Hi, when i brought my car back from victoria i just took it to Sturt cop cause im sure they would be less picky there :P and with my turbo timer i just covered it with a big sticker and got away with that :D

haha! seriously?

Do you have to live a certain distance from the city to go to the Sturt cop shop? Or can anyone do that? I've heard they're much easier then Regency.

anyone can go to sturt

they will check the

- engine no

- vin no

- build dates

- window tint

I have seen many GTR's, GTST's, Stageas, Supra's ect go through as it is an IDENTITY check not a defect or road worthy check. They are only checking that the car or engine is not stolen

** MAYBE CUBES OR ANOTHER MODERATOR COULD MAKE A STICKY ABOUT THIS TOPIC AS THERE ARE NEW THREADS ARE BEING CONTINUALLY STARTED ON THIS TOPIC**

just took a r32 gtr through for an ID check and got pinned for having no complience plate!! "the green one". Apparantly SA is the only state that needs them, Iam not sure if this only applys to cars brought in under the 15 yo rule though? Either way I now have to have a Victorian registered car taken through regency for full complience/roadworthy testing I also have to get the side intrusion bars "re-engineered"!!!!!!!!!! needless to say Iam fair pissed off.....

I thought all import cars MUST have compliance plates? So if i buy a car from interstate i must make sure it has that?

u just need an engine number check to make sure its not a stolen engine, then swap regos to sa. Regency will do it, and its separate from the defect station. No need to hide mods. Sturt also do it.

So as long as it's registered in another state that's all i have to do with getting it re-registered in SA? So i don't have to worry about the turbo timer? It's the only mod to the car.

Do i lose whatever is left of the registration from interstate?

Ring regency and ask them.

Well, just rang Regency. As long as the car I'm buying has been fitted with an Australian Compliance plate (which it does), all i have to do once in Adelaide is to bring it in for an identity check. Won't even need to remove the turbo timer as it's a identity check to make sure it isn't a stolen vehicle etc, and not a RWC check. Cool.

So it doesn't matter whether i take it to regency or sturt rd. What days is the sturt rd one open? Tues Thurs or Weds Thurs?

They will almost certainly glance inside the car, and if they spot the turbo timer they can/will sting you for a full Regency check, which you definitely don't want (then every speck of rust is picked on, dented chassis rails, leaking/worn bushes/tie rods etc). Be careful.

I'll keep that in mind.

What if the car hasn't been registered yet interstate? Full Australian compliance but no registration. I wonder if it'll be treated the same as one that's already registered. I can borrow trade plates from a mate here to drive it back.

If it has been complianced but not rego'd, it would be the same as a shop here doing the compliance, and you will require a full regency inspection.

Wrong, just spoke to Regency, as long as it has it's compliance plates, doesn't matter if it's from interstate, all it needs is an identity check.

edit: But apparently a lot of the time they pull you up for a full compliance inspection anyways?

I think he's suggesting if it's been complianced but NEVER registered before it will need the full check.

Not according to the guy from Regency i spoke to. Apparently as long as the car is complied, all it needs is an identity check to register in s.a. Doesn't matter if it's been registered or not. But it looks like more often then not they can/will pull you in for a full check if they can/aren't too busy/your car looks dodgy.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
