Hi everyone,

I'm in Adelaide and now going to buy a Skyline R34 in Mel next month, right now the problem is that the seller dont have time to do the RWC. So is it possible to do it in SA? I also heard that the paper work in Mel is different to SA, they must do RWC and sign agreement before they can sell the car, is that true? So if its possible, can u guys explain to me how to buy a car from Mel and transfer it in to SA plate STEP BY STEP？ English is not my first language so I need ur guys' help!!! Plz!!!!!

Thanks

Andy

Pretty sure they do need a RWC to sell, best ring Regency park on tuesday and see what light they can shed on it for you. Their number is 13 10 84, maybe some of the other guys on here might be able to give you a few more pointers aswell.

You dont need a RWC to register it in SA, and he can sell you the car without the RWC done. You just need to sign a form saying that you knew about it and that it is your responsibility to do it before ownership transfer, which wont matter as you're registering it in SA.

I did exactly that with a R33 GTR a couple of months ago, see my post.

There is much information on the topic on this forum but much of it is contradictory.

How to buy car from Vic:

1. Check the car isn't stolen, damaged, or under finance by running a vehicle check on vicroads.

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Regist...orePurchase.htm

2. Goto vic, check whatever you want to check on the vehicle.

3. Sign a contract, something obvious "I seller have sold my car to buyer on date. sign date lots, witness" and both take a copy.

4. Hand over your cash and take the keys - I used a bank cheque. Get a receipt if possible.

5. Rego cant be transferred so you have 2 options here - Drive the car back with the current rego or get a 1 day temp rego from Vicroads. Option 1 is best as you now have a registered car that can be driven for up to a month in SA as is, but the seller must understand that he will get the speeding fines etc so dont do anything stupid. Option 2, you need a temporary rego from vicroads that says exactly where you will be going, you will need a temp rego when you get to SA too and then you cant drive your car after you get it home until you go through regency. Take option 1 if possible.

6. Goto regency, fill out paperwork, go through an Identity Inspection. Its not a roadworthy as chef_stagea said, so don't have anything obviously illegal and you'll be fine. Get new plates for your awesome SA registered beast.

7. Post back the vic plates (especially if they are custom as they are state specific and are useless to you).

8. claim a refund on the vic registration, they sent me a cheque for $300 :)

I have in-dish rims and an aftermarket front but wasn't a problem.

Hope that helps.

i would be hesitant to buy without a roadworthy...

i looked at car from melb "didn't have time to get a roadworthy" when i got the vehicle inspected it had a stack of problems.

the second car which i actually bought was modified more than the first but the owner was still willing to put it back to standard and get a road worthy. they aren't as strict over there so it didn't take too much.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother

      Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)

      I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading.

      Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?

      Stagea Automatic Box

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
