If you buy a car from interstate and bring it in SA, is it easier if the car is already registered?

If the car is un-registered but has a road worthy certificate what would need to be done to the

car once back in SA to get it registered?

Has anyone gone through this process before?

I've done it from Canberra to Vic before, and basically the RWC from another state means jack, you'll need to get a new one in your state of registration. The only benefit of getting an interstate RWC is that you've got a better chance of passing roadworthy easily, as technically it should be up to scratch. The reality may be something else entirely though...

Does it make it easier if the car is already complied in another state but not registered. (intrusion bars, etc)

In theory, would it be easier to get it registered first in the other state and the bring it over to SA then transfer names, etc?

Buying a car interstate is very easy to do. Ive previously lived in SA and bought a car in NSW. Make sure the NSW vehicle has adequate rego till the car can be transfered in SA.

Within 14 days take your car to regency and get a vehicle ID check done. Its not a roadworthy, its a check to see if the VIN is all correct. Its just to make sure its not stolen etc.. They shouldnt give you a hard time about mods etc...

Costs about 400ish for 6 months rego, and youll pay the transfer fee for the car at regency.

Cancel the nsw rego and CTP greenslip on the vehicle and get some cash back. Hand in the nsw plates to a motor registry.

Enjoy the savings youll make.

dont know too much about cars that are unregistered. I know that if you were to get it registered in nsw first you would need a nsw address as you cant register nsw car in a sa address. Toll transport charges about 350 to send a car interstate from nsw to sa.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
