Hey guys,

Im looking at buying a car from interstate, either VIC, NSW or QLD at this stage, but I have a question some of you might be able to help me with.

If I buy a car that has interstate registration, and go to re-register it in South Australia, does it need to go through Regency, or does it just need to undergo a quick chassis/engine number check.

I have check at my local transport customer service centre, and they lady just gave me a form, told me to fill it out with the purchased vehicle's information, then take the vehicle to my local police station, where they will verify that the vin number etc is all ok and pay $44 and they will swap the rego over to SA. She said it was not a roadworthiness inspection. This would be good as the car will probably be a little bit modified and I dont want the hassle of going through Regency with my new pride and joy.

But I have also heard that EVERY single car being rego'ed in SA needs to undergo a regency inspection. I cant see how this would be the case as there must be loads of cars coming in, but if a regency inspection is required, then I'll probably can the idea of going interstate and driving it back.

If someone has been through the process and/or could shed some light on the matter, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Ben

If you get the car registered in your name in another state. you do not haver to get any checks done....as long as the car is in the name that wishes to be transfered and has current rego, you just need to go to any transport SA office. so if your worried bout mods etc that might be easier to do than changing the mods back.

I got mine from Vic..... all i had to do was go to the loacal police station get the vin and engine number checked and take the form to the rego office and there ya have it.....

This is straight from the transport sa website:

Interstate vehicle registration

You must register your vehicle in South Australia within three months if you move from another State or Territory of Australia and become a permanent resident.

Unless you hold a current interstate registration certificate in exactly the same name as the intended South Australian registration, the vehicle must undergo an identity inspection to confirm the correct identity of the vehicle. The vehicle can be inspected at the following inspection stations upon payment of the correct fee .

If you live within a 40 kilometre radius of the Adelaide GPO , the vehicle must be inspected by the:

Vehicle Identity Assessment Station and Safety Group

7 Naweena Road , Regency Park 5010

Open: 8 am – 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (except public holidays).

No appointment is necessary.

If you live more than 40 kilometres from the Adelaide GPO , you may have the vehicle inspected at

your local police station.

Please contact the police station to arrange an appointment.

or

Vehicle Identity Assessment Station and Safety Group

7 Naweena Road

Regency Park 5010

Open: 8 am – 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (except public holidays).

No appointment is necessary.

See vehicle inspections for more information.

Once the vehicle has been inspected, you need to present the inspection certificate or post to a Customer Service Centre along with:

your completed ‘ Application for Registration and Third Party Insurance' form

your inspection certificate

proof of identity if you have not previously been issued a licence or registered a vehicle in South Australia

the appropriate fees . Calculate applicable fees by visiting http://ecom.transport.sa.gov.au/.

The following fees may apply:

registration fee

third party insurance fee

stamp duty on insurance

stamp duty on value*

number plate fee

postage fee (if you request the number plates to be posted to you)

administration fee, level 3

Emergency Services Levy

inspection fee.

After you have registered the vehicle in South Australia , you can apply to the State where the vehicle was previously registered for a refund of registration fees.

Stamp duty*

If the vehicle was registered in your name in another State, you will need to produce the current certificate of registration from that State when you apply for registration to be exempted from paying stamp duty on the value of the vehicle.

I purchased one of our skylines in Qld and took it to Sturt Street Police Station for the Vin check.

got mine in gold coast and went through sturt with no problems.

i recalled that the vin check station only open two days per week.

Thanks for all the replies fellas, I'm about 60kms from the Adelaide GPO so should be right to take it to the Nuri cop shop if I decide to get one. Looking at a toyota chaser for a daily driver. Hopefully it all works out...

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.

Just a couple of obvious things to consider.

Is the Pod secured?

What happened to the std boost controler? (hoses dont look right)

Remove the Malpassi Srising rate Reg and replace it with a std one.

Whart have you got mounted om the right hand strut tower (in front of the master brake cylinder)? Alarm?

Where/what has happened to the BOV, is it still a return system?

These are just some of the things I can see (a larger pic would help) that might be of interest to the MVI unit.

Im not trying to give you a hard time, just point out the things that caught my eye (and I assume they see a lot of skylines)

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
