hey guys, so im planning to buy a fresh import car.which is currently in vic im in sa. the car hasnt been registered yet so what i was planning to do is to fly down and get a permit from vicroads to drive it back to sa and get it registered here. my question is what do i need to have to get a permit from vicroads to drive it back? and when in adelaide, do i just go in for an inspection in regency? also do i need to get brand new tyres before i bring it to regency?

i bring new imports across from vic to adelaide all the time just ring vic roads and you can organise the permit over the phone they will then email you the permit for you to print off, they will need vin and engine number as for this end you will need a copy of the import approval and the compliance paperwork from the place that did the compliance as for tyres were tyres part of the compliance ?? it normally is if not you may need new tyres if the current ones are light on tread or in poor condition.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
