Can wait for it to run out, can change it as soon as you get there, don't 'have' to change it at all if you go about it the right way, it's all up to you really and how well you want to follow the rules :) generally your 'supposed' to swap the rego over within 3 months.

They will just do a VIN check to change over rego - unless your car is blatantly illegal from the outside, they will not defect you .... but either way my knowledge is you don't have to do a full Regency inspection (which is an absolute nightmare).

Yep can verify that too you dont even need to take the car with you no vin etc etc, as long as the car still has current rego and is in the name you wish to change it too. my car wasnt even goin then (still isnt lol not long now but).

This only applies if you're buying a car from interstate .. not transferring nsw/sa registration (i wouldn't have a clue about that).

When i brought mine over from victoria, i need a Vehicle Identification Check (about $25 dollars) from Regency. They inspected the car, and although it's not a full inspection, i was not allowed to have a turbo-timer or boost controller installed (see my old thread from julyish).

Then you take this slip to RTA, and you pay your stamp duty and then you pay registration and collect your new plates.

100% sure Andrew. The car was already in my name in NSW, came here, went into Motor Reg, said car was in my name, already registered, they just presented me with a form, filled it in, payed a couple of bucks and bam, all done :w00t:

Didn't take my NSW plates either, but when I rang up the RTA in NSW to get my refund (still had 3 months rego) they said that Motor Reg down here shouldn't have even given me the SA plates before taking the old ones

Yeah this is what I also had to do when I bought my car from Sydney, though I didn't have to go through regency as I lived further south. They have a special check station next to the Sturt cop shop. I had a turbo timer on it , that wasn't really hidden very well but wasn't noticed & some very illegal tinting (since been changed) which was simply noted that it didn't comply, never heard any more of it.

They basically just check the plates & the engine number to see if everything matches, not much more than that.

ah well things have really changed then. When I brought my MX5 back with me when I moved back here from Darwin I had to take it to Regency for a VIN check, and while I was there they made me pull off my illeally dark tint there and then. He handed me a razor blade in a holder thingy and said I couldn't leave until the tint was off.

I had the same thing when i bought my RS260 from queensland in feb this year, the car was already in my name but i still had to take it to regency for an identification inspection, they checked all the numbers then had a basic look over the car. I got told my tint was too dark aswell and got handed a blade to remove it, i had to remove the tint from the whole car, but lucky for me the only windows tinted were the drivers and front passengers windows, the rest is black glass!

But the point is, the car was already in my name and i had to do it within 14 days of bringing it over. AND queensland reg sent me a letter asking me to return the plates.....which i never got around to come to think of it!

I brought a car form NSW when still living in Adelaide. Its a simple procedure and it was a different shed then were the defects get done at regenecy and all they do is check that the Vin number is correct and they didnt even look over my car. They just gave me the new paperwork and I was on my way. very simple I also wait till my nsw rego had run out as a pain to try and get whats left of rego back need to write a letter and all sorts....

If you own the vehicle interstate and it has current registration you don't need an inspection. All you need to do is fill out a form and get some new plates like Luke said

I'm certified to register vehicles, and i used to look after interstate used registrations

as for calling you get a call centre that doesn't know shit. We always get customers that have called them brought the "correct"information in and it will get rejected by the registra.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
