Hey how u going guys I'm new to this site. I just bought an R32 Skyline from Melbourne n drove it to Adelaide. It's still registered for 6 months with Victorian rego. I went to rgister it and transfer it into my name but I couldn't get it registered cuz they couldn't find a compliance plate so I got told they'll mail something out and then I need to go to Regency for a full Inspection. Any advice ?

If you have any rims, coilovers, overly load exhausts/decats, shit non-ADR compliant steering wheel, gauges everywhere boost controllers, turbo timers - Will all need to be changed to avoid a full regency inspection.

Welcome mate.

If it was complied in VIC prior to your purchase, it should only require a VIN & ENG No check.....can be done at Lonsdale.

are they strict at lonsdale? i know they are pretty strict at regency... just wanted to know lol

It wouldn't happen to be an 88 or 89 model would it?

If that's your car in as your avatar picture i'm pretty sure that i can see your compliance plate in Blue. (UNless the factory skyline plates are blue, the s-series ones aren't)

If it is an 88 or 89 model than it'd be complied under the 20 year rule and doesn't need an Australian compliance plate just the factory one.

Just to clarify, no compliance plate (i.e. it came in under the 15 year rule) means a full pit inspection at Regency, regardless of whether it has been registered interstate before.

Please use the search function - this has been covered dozens of time before.

And if you desperately need to make a new thread (for some reason), please be VERY descriptive as to what your thread is about - "Hello" is completely unsatisfactory. Something like "Buying a car from interstate, help needed" would have been much more appropriate.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
