Re: department of transport question qld
why not make your truck roadworthy, and take for inspection - legit style?

Whats been defected?
Who defected you? Cops or DOT?
What have you got on your truck that you KNOW is not, well, legal? If anything.
And whats the lady with big assets got to do with anything

Yeah WTF when i bought mine it was unregistered, A week after i bought it and after i had a roadworthy done by a friend i found out it had a notice to be inspected, So emailed QLD transoprt in short it said. "That when the rego is canceled the defect is also canceled" the reason in this is that it has to be passed by a approved roadworthy inspector and is ok to be re-registed after this. What it didn't say is that If it has a "notice to be inspected" it will stay with that Vin Number untill inspected, So i was at transoprt department with my ute and they said that it couldn't be registed. It was late in the arvo so the guy called around the next day i went in the next day to get the plates then i was told that i'd be sent a notice to have it inspected. 1.5 yrs and nothing yet it doesn't get road driven so i doubt i'll be spotted in it and doubt i'll ever hear anything about it and hope not if i do it'll be a good F

I got defected on tyres about 2 years ago by police, so de-registered it. Rang transport 2 weeks ago the lady on the phone looked up the VIN and said NO outstanding defect.
But it depends on the defect, if it is sighted by a transport inspector and marked down as a malicious defect (dangerous) it may be attached to the VIN. The lady told me a new rego in a new account so the previous defect was cancelled.
It was a major defect for unroad worthy vehicle, no front side rear mud gaurds, no flares on front gaurds (gq coil cab), protruding tyres.
Good luck with it, what was the defect?

1 OK the defects were TYRES/HIGHT/LIGHTS enough to make me go over the pits
2 the questrion is about the derego and rerego if it cancells out the defect
3 A chick drove in in a crapped out commodore with the mentioned faults and was let go because she had a big set of cans??(my opinion of coarse
4 transport inspection station with 6 willing and eager inspectors and one cop
5 vehicle is average condition for its age but do they realy hammer you at bundall inspection station like i hear

Wouldnt it be logical to make it roadworthy, then not have to worry about gettin nailed again and again?
Both my trucks were engineered for their mods, and would pass no problems, sorry to disappoint you.
they are very picky on everything, if its not better than showroom you will have problems, change what you can n get the proper documents to get what you can complied.
Mine is plated for what I can get plates for, everything bar the suspension, so if a cop looks at it n see's mod plates n a list of codes he is less likely to look to hard n will just check lights ect.
Can you tel us what mods you have, also check the vehicle codes for mods, that will give you a an idea of what you need to get right.

ok the list
1 aftermarket trailing arms
2 5 inch coils
3 tough dog panhards
4 caster plates
5 cargo barrier
7 lights on roof not on high beam relay
8 dont know about arb high mount bull bar with winch rollers
9 the cars done a few kilometres and has general body fatigue
10 mud flaps and told standard flares required
now my question was can you derego it and rerego it and cancell out a defect notice. also the car is not in dangerous form and remember that i live in queensland.
11 forgot to put sway bars front and rear on list, even thoughh it only had rear from factory
Last question it had drum brakes rear and now has disc does this need a plate
ok / for bogged do you trailer your car to comps , please check your tyres for side wall scratches as this is a offence as i found out , and do you live in qld or nsw as qld rules are very difficult to obey even if you realy try
Every car is capable of being defected no matter what you have

the ARB bar should pass as these were used by police n forestry dept,
all suspension will need to be removed,
put a relay on lights its easy,
any flares should do,
I dont think you need a plate for cargo barrier unless it changes seat capacity,
what trail arms are they?
you will need to do the rear swaybar,
fix body cracks,
mud flaps need to be no more then 250mm from the ground,
disks should be fine but you will need the right size master cylinder as disk version is bigger (drum is BM50?, disk is BM57)
As far as de-rego only an idiot would write a roady for a defective vehicle, you would have to de-register n leave it for a while then re-register or it would look sus. Or de-register n ring Qld trans n ask if the defect is still there but I would still try get it passed if you need the vehicle.

Funny thing is I wouldn't be suprised if your 4x4 had half the same mods as this bloke. Just because its registered in another state doesnt make it any safer on the road. Just legal.bogged wrote:So is your truck dangerously unroadworthy.. good that its off the road.

You'll learn to ignore bogged over time, mavzilla.
Anyway, short of returning your truck to standard/legal, and getting it ticked off, I'm not sure there's much you can do. This de-registering/re-registering sounds a bit touch and go to me.
If it was your only means of transport I can understand it being a problem. If not, stick her in the garage & just start swapping stuff. Once it's ticked off then you may have to rethink about what mods you want to drive on the street with. (ie it may mean a second set of tyres for on road, some quick release flares, sway bar disconnects, and your roof lights on some sort of un-pluggable/removable roof rack type thing)
Just depends on how much work you want to do now, and how much you want to do if/when you get pulled over next time...
Ok the latest is it has 1 inch coils now, standard pahard rod, 1 inch shocks, standard brake lines, sway bar on the rear, caster plates removed, roof rack with lights comin off soon.
I appreciate the answers given ,but still dont know if deregistering will clear the defect so im goin the standard option
After seeing the car my wife said it looks like a pussy car now and the dog wont even jump in it.(please a moment to compose myself)
It is very disapointing to put so much time and MONEY into something and then loose it to the transport inpector gods.
OK i will keep posting untill the dreaded day in January when i get inspected, after that i will be very happy or in jail HAHAHA
Posative things - can now drive in underground car parks
- doesnt hit on shade sail at home now
- can reach beer in fridge a lot easier
Negative things -ormeau would probably kill it now
water on the bonnet on crossings now will be over the
roof
I need to be gay to drive it now
Oh well thats me after a very traumatic days ripping bits of my prized posetion, catch ya in the shopping centre car parks from now on

You were the one that put all the time and money into a vehicle you knew was defective. Its not DOT's fault in any way shape or form they are just doing their job 
I did a similar thing but only after 6 months. But have heard it has not worked for some.killalux wrote:i had a defect from QLD transport, and de-regestered it. re- rego'd it about 3 yrs later and there was no notice on it then.
Ruff is right too, If you moidfy for your rig illegaly you run the risk. The QLD DOT are only doing their job.
I think as others have said. If it has been ordered to an inspection and the date was booked then its going to come back on you once re-registered and you will then have to book it in for an inspection again. But if you do not book it in for the inspection in the first place and just de-register it you "may" get away with it when registering it again.basketcase wrote:I did a similar thing but only after 6 months.

i don't think he meant it against DOT inspectors, just that he's disappointed.RUFF wrote:Are you for realmavzilla wrote: It is very disapointing to put so much time and MONEY into something and then loose it to the transport inpector gods.
So where and how did you get done?
