Taking my 200sx through Regency

her200sx · July 2, 2003

Well, some of ya might know i bought my 200sx from Ertzilla from Melbourne. Tis a wicked car, but the next step is to take it to regency to get new plates. Apparently they have to do an ID check of engine etc.

Hoping they don't go into detail all over the car, as if it's been defected, cause it hasn't. Am goin to take the main defectable things off just incase tho. Boost switch, turbo timer, and pray that it gets through with the loud exhaust, bodykit, airfilter, massive intercooler and 17s.

What's the rule with intercoolers? as long as it's hidden by mesh? cause mine is..can't really see it. As it's only an upgrade, should be ok.

Has anyone had to go through this process of changing plates over? if so, any tips i should know... thanx.

Nar i think coolers ar fine but u can't hav the pipin havin been cut through any of the body work.

You're car will be THOROUGHLY inspected too

You might be lucky .... when I brought my old 1992 MX6 back from Darwin 2 years ago, all they did was check the vin, engine numbers etc. However they did notice my dark tint (which I had only put on in Darwin about 6 months before ) as soon as I drove in, they put a light checker on it and said it was too dark. They made me take it off there and then with a razor blade

But other than that they didn't look at the car (it was standard though).

Mind you it was a LOT less conspicious than your sounds, and as we all know, the fuzz (and all their friends), just loooourve picking on anything that is nice or out of the ordinary. Good luck!

Why change the rego? Ring up Vicroads, and get them to send the rego to your SA address.

I had a vic registered car in sydney for one year, moved to WA and then had it there for 2 years.

Never had a problem.

Of course, this is legal isnt it??? Because after all, you may move back to vic really soon.

pffft regency will go through the car with a fine tooth comb so don't kid yourself

hello my car has been off the road 6 months thanks to them being so picky

I took my car, complete with lots'o'mods, through for a VIS (Vehicle Identity Inspection) & only got knocked back on the MOMO s/wheel, which was actually ADR legal anyway.

However I didn't go to Regency due to the nasty reputation the place has (for good reason!) I went to another inspection station down south. Stuffed if can remember where it was though The place only does/did VIS's not full inspections.

My advice is to avoid Regency if at all possible. You can even have a VIS done via the local police station if you live in an area so many kms from the CBD. Have a read through the TransportSA website. Seek out the loopholes

hmmm engilish??? hehe

Becareful at regency, They knocked me back cos my rims had spacers, they are very very picky!

Matt: I thought VIS is regency??? Cos thats what they told me and did a full roadworthy check on my car.

Steve · July 2, 2003

ID checked only? You got lucky.

A guy at work just transferred the rego on his Landrover Discovery, late nineties model. they tried to tell him that the stock spare wheel was obstructing the tail light.

He protested loudly that it is stock, and that there is no where else for the wheel to be fitted, so how was he supposed to carry a spare? He then consulted with a collegue and only then gave it the green light. That was at Regency.

i have just changed vic plate to sa plate 2 weeks ago for my R33. the car has big intercooler w/o mesh, exhoust, boost controller, momo steering wheel, S-afc, rsm, guages, air filter etc and has no problem as the guy only check my vin and engine number. The only thing his not happy about is my car height which was 315mm where legal hieght should be 365. I change the spring for $100 and pass through regency the second visit easily. It was check by an old man Dont ever get your car check by the young guy cause he likes to act smart.

Enrico,

VIS is NOT a full roadworthy. It’s supposed to be for identity purposes ONLY.

As fat313 stated above, they look to confirm the VIN, engine, & compliance no's match what is recorded on the national database. They also check the car is legally yours etc.

Of course being Regency they'll be only too happy to pick up ANY unroadworthy item they notice. So if you get a bastard of an inspector lookout! Hence I'd recommend going to the place down south that I went to, if it still exists?

Here we go, have a read of this info from the TransportSA website - http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/registratio...inspections.asp

& here - http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/registratio...egistration.asp

Edit: It looks like the place I took my car through no longer exists Bummer. I'd suggest finding a residential address over 40kms from the Adelaide GPO, a family member that lives in a country town with a friendly local cop perhaps?

when i was driving up port wakefield rd a few days ago, i saw a light blue 200sx - shark eyes model, with a custom body kit. is that the supposively "fully sik" 200. looked liked it was going to this weeks auto salon - didnt see the plates so i dont know if its local or interstate, but probabarly interstate.

Maxx · July 3, 2003

if the light blue u mention is custom color(ice cream blue), it should be SA car, i seen him in city McDonald for a few times. Looks crazy, but not my taste...

her200sx · July 3, 2003
