I called TransportSA recently when I was defected. I was told they no longer issue these permits. I had the girl confirm it with her manager, he said as your car is technically still not roadworthy it can't be driven and that loop hole had be closed. Looks like they lied to me those pricks.

Haha dude, you get different stories from each staff member in Transport SA. I got a permit once for the GTR ages ago when it wasn't registered yet, and the girl behind the counter told me I was not allowed one due to having no registration. After arguing with her and then her manager, I was allowed the permit (I was transporting the car to and from a mechanic - the car had a compliance plate, so it's fine). But she said "you're not allowed to stop the car anywhere along any roads or turn off on any other roads unless specified here" and I said "What if I had to go to the toilet and had to turn off?" she said "No. You cannot turn off onto any other roads".

Yet a few weeks later, I got another permit and put down all these different stops and roads and never got questioned... he even gave it to me at a super cheap price (must have gotten it wrong somehow).

Transport SA have no idea. Just go there and cross your fingers that the muppet behind the desk actually knows how everything works. Just try waiting in line at Service SA in the city and you're bound to hear a handful of complaints from angry people saying "But on the phone, I got told..." and "I want to speak with your manager! No! I will write to my local minister about how shocking your customer service is!".

you're allowed more than one stop as long is it listed in your route and as long as the stops are related to the vehicle's repair or final destination.

Laws changed not long ago regarding permits for unregistered vehicles possibly due to constant CTP issues

      Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.

      Hence why I suggested some tests.

      Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
