Bringing a SA adm s15 to VIC

Hi fellows, 

First post in this forum. I'm located in Melbourne and currently looking at buying a ADM s15 located in SA. The seller says it'd be better to check if the car can be compiled in VIC beforehand to avoid hassles. So my question is that is the compliance standards in VIC and SA pretty much the same? Even they're not the same, getting a SA registered s15 on the roads in VIC wouldn't be too difficult, right? Or otherwise, what is the best way for me to check if it can be compiled in VIC?

Here is the mods list from the seller:

- 85000km

- Genuine Work Emotion XD9's (gunmetal, 18 x 9" +30)

- Genuine OEM Japanese rear bumper + rear pods

- Genuine OEM side skirts

- Genuine OEM Japanese driver side boost gauge pillar with digital boost gauge

- Whiteline front and rear sway bars

- Heavy Duty Clutch

- Tinted windows

- After market alarm (immobilizer)

- Clear side indicators

- HID headlights

- Greddy Front Mount Intercooler

- 3 inch turbo back exhaust system (Kakimoto)

- Blitz (Jap) adjustable coil overs

- Modified GT rear wing (no middle column)

- After market head unit

- Pod filter

- Strut bar

- all the standard 200sx features

 

Do you guys think this s15 can be easily registered in VIC? Or what likely needs to be done to it to get it roadworthy in VIC?

 

Thank you for your time and I appreciate any helps and efforts.

If it's an adm car as you say,  then it can be registered anywhere in Australia as it's been complied for Australian delivery. 

The mods may cause grief with getting a pre-rego roadworthy. Things like coilovers,  exhaust mods,  bovs, intercoolers, hid lights etc. could cause problems. Best of to check those things with your local authorities as I'm not familiar with Victoria regs.

Thank you for your reply warps. I'll check with Vic Roads.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
