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.

    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 馃槀  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
    • Are you talking about the oil squirters? There is only one place for them to go. Yes, you have to drill the holes. Yes you have to obtain the correct oil squirters (I presume there is some sort of aftermarket option available, because original turbo ones are going to be a diminishing resource).
