try this link it has pics

I notice they are leaving most things up to inspection stations and they " may not meet ADR,s" the only real thing they talk about is blackout lights and keys which have been border line since the series 111. As for the bonnet mounted tool holders  don't know what the rule is in Tassie but in NSW fishing rod holders etc are illegal unless in use so use them

bonnet mounted tool holders would not be a problem as it is behind the bumper bar, as like fishing rod holders that people mount out the front of the bull bar. same with spot lights must not protrude forward of the bull bar

The following information sheet is used by the VSS inspectors in WA, and as it is a NT document is likely to be used there also.

The second page had all the phone numbers of VSS below but it was removed before I got hold of it.

Thanks folks for a great deal of information regarding registration of Perentie's.

Am in talks of buying an FFR from a private sale, that is rego-ed in NSW now, and so doing the homework on registration requirements in ACT. So this thread has been quite helpful.

From this link - https://www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/app/answers/detail/a_id/83#!tabs-2 - I understand that a pre rego inspection could be done at any authorized station and need not be Dickson necessarily.
I called the Contact Centre and they pretty much repeated the same thing, that is mentioned in link above.

Can anyone who have had their Perentie rego-ed in Canberra confirm if inspection in Dickson is mandatory for this sort of a vehicle?

Thanks,
Abhi

I purchased a NSW registered Perentie FFR and then registered it in the ACT.
To do this I had to have a Blue Slip inspection at a Tyre Power place, any authorised inspection place can do it. Cost $64. The main part is the emergency brake tests. The trailer was the same. Since there are many ADF, Federal Police, Customs and Commonwealth Public Service Suits being posted into (and out of) Canberra, the Rego Transfer vehicle checks at authorised inspection stations is very common. You do not need a "Dickson Inspection" done by the labcoats as I term them to d a rego transfer. You do need the lab coats if doing an original registration.

Once you have the Blue Slip you have permission to pay high prices for number plates and sales tax to put it in your name. They check the market value to set the tax. I paid $650 for the plates, the tax, and three months rego.

Thanks for the info. Sounds good.

Hi Boys,

$650 for plates, tax, and 3months rego "sounds good" ?

Another rip off , I wish they'd help us save a dignity by putting a mask on and pointing a gun at us when they ask that sort of money.

Cheers 🍺

"sounds good" was because the Dickson pits can be avoided
Undoubtedly, costs would be involved in owning a Perentie. Hence doing some homework here to know costs + regulations involved from members' experiences across all states.

Buy an '87 model .... under a year until club rego

Got my 4 x 4 Perentie registered in Darwin today. No need for door locks, ignition key, bonnet tools ok. I threw an isolator with a lock on it so I can slow a thief down a bit until I get a ignition key/barrel. They just checked to see the lights/brakes all worked and it didn't leak.

I'm a bit sick about the rego cost though. Stamp Duty and Rego for a year was $1,100!

Just to dispel some myths about Perentie rego in Canberra...

If buying from the auction, all you need is:

Your Grays invoice showing the dealership number at the bottom

A unreg veh permit to drive to your roadworthy

A roadworthy from any service station/mechanic that does them

A stat dec from you saying the vehicle was sold without rego plates (you can prob do this at the ACT Shop Front)

Pay your rego at an ACT shop front.

Cheers.

I heard a couple of RFSV's in WA recently got registered with the rear seat fitted.  I would recommend anyone in WA take it in to Welshpool for the first test with the seat still fitted and try their luck, perhaps there is a perentie supporting inspector among the mix.  I didn't have that luck though.

That may well be the reason some got registered.  I am not sure but can possibly find out.  What is the difference between the 3,200kg and 3,600kg, I thought they only came in mk1 and mk2.  I thought the weight on my rego papers comes off the weighbridge ticket I got before rego,
cheers David
