Hi there,

I'm looking at getting my Stagea re-registered to SA. Apparently all I need is a vehicle ID check as it is currently registered in VIC. I've heard/read people saying all I need to do is go to the Sturt Rd cop shop, where exactly is it? What's the procedure, do I turn up when they open in the morning or do I have to book in a time? Thanks for any info!

I believe unless you live 40km out of the CBD only then is it a cop shop VIS.

Otherwise.. Regency inspection. :D

If its dead stock and in good nick you have nothing to worry about so transfer rego; if its modified and noticably so leave it regd interstate for as long as possible. :dry:

Absolutely stock apart from 17's. Will that be a problem? It's in very good condition otherwise.

Are they very strict with the 40km ruling? I'd rather go there then Regency and get pinged for my 17's.

you'll be fine with the wheels.

more so an ID check, of engine, body etc

yes you can go there, I did. it is along side the sturt cop shop, looks like a council storage lot, about 80m to the west (towards Marion shoppin cntr) of the cop shop, a cple of Big shed.

open tues and thurs only, 9am to 3pm.

when I went I took off my pod filter and boost controller, everything else was stock as a rock and fine. they tried to get me with the windows but I took evidence (20 photos of rego'd stageas) that they conform to the national ADR's.

you'll be fine, about a 20min vehicle check. tell em the wheels are standard with the nissan Dayz stagea. as they are. :rolleyes:

17's will be fine as long as the track isn't increased by greater than 25mm (i think its 25mm). So as long as your wheels aren't that wide that they stick out of the guards (or close to) then you shouldn't have a worry.

Its in the council depot next door to the sturt police complex. Just drive in and join the queue/fill out forms. cost $25 payable at marion rego after inspection. They will just check engine no, compliance plate and rego plates. 17's should be ok, but they may pull you up for any blatantly obvious defects tho. generally its pretty cruisy, but they only open a couple of days per week usually 10-3ish.

^^ok what they said!!

Went through the regency numbers check last week. The vin plate that has always been sufficient is no longer. The VIN must be stamped into the body. You can do this yourself with letter and numbers stamps/punches and a hammer or alternatively Regency park motorsport is directly accross from the inspection station and charges $50.00 to do it for you on the spot. It is a new rule that has come in within the last month. Mine was done on the shock tower of my 34 within 2 minutes and they passed it on the spot.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Yeah mine has the VIN stamped on the shock tower.

Only chance I have to do it is Friday so it looks like I'll be going to Regency Fri morning.

Brendan, good idea with the Dayz edition 17's by the way! That's what I'll say if they pick on it.

What can I show to proof to them the glass is UV cut and not tint therefore conform with ADR's?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.

      So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.

      Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power.

      I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.

      It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
