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!

I believe unless you live 40km out of the CBD only then is it a cop shop VIS.

Otherwise.. Regency inspection. :D

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. :dry:

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.

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. :rolleyes:

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.

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!!

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.

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?

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
