I think the answer is Yes and No

The RWC wont be a problem when getting rego in Adelaide (after an identification check), but it may stop you getting the rego you need to drive it here.

Perhaps put it on a trailer, tow it back and register it here (Visit Sturt Police yard for the identification check, not Regency)

I'm in the same boat. Instead of starting a new thread I'll ask here.

I'm looking at buying a fresh import from Victoria. It has a RWC but no rego. I was thinking of letting the owner rego it in Vic so we can drive it back then transfer the rego to my name. So if any major issues arise, he will deal with them (like defects/requirements). Once its here I can go to Sturt for ID check then get it rego'd here?

Thats what I did when I bought the wifes car in Qld. Use Sturt rather than Regency and all should be fine.

^^^ Same here.

I got meself two cars, one from QLD and one from NSW. Took them both over Sturt's station with no problems!

:blink:

hi,

if you live more than 40km away from the city, you can take the car to your local police station, it will cost you $46 for the ID check(from what i remember). i bought a car 2 months ago and i am living up north. took my car in with coilovers, EBC and timer. they didnt give me any troubles. but guess i was lucky. i suggest you to hide all the aftermarket bits and make your car as stock as you can. shouldnt be a problem at all.

good luck

The car I am looking at only has Rays Gram Light wheels, Tein Coilovers and a Blitz exhaust, oh and a 7 inch, foldable DVD screen in the console. Everything else is stock.

Is there any requirements with the tyres? I heard somethign also about globes or bushes on some cars.

i had to still take my gtr thro a roadworthy check when i got it back from VIC, as i brought it in VIC and drove it back. if the car is currently rego'd, then there should be a current RWC(until u transfer the rego i believe, if it hasnt expired), so if you do get it talk to the owner and see if they are happy to leave it in their name until you get the car back here. which is what i did. i took mine to the goolwa bus depot, where they have a pit that regency uses.

    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
    • Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can. 
    • I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
