well its illegal to not do so.
You can drive for eternity ( or atleast until your next rego - where the pink slipper is supposed to check all details and match with current records)
or you will get pulled over and busted the very second you drive on the road.
would there be a find involved? lost of points?
you would have to send a direct email to vicroads to ask what it is , and what demerit points involved.
Obviously , your car would be deemed unroadworthy and illegal to drive until details are updated. That is - you wouldnt be able to drive it.
why dont you just change/register it?
you haven't mentioned what motor you swapped (D16 ---> B18etc??) in but you also know if you haven't informed your insurer if you have an accident your insurance will be void
you would be in my condition. i drove without registering the engine. i got busted hard by the popo and now i have a car with no rego sitting in my garage waiting to be put back on the road lol

if you were to get busted for the engine. I;m not sure about the poiints but it is very RARE that cops check the engine codes and lost of rego stickers dont even have the engine number on them.Quote:

If i were you i would just register the engine it will do you well.
1. No worries
2. Its not that hard
3. Its the Legal way.
While on topic, how do I register a b16a turbo into an ek1? As in what do I need? engineers cert and blue slip? If so where can I get there. I should have receipt for the engine purchase from japan.
only problem im worried about is that the car is under my dads name. and im not nominated as a driver for my insurance. could this be a problem?
