Converting the vette
Mattrix:
wouldn't i then need to have an NT address on my license? or could i tell them that i work up there and also work down here? but then, i wonder how many people like me go in there, obviously they would know that people would try to rort the system by taking their LHD car up there to register... you think they'd be painful about it or just be cool about it?

Mattrix:
Just had another idea. I know I can get a blue slip for it no problem, I have a mate that would blue slip it for me regardless of LHD or RHD, but apparently I need a:
"If the vehicle has been modified to comply with regulation requirements (eg converted from left-hand to right-hand drive or the fitting of seatbelts and child restraints etc) a certificate from a qualified Engineering Signatory to certify that the vehicle meets Australian standards."
and
"A weighbridge ticket."
how do i go about getting hold of these? Any "legitimate" engineers around?
Had another thought, maybe if I can find a cheap wrecked vette that has already had the conversion done I can take the bits out of that...?
just throwing ideas around here

You'll have to search around for a qualified engineer and be prepared to pay thru the nose when you find one. As for the weighbridge ticket, I got one done for my daughter's car at Kirrawee a year or two ago. Cost around $20.00 I think.
Mattrix:
that expensive eh? darn it. Was hoping I'd find one that would write me a certificate that said the car was RHD even though I had done nothing to it hehe
oh well... northern territory here i come. if anyone else has any more details on this post them in here, or message me.

Why not register a business name in Darwin someplace.. cost around $30.. locate it at your mates or somebody you knows home.. also register a PO BOX .. Make your company "Car promotions" or something..
..get it done and registered in NT.. take the car up their.. be organised.. take a week off..
.. register the car to you and transfer it to your companies name.. NOT YOURS.....
.. then truck it down, don't use it everyday.. and you should have little problems.. if pulled up .. its regualary driven interstate to different states.. but belongs up in NT..(or WA etc)
