Rwc For Sa

[BillyMako]

I am looking at a r32 gtr which has no rwc in Victoria, can i buy it and drive it to Adelaide and then register it here without RWC????

Thanks

[ted180]

no such thing as rwc in sa.

edit: not sure you can drive it here? but it would need an I.D check at regency

they'd look over it too for any obvious defects...

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 live in victor harbour so does that mean i don't need to take it to regency and just take it to the local police station for an id engine number check???

[Murry33]

probably best to ring the Po Po and check with them if your down that way

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 Tom but from NSW, then went to Sturt and got it thru no probz

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!

buy it with rego is best option, don't worry about the RWC...you wont need it, drive it over to SA and all you need to do is organise an ID check/inspection in order to transfer the rego over

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

[Thomasino]

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.

If it has a compliance plate in the engine bay or inside the drivers door you only need a id check
