webng Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hi there, I'm looking at getting my Stagea re-registered to SA. Apparently all I need is a vehicle ID check as it is currently registered in VIC. I've heard/read people saying all I need to do is go to the Sturt Rd cop shop, where exactly is it? What's the procedure, do I turn up when they open in the morning or do I have to book in a time? Thanks for any info! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175867-vehicle-id-check/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I believe unless you live 40km out of the CBD only then is it a cop shop VIS. Otherwise.. Regency inspection. If its dead stock and in good nick you have nothing to worry about so transfer rego; if its modified and noticably so leave it regd interstate for as long as possible.

Absolutely stock apart from 17's. Will that be a problem? It's in very good condition otherwise. Are they very strict with the 40km ruling? I'd rather go there then Regency and get pinged for my 17's.

webng Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 And another thing i'd forgotten to mention, the compliance plate is on the front passenger side door pillar. Is that normal?

webng Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Anyone know if the 17's will be a problem for an ID check? Or is it luck-of-the-draw stuff. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175867-vehicle-id-check/#findComment-3221322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangles Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 you'll be fine with the wheels. more so an ID check, of engine, body etc yes you can go there, I did. it is along side the sturt cop shop, looks like a council storage lot, about 80m to the west (towards Marion shoppin cntr) of the cop shop, a cple of Big shed. open tues and thurs only, 9am to 3pm. when I went I took off my pod filter and boost controller, everything else was stock as a rock and fine. they tried to get me with the windows but I took evidence (20 photos of rego'd stageas) that they conform to the national ADR's. you'll be fine, about a 20min vehicle check. tell em the wheels are standard with the nissan Dayz stagea. as they are.

Hotwire Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 17's will be fine as long as the track isn't increased by greater than 25mm (i think its 25mm). So as long as your wheels aren't that wide that they stick out of the guards (or close to) then you shouldn't have a worry.

HOSTILE Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Its in the council depot next door to the sturt police complex. Just drive in and join the queue/fill out forms. cost $25 payable at marion rego after inspection. They will just check engine no, compliance plate and rego plates. 17's should be ok, but they may pull you up for any blatantly obvious defects tho. generally its pretty cruisy, but they only open a couple of days per week usually 10-3ish. ^^ok what they said!!

Magdalicious Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Went through the regency numbers check last week. The vin plate that has always been sufficient is no longer. The VIN must be stamped into the body. You can do this yourself with letter and numbers stamps/punches and a hammer or alternatively Regency park motorsport is directly accross from the inspection station and charges $50.00 to do it for you on the spot. It is a new rule that has come in within the last month. Mine was done on the shock tower of my 34 within 2 minutes and they passed it on the spot.

Cubes Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 It makes me wonder if people are getting lazy when they compliance these cars. Mine was imported back in 98 and had the VIN stamped on the shock tower during compliance.

webng Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks for all the replies guys. Yeah mine has the VIN stamped on the shock tower. Only chance I have to do it is Friday so it looks like I'll be going to Regency Fri morning. Brendan, good idea with the Dayz edition 17's by the way! That's what I'll say if they pick on it. What can I show to proof to them the glass is UV cut and not tint therefore conform with ADR's?

Hotwire Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well if you cant peel it off, its not tinted Even a dumb ass inspector will figure that one out (you hope) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175867-vehicle-id-check/#findComment-3221948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

webng Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Too easy, all done and registered. Inspector guy went straight to the windows to check if they were tinting or cut glass.
