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!

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.

    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 😄 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
    • Not the headlight. It's the DRL that serves double duty as white and amber. Would be the easiest way to make it happen, if fitting a BCM was in any way an easy thing. Otherwise you'd do it with some relay logic and/or maybe some diodes.
    • Would require a very smart body control module which these cars are about 20 years to old to have 
    • Sounds like using one of those configs modern cars use where they turn off the whole headlight these days on the side that the indicator is flashing on.
