hey guys

looking at a car in qld... its stock so no mods... complianced and rego over there...

want to buy it and bring it back here... however so many myths go on about transferring it into SA rego and into my name... trips to regency blah blah

can anyone give a straight deffinate answer?

I did this 18 months ago. (Qld to SA)

Just take it down to Sturt St? Inspection station for a Vin check, then drop the papers and Qld plates off at your local motor reg office and collect your new plates and a rego sticker.

Sturt St Inspection station are much better than regency, just make sure obvious defects are removed (tyres etc) but if its stock you shouldnt have too many problems there.

It depends where you live. I tried to do the sturt st inspection as everyone said it was easier to get through there, but they told me due to where i live it had to go to regency park. This is no biggy tho! it doesnt go to the "pits" for a simple state rego change. They have a new warehouse building you just roll your car through, they do engine number and VIN checks to make sure nothings stolen and everything checks out. Obviously you cant roll through there with a big highmount, but if the car is stock you will have no problems whatsoever.

I took my perth registered GTR through there with Z32 AFM's, HKS turbo's, and Power FC. All i did was bolt a stock exhaust on and it was stock height. They checked the numbers, had a quick look at the tyres and that was it. All they looked at inside was the odometer. None of this kickpanel off business you get through the pits.

You'll have no problems at all, the whole process took maybe an hour, most of which was waiting for my turn, then you take the papers they give you to the office next to the pits and get your new plates. The car inspection took all of 5 minutes, then another 5mins as he went to run the numbers.

the other way to do it, is if you can get it regoed in your name in qld (use a relatives address etc) then all you have to do is take your qld rego papers with your name in to transport office anywhere and they transfer it straight over, thats how i got my car done when i moved here, because it was already regoed in my name and still had current rego they just transfer it across didnt even need to see the car. But since yours has no mods then i wouldnt worry bout it...

Just did it yesterday myself. All you do is go into the transport office, fill in the paper work and bam, that's it. That is providing the car is in your name so you don't have to go over the pits or anything >_<

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
