Hi, I've changed two cars over from different states and you don't need a check at all. As long as the car is being registered in the same name as in the previous state you just go into the office and show them id and your previous rego slip. Hand over the old plates and they'll give you new ones.

Cheers,

Matt

He is putting the car in his name though so at the very least you will have to go to sturt, just depends who you get on the day as to wether it will pass or not. If you havnt already purchased one we have them in stock for $99.

so hopefully u changed the name on the interstate rego to ur name, then there will be no hassles :D

my car ended in inspection cos it was registered in the interstate owners name, and the person that i got it from never put it in their name (previous SA owner)... i made sure that they cleared it all with regency b4 i bought it and only had to empty my wallet for the rego/stamp duty/interstate transfer fee/new plates.

You sell hicas lockbars? Want one for my car, stupid hicas light flashs on when i turn a bend at speed then goes off once i straighten up, gets annoying.

Sorry bit off topic but one quick question, does the hicas have anything to do with the power steering? Hicas light comes on and i lose power steering, Fill up the power steering well and the light goes off and i get power steering back..?

Hicas provides active feedback to the steering wheel... think Force Feedback on an arcade game...you know there are no kinetic forces but the actuators are giving you more of a feel... faster u go, the stiffer the steering gets, which is ideal... one of the worst things about power steering is the overresponsiveness (is that a word?) at high speed... hicas mitigates this to a degree thru the steering wheel (or Boss kit if u get an aftermarket system).... theres another forum thread which goes thru the ins and outs of hicas... basically it helps when you're an inexperienced race driver or an everyday driver... if you do any serious track work, chances are your skills will be higher than required for hicas, however that said, hicas can cause a very steep, very quick corner exit if you have the skills for it, as even a small amount of rear wheel toe in has a significant effect on cornering (Apparently, Dont look at me for details, im a noob)...

No doubt it un-nerves anyone whos not used to it, but once u get used to it you'll wonder how you lived without it... as mentioned before, nissan have kept hicas since the r31, so I really doubt theres any convincing reason to get a lock bar, aside from finances, or superultramegahardcore racing

I have hicas problems at the moment myself. im hoping when i get time to calibrate the system It'll come good, otherwise I'd rather spend the money to get the hicas fixed good and proper. Lock bars are for the hardcore, and i'm not hardcore.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
