I think the answer is Yes and No

The RWC wont be a problem when getting rego in Adelaide (after an identification check), but it may stop you getting the rego you need to drive it here.

Perhaps put it on a trailer, tow it back and register it here (Visit Sturt Police yard for the identification check, not Regency)

I'm in the same boat. Instead of starting a new thread I'll ask here.

I'm looking at buying a fresh import from Victoria. It has a RWC but no rego. I was thinking of letting the owner rego it in Vic so we can drive it back then transfer the rego to my name. So if any major issues arise, he will deal with them (like defects/requirements). Once its here I can go to Sturt for ID check then get it rego'd here?

Thats what I did when I bought the wifes car in Qld. Use Sturt rather than Regency and all should be fine.

^^^ Same here.

I got meself two cars, one from QLD and one from NSW. Took them both over Sturt's station with no problems!

:blink:

hi,

if you live more than 40km away from the city, you can take the car to your local police station, it will cost you $46 for the ID check(from what i remember). i bought a car 2 months ago and i am living up north. took my car in with coilovers, EBC and timer. they didnt give me any troubles. but guess i was lucky. i suggest you to hide all the aftermarket bits and make your car as stock as you can. shouldnt be a problem at all.

good luck

The car I am looking at only has Rays Gram Light wheels, Tein Coilovers and a Blitz exhaust, oh and a 7 inch, foldable DVD screen in the console. Everything else is stock.

Is there any requirements with the tyres? I heard somethign also about globes or bushes on some cars.

i had to still take my gtr thro a roadworthy check when i got it back from VIC, as i brought it in VIC and drove it back. if the car is currently rego'd, then there should be a current RWC(until u transfer the rego i believe, if it hasnt expired), so if you do get it talk to the owner and see if they are happy to leave it in their name until you get the car back here. which is what i did. i took mine to the goolwa bus depot, where they have a pit that regency uses.

    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
    • you, sir, are a prince. good on ya.   
    • You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.
