I called TransportSA recently when I was defected. I was told they no longer issue these permits. I had the girl confirm it with her manager, he said as your car is technically still not roadworthy it can't be driven and that loop hole had be closed. Looks like they lied to me those pricks.

Haha dude, you get different stories from each staff member in Transport SA. I got a permit once for the GTR ages ago when it wasn't registered yet, and the girl behind the counter told me I was not allowed one due to having no registration. After arguing with her and then her manager, I was allowed the permit (I was transporting the car to and from a mechanic - the car had a compliance plate, so it's fine). But she said "you're not allowed to stop the car anywhere along any roads or turn off on any other roads unless specified here" and I said "What if I had to go to the toilet and had to turn off?" she said "No. You cannot turn off onto any other roads".

Yet a few weeks later, I got another permit and put down all these different stops and roads and never got questioned... he even gave it to me at a super cheap price (must have gotten it wrong somehow).

Transport SA have no idea. Just go there and cross your fingers that the muppet behind the desk actually knows how everything works. Just try waiting in line at Service SA in the city and you're bound to hear a handful of complaints from angry people saying "But on the phone, I got told..." and "I want to speak with your manager! No! I will write to my local minister about how shocking your customer service is!".

you're allowed more than one stop as long is it listed in your route and as long as the stops are related to the vehicle's repair or final destination.

Laws changed not long ago regarding permits for unregistered vehicles possibly due to constant CTP issues

    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
    • Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol. 
    • Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks
