Im looking to buy a S2 33 in about 3 weeks and there are not many around in SA but quite a few in Sydney etc. I was just wondering whether someone can tell me whats involved in bringing one over in regards to taking it through Regency and what they look for and whether its worth the hassle. Also any help on some good places to get one locally would be appreciated there are not many in the trader or carslaes. thanks.

Its not hard to bring a stock example over, just a bit of cash, transfer or regos yada yada yada....

Modified, well some people have had good and bad results.... i got my 34 from Melbourne, didnt go through Regency, just the local cop shop for an engine check and bobs your uncle.....

As for local.... how much do you want to spend on one? do you want stock or basic mods (exhaust FMIC etc)

Good luck!

which cop shop did you goto?

does it need to be a specific one?

might go ask some questions cos im looking at buying from interstate if i cant find what i want here, and that would make it a whole lot easier.

I just called the Dept of Rego, told em i purchased a car from interstate, they directed me to download a form, go to the cop shop.... Elizabeth in this case, and get em to stamp the form after they have sighted and written the engine and vin number and take the form and your details and for me $1500 in cash to the rego office and BAM rego transferred to SA!

This was about 2 yrs ago tho!

That was for my R34, It was regoed in Vic... so $1500 got me transfer fees, stamp duty, 12 months rego in SA

Dont think it would have gone up that much, it all depends how much the car costs?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
