NSW to QLD vehicle inspection

Don't know about NSW regs but those things certainly require blue plates (enginerring approvals) in Queensland.

Welcome to the Smart State.

Hi Eric,
You should only need one blue mod plate fitted for these mod's as several codes can be added to a plate. You dont have a long range tank fitted you? would need that done as well.

Hi Eric

I agree with Lex All those modifications require a blue mod plate in QLD

No big drama. Plenty of mobile blokes do this work. You should be able to do a deal getting three together. They usually cost about $ 90-00 each.

It's not an engineering feat or examination you require, it merely a modification plate for any changes you have done that are not the manufacturers or not complying to the ADR's for the vehicle.

There are many available mechaniclaltrade related people/businesses with the expertise and approval to issue you with a "blue' modification plate for your respective modifications made to your troopy.

They are not expensive, usually under $100 or a bit above, possibly depnenant on the modification and time required to ensure its compliance, suitability and safety.

As much as it might seem a pain for a southerner, just remember, you won't have to do another inspection process in it's life until you resell the vehicle..or let the rego lapse and have to re register it.....how dumb is that...lol..

Have a look here for some info on the process..and go visit the qlddtmr website.

If ARB has done all the work, then they should all the paperwork.
It should just be a piece of paper, to get your "blue plates".

After all, all those bits added have been engineered, and fitment has been done by qualified people..

Also would have thought that the yearly roadworthy needed to attain your NSW Rego, would have noted the modifications, with certificates.

Why not contact a Qld ARB outlet, they might do one for you??.

I really feel sorry for you.

I transfered my rego from NSW to NT for 15 months then when I got back to NSW I had to get a blue slip for the troopy.

Thats when the trouble started. They would not pass the troopy because it had an after market turbo and Turboglide did not have a certificate to give because for them to get certified it would cost too much they recommended that I take the turbo off, get it registered, then put the turbo back on.

Thats exactly what I ended up doing as the cost to do the exhaust tests etc would have been about $2500.

I got it reinstalled the day after I got it registered.
