If you've just bought the car from interstate you will need to take it through an ID Inspections - try and get it looking at standard as possible for that - remove all noticeable obvious modifications.

If ID Inspection finds a problem you will then need to take it through Vehicle Inspections which they will go over your car with a fine tooth comb. Which the following applies:

Front mount will be fine if the previous owner hasnt cut the re-enforcement bar

Apexi turbo will need to go - unless you cant see it at all and looks standard around the turbo area

Forward facing plenum... I have no idea about that one...

Pod filters will be fine if its mounted securely

Power FC will need to go unless it looks standard

Suspension needs to be correct legal ride height and if its coilovers it needs an engineers certificate to go with it.

If it is your car and are moving from QLD to SA then all you need to do is transfer the rego over at the Transport SA branch if the cars in your name and keeping it in your name in SA.

No you won't need to take it to regency for an inspection.

If you are moving to SA from interstate and the car was registered in your name in the other state, then all you need to do is fill out a change of address form at any motor reg office and away you go.

If you bought the car from interstate and it isn't in your name then it will ahve to go to regency and be inspected.

Yep, what he said :)

i just recently purchased a vehicle from VIC and before it was able to be registered in ADEL, I had to go through regency, not the actual department where they inspect your car after a defect but its just an ID inspection. The main motive is to check that your VIN and engine # etc, matches. But when i was there, a man who just purchased an integra from SYD, with extensive mods had failed 2 times and was told he had to go through the defect area. So if you do need to go through ID inspection, make sure your car is stock as possible. My car was stock (V35) but I failed to past because my rear tint was apparently too dark!.. which i had to remove in the car park and came back 5min later and past.

Here are the steps:

1. Get ID check done at regency (only if the car is registered in another state)

2. Go to motor vehicles (around the corner)

3. Take old plates off your car before you go into the motor vehicles and fill out the hand in plates form (saves you a trip and a waiting line)

4. Pay stamp duty (4% for ever $100 over $3000), registration, admin fees($21), new plates($21) and for the ID check ($think its was $30-$50)

5. Drive your car away

If you car still has registration you need to write a cover letter and fax it to the state stating you still have rego left, attach this letter with the form you receive back from the motor vehicles.

Hope this helps everyone.

    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate
