It's more than a rego check.

If it's not in your name already in NSW, you need to go for an identity check. And if you live within 40km of the Adelaide GPO it MUST go to Regency, well that's what the link below says ...

I bought my car from vic, all you got to do is get a identity check done if the car isn't registered in your name, i had mine done the Sturt cop shop and they weren't to bad there but there heaps picky about window tinting as long as the cars pretty stockish you should be fine

no you DONT have to go to Regency. well at least that was the case around 2yrs ago.

you can have it identified and inspected at the Sturt Road depot next to the police station..... on Tues and Thurs only between 9am and 3pm

make sure it is stock at time of identity inspection, have all your paperwork with you at the time, and it'll be fine.

Sturt cop shop does not offer this facility anymore and you have to go to the regency inspection centre at regency park.

It is a place arounf the corner from where they do the defects, and they will go over your car pretty well checking for leaks and the like.

If you have anything obviously defectablre you will not be able to get through, they are cracking down on this type of thing pretty heavily.

I had top take my 34 through there in november last year and got through fine with just an exhaust.

They questioned my window tint, but it is actually privacy glass, so they had to let me go.

It can be pretty nerve racking though.

Its not done at the cop shop it is done in the council depot next door on Wednesday's and Thursday's 9 - 3.30 with a lunch break at 12 - 12.30.

unfortunately i'm only authorized to do these identity check for vehicles going into our companies name otherwise i would be happy help out.

It is really easy and fast, they will check your tint and make you take off your front windows if it doesn't pass. You can stand around for a while if you go thee first thing in the morning. If you live out north regency would be just as easy, i haven't had any issues with any of these placed in the last 3 years i have been doing my job. but then again i only deal with Aussie delivered cars....

Why not get a SA R34 GTT..... ??

if you want to pay up to $5000 extra :thumbsup:

I flew to syd and drove the car back (make sure u get a 'cover note')

Regency took 10mins and gave it the ok, depends on the car of course

Got my 34gtt from victoria.. just went to regency (vehicle identity check)... had to be dead stock when presented. then went to rta with a slip saying i purchased from who and at what price and it was then in my name. pretty straight forward.

When I bought mine over from Sydney it just needed an ID check at Regency, but make sure your car has a green compliance plate in the engine bay.

Mine only had a black NSW Vehicle Modification plate, which doesn't count for anything in SA. So it had to go over the pits for a full inspection.

Just my experience, this was December 05.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
