Bringing In A Intersate Skyline And The Dredded Regency

[bmwpaul]

Hi all I've been a lurker for quite a while now , but I do have a question. I'm in Sydney at the moment for a few days. and I'm in the market for a R33 Sedan. Have found one here and will get out at some time for a look. So..... the question is If I buy out of SA will the car need to get inspected, and what should I expect Has any body gone this route? Thanks for the feed back

Cheers Paul

If the car already has rego in another state you bring it back and it just gets an ID check to make sure its not stolen etc and as long as it doesnt have anything obviously defectable it ought to be fine...

2nd that!

All obvious mods remove, and you'll be fine.

I bought a 32 gtr in dec from melb, heaps of mods done.

Made it look stock, raised coilovers etc, remove gauges, pfc controller, boost etc.

All good, extremely worrying at the time but all i needed was Vin stamped.

That is not right the car must have a Complince plate if it has not got one you will have to have a full check over if it has all you need is a id check

If its got rego in another state, then it must already have a compliance plate.

Take the car to the Sturt Vehicle Inspection Station if you can, if the car has a few mods. They're not as anal as Regency.

I've gotta do the same for my Stagea, so I'll be going to the Sturt inspection station near the Sturt/Darlington Police Station.

a couple months ago i bought my 32 from VIC..it had vic plates and vic rego so all i had to do was take it to a cop shop, i went to sturt rd cop shop, and just get and id check. However if there are obvious defects such as gauges, too low, tint too dark like mine had they'll tell you to fix them and come back. However tif they believe the car needs to go over the pits coz it has alot of work done to it they will then send u to regency which isnt nice at all lol

good luck man

No just because it has rego and it maybe complied it still has to have a compliance plate on the back of the eng bay of on the inside of the drivers door if it does not have that plate YOU will have to have a full check over

If it has the compliance plate, its complied ... thats what I meant. Please learn to read. :laughing-smiley-014:

if it does not have that plate YOU will have to have a full check over

I'd rather the car get the full check over. I don't fancy a cop lubing me up :laughing-smiley-014:

Just because it has a compliance and it has been complied in another state that does not mean that it will get though here with out a full check SA still has to do a full check on "Imports" that come into SA .And he was talking about a R33If its got rego in another state, then it must already have a compliance plate.A car can have rego in any state and not be issued with a compliance plate

Yeah ... err ... thats what I was saying in the first place Glad you agree with me :laughing-smiley-014:

Anyway ... back on topic. Take the car to the Sturt Inspection Station next door to the cop shop and you'll be better off there than Regency, who have a larger capacity to go right thru your car should they deem to.

Hey boys now I'm confused.....my thoughts were that you can't get rego in any state without a compliance plate fitted & sighted by an official.

If that is true and this vehicle in question has interstate rego then I would assume that it would have to have a compliance plate fitted.

If that is also the case then a Sturt inspection for eng & vin is all you'll need (Wed & Thur 11am - 3pm & no appointment required).....just make sure there aren't any obvious things like dark tint on front doors, too low, tyres sticking out of guards, pods OK but must be secured, exh hanging on the ground, etc

They won't check ECU, turbos, fmic (unless 1/2 your front bar is cut away) and if exh is loud just idle into the shed.
