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.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
