I am looking at buying an R33 GTS-T from interstate.

What do i need to do if i want to register it here in SA? Does it matter if it comes with RWC or not?

Description-

130,000kms, 1994 model, genuine car, Rare Factory Black, 5sp manual with Electric Sunroof, Grade 3.5 Auction with NO accident histrory. Straight vehicle with good modifications, incl coilover supension, Blitz Adjustable Boost Controller, updated rear spoiler, Apexi N1 exhaust, Apexi Super AFC and Air intake, factory sunroof, runs very well, incl full compliance and RWC.

Thanks

RWC doesnt apply in South Australia..As far as Im aware of. Also as far as buying it interstate. When you bring the car into SA all you need to do is get the VIN number checked at regency or if your more than 50kms from there, a local cop shop and then you simply change over rego...Just try make sure the acar isnt moddded to much when going through regency or you will probably end up with a defect as well.

Good luck..

Beki :unsure:

Be sure your living 40km's out of the CBD so you can take it to the local cop shop for its identity check.

Otherwise its a regency job where they give it a brief looking over. :unsure:

So I was told when recently enquiring about the purchase of an interstate vehicle.

OR, you can get the owner to write a statement saying you have been living with them interstate for 3+ months, take it to a rego department over there, register the car in your name and then drive it back here. Then, all you need to do is fill in a form to transfer rego, no checks, nothing, simple :unsure:

Hi

I just recently bought a skyline from interstate exact same type as yours actually (black with sunroof) and you shouldnt have any probs getting it registered here, just make sure when your getting your vehicle id inspection done your car is pretty stockish looking cause i took mine to Sturt Cop shop and they had a full hard look over it. Other than that just make sure if you have tinting on car that its legal cause there really picky about that.

Hey,

Ive brought two R33's from interstate. Both through regency. No matter what they will do a VIN check ( was registered in my name in NSW ). First one was stock, just had an exhaust. Had no worries. Second one I bought in had tinted windows, exhaust, 18s stock air box. They wouldnt register it until i removed the window tinting. They are really big on window tinting and test every car, you won't get through with it on. Its not the same workshop that you would goto if you got defected. I found some of the employees there particularly unfriendly. Guess they have a shit job really. Its also rumoured that they check the passenger kick panel for aftermarket ECUs. If you can, make the car as standard and clean as possible when you go though, you will be fine.

Cheers

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
