Just looked that link to the SA rego rules and :

Unless you hold a current interstate registration certificate in exactly the same name as the intended South Australian registration

To me this has me covered - Cause I own the car and have current rego in my name - as long as I keep it in my name - which I will, then no inspection required.

The inspection is only required (by my reading) for people who purchase a car from another state, from someone else - This would be to maintain the car's identity.

Welcome (soon) to our humble little town.

Technically all you need is an ID inspection, BUT if they suspect the car is modified they can send it for a full inspection. I dont think re-shelling is required (as mentioned), BUT you will want to have the car stock looking.

Im not 100% sure, but I believe if you owned and registered the car (in your own name) interstate and move here there is no need for an inspection, just visit a motor reg office and pay for SA plates and Rego sticker.

check out http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/registratio...icles/index.asp and give an office a call to confirm the prices (may be cheaper to stay with NSW rego, but RWC will be a problem unless you go back for a holiday).

I've transferred two cars from interstate - one from VIC (n14 sss) when I moved here, and one from NSW (r34 gt-t). In both cases they were registered to me, with the same name/etc details on them.

In neither case did the people at Transport SA need to go out and look at the cars or do any sort of physical inspection - I did, of course, have all of the appropriate documentation, registration papers, etc with me, and the cars were both in my name, and everything matched up.

Anyways - hope that tidbit helps :)

Yes - sure am. Got to get it back from all the mechanical first. As you can see it's muti-coloured blue/silver.

The plan was that I was going to spray it myself with the help from a mate who knows what he is doing.

But if I come to Adelaide, the girlies cuz is a spray painter - COOL !

;) GB on resprays :)

yeah thats the way i read it and no Jenna confirmed it :P

great looking beast i dare say you may be able to talk your way around it being stock too just hide that wastegate tell them its the temp. sender ;) and no visible blow off valves

Hi B-Man, quick bit of info' you.

My work posted me from NSW to SA back in 2001, at the time my NSW rego papers listed me as the owner and all details were to stay the same - other than a new SA rego' number.

Regardless of the above I was still required to present the car to the Sturt inspection station - I elected Sturt as it seemed the logical choice for a Vehicle Identity Inspection. The Sturt inspector/s still double checked the VIN details and engine number to verify all was in order.

Even though the sole purpose of the inspection was to verify the car's identy, the inspector still cast an eye over a few of the basics - pod filter was okay, intercooler was fine - but there were numerous things he didn't check. In the end the only issue was my 'illegal' genuine Momo Race steering wheel. The wheel was purchased new from Revolution Racegear and was indeed legal according to the details stamped on the back of the wheel and ADRs. I didn't bother to complain, I just swapped the wheel over as request and an hour later I was good to go.

One point of note: I wore my work uniform - Air Force - to the inspection station and treated the inspector as I would expect to be treated in return.

As an expat NSWman I took a while to adjust to the slower big country town feel of Adelaide and SA in general, but now I really like it here.

The lack of regular drag strip is the biggest downside from a motorsport perspective, hopefully this will be rectified in the coming months/year. Plenty of decent workshops, performance parts vendors and automotive events/shows etc.

As for choice of locations to relocate to, it's best to take a visit and see for yourself, that's what I did.

Cheers,

Matt

Bman... here's my notes for you :P

kebabs = yiros, devon = fritz, telegraph poles = stobie poles, corner shop/milk bar = deli

you will come to love farmers union ice coffee and balfours pies

don't live in Elizabeth or Salisbury, it's the equivalent of Mt Druitt

the tap water is TERRIBLE

if someone mentions 'the bay' they mean Glenelg, and the 'malls balls' is the meeting spot in rundle mall (sculpture with 2 balls)

oh and the drive over from Canberra sucks arse

Lol shell Salisbury isnt that bad!! I used to live there on the good side that is :P

B-Man You will find Adelaide very quiet coming from Sydney,but will get used to it..The people are very friendly and nice and welcoming! the hills roads are awesome!!

Balfours custard tarts are the best and I cant find them here in Sydney ;)

There are NUMEROUS threads on both the upper and lower class suburbs of Adelaide, so unless you live here, please don't comment. i live in Salisbury north, one of the "scum suburbs" of Adelaide, never had any problems, had a front window broken twice on our house and egged a couple of times, but thats because of a cock from high school who hates me for no reason and gets bored at night. Security cameras FTW

don't live in Elizabeth or Salisbury

them's fighting words buddy! The hood aint that bad lol, just certain areas of salisbury are a bit shagged out lol.

the tap water is TERRIBLE

this is true :P

Damo and I represent!

yeah and it doesn't have that funny taste that bottled water has sometimes.

you just don't know if the bottles were sitting on the back of a truck in full sun for a few hours............I'd rather drink algae from my fish tank than bottled water.

the more we are silly enough to buy that stuff, the dearer it'll get.

hehe yeah I know :laugh: Suburbs get stuck with certain reputations sometimes...my suburb in Canberra is a bit the same, ppl pay it out all the time haha

I went to someone's house for dinner in Elizabeth and it was awesome, big games room and pool table and stuff, so I know it ain't all bad :(

*innocent look*

sorry cronic, bottled water FTL.........4 or 5 times the price of petrol!! :(

Get yourself a Pura-tap filter :P

can you say no Flouride ftl = bad teeth in x amount of years for bottle drinkers

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
