana, morris, Vw, studebaker club with a Datsun for the purposes of only obtaining club rego. They wont have a bar of it. I actually wish our local RTA gave out the permits. Enough whinging from me, I will just stick to paying full rego. Quote
Riceburner Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Yeah spot on Chris, it should be handled by the relevant state authorities. From my dealings with the current setup there's a heap of shifty business happening depending on 'who you know' within the club and only certain people doing what actually IS required for the permits. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Chris I here you. If you want to purse it I would suggest you join either the BMSC or try the Datsun Sports Owners Club of Australia. Both are members of the council of ACT motor clubs. Another option could be to approach the Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club to see if they are interested in affiliation with the ACT council. The club does not need to be in the ACT! As an example the Datsun sports owners club, Ferrari owners club of Australia etc. Jeff Edited January 10, 2016 by CBR Jeff Quote
CBR Jeff Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Does not look like it's too hard to become affiliated. All you need is a club. https://actmotorclubs.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/cactmc-annual-club-return_201505v2.pdf This is the form does not cost much either. Jeff Quote

They've been the only club I have approached and the one I was referring to above, they have two different sets of rules depending on who you know within the club and what is or isn't required regardless of the actual rules around the permit. Best of luck and happy to be proven wrong Quote

Best of luck and happy to be proven wrong Yes that's who I picked but it does not need to be them. My reading of it and looking at the other listed clubs it could be any club who has an interest, within reason. I must say I have know knowledge of the NDSOC I just did a quick Dr G. I was actually looking to see if the Nissan Datsun Drivers Club still existed in NSW and it does. I just picked NDSOC as an example as they seemed boarder based not just Rally/CAMS. I am betting that what you say is very true for a lot of special interest clubs. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Maybe the "Z Car Club of Sydney"? I am sure they would get a few extra members out of it from the Canberra folk. But its all just theory unless Chris runs with it! Jeff Quote
road rider Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Does it matter what state the car club is in as long as you are a paid up member.It's not the club that issues the rego but the relevant registration authority there in the ACT. All you need is a current roadworthy certificate, relevant documentation etc. You front up to motr reg and get your plates. Might be good to call them first though Quote

Might be good to call them first though Sorry but the information you have provided at least for victorian rego is inaccurate. You must belong to a club and be a financial member, that is authorised by vic roads as a red plate club. Not every club is authorised. you need a current RWC and a signed official vic roads document from the club signatory, before going to vic roads for the plate.

Linton Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 This is what I'm referring to, a current RWC is the part that IS NOT required from the numerous discussions and emails I have had with many current permit plate vehicles. Hi Gareth there are new changes to the Victorian red plate scheme I have copied the below information from Vic Roads concerning a new registration New requirements commencing 31 January 2015: When signing new club permit applications, club safety officers/scrutineers will be required to complete a Vehicle Eligibility and Standards Declaration form declaring that the vehicle is eligible, safe for use on the road and that it meets the applicable requirements for the category of vehicle for which the club permit is sought. Initial club permit applications (not renewals) for vehicles manufactured after 31 December 1948 will need to be accompanied by a current certificate of roadworthiness. Initial club permit applications (not renewals) will need to be accompanied with a document of proof of ownership or management of the vehicle. For pre-1949 vehicles, clubs will continue to conduct their own safety inspection (which may be a certificate of roadworthiness or a club safety inspection based on VicRoads’ guidelines). New modification guidelines specified in the Guidelines for modifications to vehicles operated under Victoria’s Club Permit – Vehicle Standards Information No. 33 (VSI33) [PDF 296 kb] apply. If an initial club permit application is submitted for a vehicle that is modified outside of the appropriate modification guidelines, a Vehicle Assessment Signatory Scheme (VASS) approval certificate covering the modifications must be provided with the permit application. An “M” club permit plate will be issued to identify modified vehicles where a VASS certificate has been provided. Clubs are required to maintain dated photographs of vehicles entering the club permit scheme in accordance with the new Club Permit Agreement. Quote
Riceburner Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Hi Linton, Sorry I should of specified I did all my enquiries and investigating prior to 2015 when I was considering it. My understanding was under the previous rules the RWC requirement was the same for the new permit vehicles and modified vehicles were a no no? Now it looks like the new rules will cover more of the grey areas and put a stop the shifty dealings. Quote
