Hi,

I just bought my gf a car from NSW, its wrx, has exhaust, pod and POV,

my gf is in Adelaide.

I am not familiar with SA road rules.

the car will be freight to SA in a week time.

anyone has some knowledge, please give me some advices!

what is the process of transfering registration to my gf's name?

do they have blue slip or pink slip as NSW?

as I just bought the car, in NSW I have 2 weeks to transfer the registration!

what about in SA?

when my gf received the car, can she just pay greenslip and re-new or transfer the car to her name same as in NSW or what else she need to do?

any advices appreciated!

Cheers,

Transport SA guidelines for interstate vehicles. Read that.

If you want to register the WRX in her name, you need to:

1. Get an Identity Check

2. Go to Transport SA and register car, pay fees (stamp duty, new plates, etc)

3. Apply to NSW RTA for a refund on rego fees not used.

Yeh quite a simple thing over here! There is a place called Sturt Cop Shop, Next to there is a place where they go over the car ie: check chasis no, engine no and so on! It's not really a roadworthy check but just simply to see if the numbers match up!

On the otherhand if she is here on business and is planning to return to NSW then you may as well continue registering the car over there.....worth a thought, allthough you guys have regular checks over there don't you???

thanks for all your advices!

regard to the identity inspection,

they don't check to see if your car is road worthy?

on the car at the moment has exhaust, BOV, POD,

it said on the transport.sa website, that the vehicle can be check at a POLICE station or Road Transport Assessment and Safety Group.

If she takes it to a police station,

they wont pass you would they?

my main concern are the mods that it has!

my plan was to quiten down the exhaust, remove BOV and get a stock air box. Abit of works there,

but if I could freight the car down AS IS and get an inspection without problem, that would be ideal.

DELUXE: you think the car will pass?

did you go through it before?

cheers,

Nah i havn't been there......but my bro in law took his Audi A4 there with no mods and bought NEW tyres and they didn't even chek them!, and another mate took his 180 there....well actually my sister took it there for him, and all went well. They are simply a rego swap place down there and are open on certain days not all week!

I would suggest buying a stock air box(not too expensive and easy to fit), can get Marky at ET over here to put in a baffle plate in exhaust to quieten it down, but then i guess the biggest issue/hassle would be removing the BOV and then putting back on after!

Personally i'd make those changes, just to be safe than sorry, but you might/prob get away with it, BUT i'm not gonna say for sure you'll be fine, because i'd hate to see it have to get a full inspection down at Regency because i gave you the impression you'll get thru no worries!

DELUXE: ;)

ID check is real easy... hardly check anything other than vin no, eng no etc.. costs $25. No roadworthy req if the vehicle is currently registered interstate.

that is really asuring!!!

thanks HOSTILE,

yeah,

car stil have rego till 23 june 2006!

Thank you all,

I will take a chance and send down as is, because my gf loves the BOV sound and exhaust!

but worse case, she can always bring it to a mechanic and change the muffler and remove BOV.

I worried because, my gf is glueless about car!

cheers,

:(

It might be a good idea to remove the BOV and have the exhaust quietened down first mate. At the ID check, if they notice something stand out defect-worthy they sometimes WILL defect you for it.

Which in then would generally mean a full regency inspection, which means A LOT of work as you put it all basically back to standard. The extra bit of work now might save you a lot more work later on.. :D

i bought my 32 from NSW where it was registered as roadworthy - and when I got to regency for the identity check - suprise! they wanted to go over the car, they failed me because of turbo timer, brakes (needed to be bigger from engine conversion), and my mags didn't have the correct markings. 5 months later i tracked down the brakes i needed and finally had it on the road!

best bet if you can get it registered in nsw even if you have to change your licence over to a friends house over there. then rego the car in your name bring it here, change your licence back to sa then. now all you would have to do is go to your local transport station with the nsw rego papers in youe name and they change it over no insp. or just take the parts off. i just moved here from nt, got my car changed over the other day, cause it still had rego in my name they just change it over there and then dont need to see the car at all (mine isnt even going atm....) no insp.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
