I would guess that all conversions would need a complience plate.
However over 30 years old no conversion is needed and therefor no complience plate is needed. But vechicles must comply with regulations up to the year of manufacture.
I think.

I am of the understanding that all C4 compliance plates have been withdrawn by the Federal RTA. Only private inported C4's can now be registered.
So it looks like only C5 or later has to have a compliance plate.

But I also agree with "reserved" whether or not you have to have a compliance plate and whether or not your vehicle is left or right hand drive or 30 years plus old all vehicles have to comply with Australian Standards.

reason im asking is if a vette is bought in another state,how easy is it to get rego in another state.
my falcon came from sydney to s.a... took n.s.w. plates into r.t.a. and they swapped them.now i heard from another s.a. vette owner with a r.h.d 68 convert.he got it from qld and had a real hard time getting s.a. rego.cost him about 2k in inspection fees.but there are 2 vettes in town that i know of that had no such problems,both came from n.t. but were originally from s.a.

Yep that sounds about right nifty;30
It basically depends upon who you get at the RTA at the time of registration transfer as to whether or not it will be simple or difficult.;27
I see some Corvette pass with red rear indicators and some that have to change theirs to amber on the rear and both Corvette's are of the same year.:b4
So there is no way of knowing until you approach the RTA.
See if you can find someone who has done it easily and then try to use the same RTA and person.:luv
Other than that just put your head between your legs and prey;53

From what I've heard Nifty is that Qld have pretty relaxed RTA regs.  This usually causes a problem when a car leaves Qld for another state.  Unlike NSW who have the tightest RTA rules and regs.  So when a car leaves NSW for another state there is usually no problems.......So I've heard.
