If you buy a car from interstate and bring it in SA, is it easier if the car is already registered?

If the car is un-registered but has a road worthy certificate what would need to be done to the

car once back in SA to get it registered?

Has anyone gone through this process before?

I've done it from Canberra to Vic before, and basically the RWC from another state means jack, you'll need to get a new one in your state of registration. The only benefit of getting an interstate RWC is that you've got a better chance of passing roadworthy easily, as technically it should be up to scratch. The reality may be something else entirely though...

Does it make it easier if the car is already complied in another state but not registered. (intrusion bars, etc)

In theory, would it be easier to get it registered first in the other state and the bring it over to SA then transfer names, etc?

Buying a car interstate is very easy to do. Ive previously lived in SA and bought a car in NSW. Make sure the NSW vehicle has adequate rego till the car can be transfered in SA.

Within 14 days take your car to regency and get a vehicle ID check done. Its not a roadworthy, its a check to see if the VIN is all correct. Its just to make sure its not stolen etc.. They shouldnt give you a hard time about mods etc...

Costs about 400ish for 6 months rego, and youll pay the transfer fee for the car at regency.

Cancel the nsw rego and CTP greenslip on the vehicle and get some cash back. Hand in the nsw plates to a motor registry.

Enjoy the savings youll make.

dont know too much about cars that are unregistered. I know that if you were to get it registered in nsw first you would need a nsw address as you cant register nsw car in a sa address. Toll transport charges about 350 to send a car interstate from nsw to sa.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
