Moving To Adelaide - Questions..

[B-Man]

Just looked that link to the SA rego rules and :

Unless you hold a current interstate registration certificate in exactly the same name as the intended South Australian registration

To me this has me covered - Cause I own the car and have current rego in my name - as long as I keep it in my name - which I will, then no inspection required.

The inspection is only required (by my reading) for people who purchase a car from another state, from someone else - This would be to maintain the car's identity.

Welcome (soon) to our humble little town.

Technically all you need is an ID inspection, BUT if they suspect the car is modified they can send it for a full inspection. I dont think re-shelling is required (as mentioned), BUT you will want to have the car stock looking.

Im not 100% sure, but I believe if you owned and registered the car (in your own name) interstate and move here there is no need for an inspection, just visit a motor reg office and pay for SA plates and Rego sticker.

check out http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/registratio...icles/index.asp and give an office a call to confirm the prices (may be cheaper to stay with NSW rego, but RWC will be a problem unless you go back for a holiday).

I've transferred two cars from interstate - one from VIC (n14 sss) when I moved here, and one from NSW (r34 gt-t). In both cases they were registered to me, with the same name/etc details on them.

In neither case did the people at Transport SA need to go out and look at the cars or do any sort of physical inspection - I did, of course, have all of the appropriate documentation, registration papers, etc with me, and the cars were both in my name, and everything matched up.

Anyways - hope that tidbit helps

Yes - sure am. Got to get it back from all the mechanical first. As you can see it's muti-coloured blue/silver.

The plan was that I was going to spray it myself with the help from a mate who knows what he is doing.

But if I come to Adelaide, the girlies cuz is a spray painter - COOL !

Hi B-Man, quick bit of info' you.

My work posted me from NSW to SA back in 2001, at the time my NSW rego papers listed me as the owner and all details were to stay the same - other than a new SA rego' number.

Regardless of the above I was still required to present the car to the Sturt inspection station - I elected Sturt as it seemed the logical choice for a Vehicle Identity Inspection. The Sturt inspector/s still double checked the VIN details and engine number to verify all was in order.

Even though the sole purpose of the inspection was to verify the car's identy, the inspector still cast an eye over a few of the basics - pod filter was okay, intercooler was fine - but there were numerous things he didn't check. In the end the only issue was my 'illegal' genuine Momo Race steering wheel. The wheel was purchased new from Revolution Racegear and was indeed legal according to the details stamped on the back of the wheel and ADRs. I didn't bother to complain, I just swapped the wheel over as request and an hour later I was good to go.

One point of note: I wore my work uniform - Air Force - to the inspection station and treated the inspector as I would expect to be treated in return.

As an expat NSWman I took a while to adjust to the slower big country town feel of Adelaide and SA in general, but now I really like it here.

The lack of regular drag strip is the biggest downside from a motorsport perspective, hopefully this will be rectified in the coming months/year. Plenty of decent workshops, performance parts vendors and automotive events/shows etc.

As for choice of locations to relocate to, it's best to take a visit and see for yourself, that's what I did.

Cheers,

Matt

Bman... here's my notes for you

kebabs = yiros, devon = fritz, telegraph poles = stobie poles, corner shop/milk bar = deli

you will come to love farmers union ice coffee and balfours pies

don't live in Elizabeth or Salisbury, it's the equivalent of Mt Druitt

the tap water is TERRIBLE

if someone mentions 'the bay' they mean Glenelg, and the 'malls balls' is the meeting spot in rundle mall (sculpture with 2 balls)

oh and the drive over from Canberra sucks arse

There are NUMEROUS threads on both the upper and lower class suburbs of Adelaide, so unless you live here, please don't comment. i live in Salisbury north, one of the "scum suburbs" of Adelaide, never had any problems, had a front window broken twice on our house and egged a couple of times, but thats because of a cock from high school who hates me for no reason and gets bored at night. Security cameras FTW
