hey guys

looking at a car in qld... its stock so no mods... complianced and rego over there...

want to buy it and bring it back here... however so many myths go on about transferring it into SA rego and into my name... trips to regency blah blah

can anyone give a straight deffinate answer?

I did this 18 months ago. (Qld to SA)

Just take it down to Sturt St? Inspection station for a Vin check, then drop the papers and Qld plates off at your local motor reg office and collect your new plates and a rego sticker.

Sturt St Inspection station are much better than regency, just make sure obvious defects are removed (tyres etc) but if its stock you shouldnt have too many problems there.

It depends where you live. I tried to do the sturt st inspection as everyone said it was easier to get through there, but they told me due to where i live it had to go to regency park. This is no biggy tho! it doesnt go to the "pits" for a simple state rego change. They have a new warehouse building you just roll your car through, they do engine number and VIN checks to make sure nothings stolen and everything checks out. Obviously you cant roll through there with a big highmount, but if the car is stock you will have no problems whatsoever.

I took my perth registered GTR through there with Z32 AFM's, HKS turbo's, and Power FC. All i did was bolt a stock exhaust on and it was stock height. They checked the numbers, had a quick look at the tyres and that was it. All they looked at inside was the odometer. None of this kickpanel off business you get through the pits.

You'll have no problems at all, the whole process took maybe an hour, most of which was waiting for my turn, then you take the papers they give you to the office next to the pits and get your new plates. The car inspection took all of 5 minutes, then another 5mins as he went to run the numbers.

the other way to do it, is if you can get it regoed in your name in qld (use a relatives address etc) then all you have to do is take your qld rego papers with your name in to transport office anywhere and they transfer it straight over, thats how i got my car done when i moved here, because it was already regoed in my name and still had current rego they just transfer it across didnt even need to see the car. But since yours has no mods then i wouldnt worry bout it...

Just did it yesterday myself. All you do is go into the transport office, fill in the paper work and bam, that's it. That is providing the car is in your name so you don't have to go over the pits or anything >_<

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
