Transferring Rego To Sa Plates: Difficulties?

Hey guys,

How strict is regency for transferring rego from one state to SA plates?

Mods on the car at the moment:

POD

FMIC (uses standard SMIC piping, doesnt cut thru chassis)

HKS EVC-S (in glovebox)

Apexi Turbo timer - hooked up to handbrake?

Standard Wheels (plenty of tread)

Trust exhaust (pretty darn quiet, must have baffles galore - certainly has a couple of resonators)

Xenon Headlights

Rear Swaybar

DVD player (not earthed to handbrake)

Now, the standard airbox is going back in, front mount is staying there, boost controller and turbo timer are coming out next week and DVD is being 'legalised'....Anything else I should look out for? Or should I just polish the crap out of it, put the spoiler back on and she'll be right?

Any advice or opinions or anyone who had done this before in SA - hit me up!

Cheers

POD OK if ts secured

FMIC (uses standard SMIC piping, doesnt cut thru chassis) should b fine

HKS EVC-S (in glovebox) remove this guy

Apexi Turbo timer - hooked up to handbrake? and this guy

Standard Wheels (plenty of tread) its all good

Trust exhaust (pretty darn quiet, must have baffles galore - certainly has a couple of resonators) could go either way depending on the Db's

Xenon Headlights could go either way depending on the blueness

Rear Swaybar nfi

DVD player (not earthed to handbrake) earth it up and should b OK

Now, the standard airbox is going back in, front mount is staying there, boost controller and turbo timer are coming out next week and DVD is being 'legalised'....Anything else I should look out for? Or should I just polish the crap out of it, put the spoiler back on and she'll be right? yeah sounds good apart from the spoiler ewwww

f**king hell bro, use the search tab :)

btw; some R34's came factory with xenons so it shouldn't be a problem althought with compliance you have to switch globes, ID check won't know this.

you just need to go to a cop shop for a number check and if there are any obvious defects, as in emissions, then they'll send u to regency..thats what happened when i bought my old 32 from melb..took it to sturt road cop shop n just had to remove some gauges and take it back to the cop shop as it was only a minor thing to do.

I purchased an R33 GTR from Vic and brought it back to SA a year or so ago.

See my thread for the story: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/In...-T-t267077.html

Remember it's an "ID inspection". Very different from say a defect inspection or import where everything needs to be stock. They basically just match the VIN, engine & reg details. An inspector looks over the car for about 5 minutes and he didn't even look in the cabin.

POD - i have too

FMIC (uses standard SMIC piping, doesnt cut thru chassis) - mine was standard

HKS EVC-S (in glovebox) - nfi

Apexi Turbo timer - hooked up to handbrake - no problem for me but I did hide it inside the steering wheel column, didn't disconnect it, but it is illegal so best to make sure they dont find it

Standard Wheels (plenty of tread) - mine were 17" in dish rims

Trust exhaust (pretty darn quiet, must have baffles galore - certainly has a couple of resonators) - mine was the loudest POS canon ever but still no problem

Xenon Headlights - i have too - I dont recall the lights even being turned on

Rear Swaybar - mines stock

DVD player (not earthed to handbrake) - I have too, not sure about earthing but they didnt check any internal wiring

Someone correct me if im wrong, but for ID checks you can only go to either Sturt Inspection Station or Regency, not just any cop shop?

if you have the car registered under your name in another state then its as easy as just changing the address :)

no krishy it's not. When my other half moved from sydney he had to go to regency have a FULL inspection befor they would issue the change over to SA plates and they told him he had to get some things fixed

If ID check are the same people who do regular regency inspections .. or even if they call 'em over cos they're not sure - yeah. I say this because I got done for my factory xenons when I last went through Regency (he called someone over cos he wasn't sure). Because they're not auto-levelling and don't have any washing function, they don't pass ADRs.

Anyway, an hour or two with a foglight wiring kit, some cutdown H7 (I think) globes, and I converted them over for the next pass through - fairly easy (.. and horrible lighting in the meantime till I put the old globes put back in)

It was for me. I've transferred two cars into SA rego (N14 SSS and R34 GTT), one from NSW and the other from Vic - both in my name interstate and was a straight transfer, I don't think they even did an ID check, just signed some papers, paid my money, changed plates - voila.

i have had mates who have brought cars from interstate and had the car registered under their name.....and they did exactly what JRM did.....dont know what happened to your other half Kellz

Regency is hit and miss.

Compliance guys took my V35 down with privacy tint and they failed it yet i see countless numbers of stags etc cruising around with it daily! Im not fussed cos at least when i re-tint it will all match nicely, but pain cos it meant i lost one day of pleasantness and the goo left behind on my windows is proving difficult for even the pros to remove.

The sturt one got closed down. When I brought my gtr back from Victoria, they told me for an ID check it was either lonsdale or regency.

Got a ceffie through there today had to get a vin stamped on the strut tower the rest was no real hassle.Car was on NSW reg.The tier 2 is really just to confirm its not stolen defected etc etc..

Why did you have to have the vin stamped on ? Did you have a sticker vin instead of a plate ?
