Defecting A Nsw Rego'd Car In Sa Not Possible?

[vinnie32GTS4]

Hi all, havnt been on here in a while since i sold my 32 bit before christmas, i miss it dearly now lol

Just want some clarification on SA police not being able to defect a car that is registered in another state?

Basically a friend and i have been told by numerous people that if you buy a car from a nother sate, e.g NSW, and you keep the registration in that state you cant be defected by SA police if you bring it down here...something to do with SA police being out of their juristiction as the car is under NSW law??

The reason i'm asking this is because "i know someone" who wants to get back into an import but really don't want the hassle from police and being defected and figured may as well do this as "their" family have property in NSW so "they" could register it there and bring it down here

Any help/advice is appreciated

Cheers

Vinnie

My mates car was defected and was QLD rego'd.

They will do whatever they want.

if the car is not deemed roadworthy, it can be defected within SA regardless of the state it is rego'd in.... same goes for cars with SA plates in other states.

that being said, the 5-0 probably would be a bit more forgiving seeing a NSW rego'd car doing hook turns in SA

why doesnt he just find a stock R32 or R33 and keep it that way?

cops will find it harder to defect a stock car.

lol, i like this guys thinking!

Its possible, but cops dont like the paperwork that goes with it so they usually dont stop interstate drivers.

But then we will lose our "hoon' image. And we wouldn't want that now..would we.

I heard that if an SA car gets a defect in Vic, basically, as soon as you pass back into SA, just rip the sticker off..however, it is still defected in Vic if you go there. I got told that before heading over to vic with some friends last year.

That's right Jake,then if you head back into the state you get defected in you can get in shit

there's no correspondence between states in regards to defects

[jrm]

As someone who drove their R34 for about 9 months on NSW rego cos I was too slack to get it transferred over, I can assure you I got pulled over about on about a monthly basis for a 'license check' and at RBT checks where they close off the road, I'd have to give reasons why I was driving a NSW rego car around...

Since transferring to SA rego, I have only been pulled over once in nearly 3 years since (though I did get defected ...)

ahh k so it is possible to get defected then i guess..maybe just not as likely?? Unless you have straight pipes, 20" rims and a trubo sticking out of you bonnet lol

Also not looking at getting into another skyline, although i'd love to the po-po have ruined it for me really by targetting them so much.. so thinking of getting into an evo 7..seeing as they sorta just look like a lancer lol

Thanks for your responses and many more are welcome too

my SA registered car got defected in Vic when i was on my way through to NSW a few years back.

I asked why an SA car could be defected in Victoria (mistake #1) when i was relocating to NSW to live. I was told by the police that they certainly could defect me and that the defect could get cleared in Victoria, NSW or SA regardless.

I rang Transport SA when i got to Sydney and was told that the defect was valid and on the SA computer system. I later cleared the defect when i returned the car to SA and all the defects were on the system at Regency (and then some, but that's another story best told with beer).

the bottom line is that if you get a defect notice interstate, the information will be transmitted back to SA so it will be valid - that's the benefit of a computerised system, i suppose. so if you have a NSW registered car here that receives an SA defect notice, then i presume that you would have to get that defect somehow cleared here or back in NSW - however, i don't know the answer to that one.

Its possible, but cops dont like the paperwork that goes with it so they usually dont stop interstate drivers.

i think that it was worse having an SA car in Victoria - it wasn't a pleasant experience...

if you do this,

you will have to prove that the alternate address is infact your place of residence

otherwise you are to transfer your details to the place of residence in (i think) 3 months.

if shit does hit the fan you can be put through the ringer as you failed to update your rego details and failed to transfer your license details, your records like electricity bills, rates, expiation notices, and voting details can be used against you.

or if you have a prang and the resident at that address claims it is their car, then you must be on the insurance details as a nominated driver or your insurance company might not cover you

why? just so you can have a bov...

its a big house of cards you are building to avoid defect, it only takes one card to see it all collapse.

better to avoid reasons for defect in the first place which i am sure you understand already.

i never transferred my license or rego details for 2 years in qld on an sa license ^^^ hence why i know about the above - i used the excuse that "i have only just moved here" but i'm lucky i was only pulled over twice by different cops b4 moving back.
