Got a link Leigh? I had a look on the VicRoads website and as usual it was very unhelpful.

Given the attitudes of many I have spoken to at hot rod shows about anything not fitted with a V8, I would love to see the look on their faces when a Datsun (or any other small Japanese car) drives past with street rod plates fitted!

I would have thought vicroads would tell clubs of any changes?

It won't happen Street Rod permits are for Hot Rods only. The ASRF are the organization responsible for the scheme. They invented it and police it. There is no way in hell they would let any other car in to the scheme unless it was a Hot Rod. They are extremely anal about what cars are issued with SR permits.

So where does that leave later model cars with engine convo's then?

Someone mentioned earlier a possible modified historic plate? I've heard a couple of people say that now, might just be sh*t talk but it would make sense. It's a bit of a grey area but there are a lot of cars on historic rego that possibly shouldn't be.

We got out foots in the door already. We 'SHOULD' be right

i haven't heard anything about the above,

And all modified cars are approved or rejected on a case by case basis,

We have a 1600 with a SR20DET Which has been engineered and fully registered previously which has just gone onto Club plates.

Well that's our club anyway.

Where's the change in rules? Still states :

"Classic and Historic vehicles - manufactured after 31 December 1930, but more than 25 years before the date of the application for a club permit.
These categories can include trailers and modified vehicles such as street rods. Vehicles which are replicas of vehicles in the abovementioned categories may also be issued with a club permit."

And :

"in the case of a club historic vehicle that is not a street rod, a current certificate of roadworthiness or a letter from a scrutineer authorised by the club, stating that the vehicle is safe for use on the road
in the case an application made in respect of a street rod, that is a vehicle modified in excess of the level prescribed in the Vehicle Standards Information No.8. (VSI8) document [PDF, 279 KB, 8pp.], a Street Rod Inspection certificate issued by any VASS Signatory [DOC. 1113KB, 7pp]"

So if you got a rwc or scrutineer to sign off on joining and saying your car is safe and you either have a vass cert or street rod vass signatory.

So it's only an issue if your either not engineered or the vass inspection guy didn't sign you off. I thought he did sign you off? Pm if you want to talk further or call lags

Exactly. Everyone is looking way to much into this. It took years of consultation and planning for the new changes to come into effect. They have thought it out and I'm sure all these issues were raised during that time. The internet Chinese whispers still seem to be working well though

how much is the street rod certificate in Vic?

Check Vic roads it's on their site

As Brad said, street rods are a whole different ball game and have nothing to do with our cars.
