Lot of complaints about western Sydney residents transporting vehicles to be pink slipped or engeered in more rural areas like Newcastle. The issue is people want the money back from the cancelation of rego and still drive it--the vehicle may have been damaged in other states in years gone by.
items like bull bars that are not factory/aftermarket approved extras will become difficult from this year. plenty of explaining literature on RMS site.
Plenty of safety brouchure that explain the standard needed to meet. they often don't explain how you go about it as they a written in poor legal only jargain.-so you ring the help line. easier to get an engineers report reweigh the vehicle -it might be cheeper.
I had difficulty with a West Australian regoed vehicle, They wanted me to travel in person and hand the west australian number plates to a case worker in the perth area and threatend a jail stay because an unregoed scraped car had no imobiliser fitted.

Handing in plates varies from state to state, don't know about SA but QLD plates can be handed in when you get the NSW ones and the receipt can be mailed off by the registered owner for a refund of the remaining rego.

Looks like I'll be using that 3 month transfer window and just getting a tester to look and work through it.
It's not too big a deal, SA doesn't do this and I wonder if they should, the amount of POS I see on the road would make me hedge towards yearly or 2 yearly checks.
It may also be that I'm used to the UK MoT which could be an absolute pain for rovers due to rusting in areas, but there is a very definite check list for the MoT that you can work through.
Why NSW, ACT and QLD can't just accept everyones roadworthy is beyond me, ACT especially, in Quenbeyen (sp? sorry!), if you park your car on the other side of the road can you register in NSW even though your home is in ACT?
As it stands, we are far more likely to live in NSW in one of the nearby towns (where is a massive shed and 3 phase going to come from in the city?) than in ACT anyway.
Thanks for the replies, no doubt you'll see some more questions if it all happens.

Unfortunately if you live in NSW you must register in NSW, same for the ACT. If you have addresses in both I guess you could pick which one but it should be the address where the vehicle is garaged. I had a company car and made the lease company reregister it in NSW after the dealer regoed it in the ACT. Annoyed them no end.....

As mentioned above, check RMS site for list of stations that do the "blue slip" and get one to do a pre check. We drove our 110 from WA and did this with out any probs. In actual fact went in for a pre check and came out with the blue slip.
It is more stick then previously because although they don't get much for doing one, if you get pulled up for a defect by police or RMS road side check and something is found the mechanic can be checked.

Actually, rereading an earlier post, what is the process for a trailer?
I have one that looks a bit scruffy and I'm not sure what modifications the previous owner may have made, it's registered, but I haven't noticed any kind of id plate on it.

Under 750KG ATM you would just need a blue slip I would imagine, no annual inspections after that. Over 750KG ATM must be fitted with brakes and requires an annual inspection.
If it does not have a chassis number you will be required to stamp one on it.

When I brought my trailer from WA to NSW it needed a check from a licensed inspector (? Blue slip - not sure if it was actually called a blue slip), and a weigh bridge ticket.
If it was over 250kg I was told it would need an annual check, and the rego fee was higher each year. My trailer came in at 240kg. Has this changed? The only licensed trailer inspector where I am was an ass, and said they pretty much never pass trailers first go. Funnily enough they are a trailer manufacturer...
