Had pretty much the same problem with my daily, I had to apply for new registration via a form TransportSA gave me, then I had to get the car ID inspected at Regency even though it had SA plates and everything...

I should note that when I did this I didnt have to show them proof of purchase or anything, I had absolutely no paperwork worth anything there...

edit: I also registered a car from Victoria with no paperwork too, although I did a have a reciept for the car

Why would you hand over cash for a car with no rego papers/proof of ownership? How can you guarantee it was not stolen interstate and will come up as so when they check the VIN? Has it got a green compliance plate to prove it has even been complied?

Sounds very dodgy to me.

if the car has been prev. reg is SA, you can wait for the rego to expire, then apply to register a vehicle.

obviously when you fill the form out you will put your name on...

i did this with one of my first cars, long story short, ex family friend refused to sign it over

after i paid it off after he had a blue with my old man,

the car ran out of rego a week later, the day after it ran out, i applied for rego all over again, in my name.

easy done, its MR1 form i think

ill explain it a little better.

car is from NSW rego runs out in 2-3 months

asked previous owner who purchased car from nsw without putting in his name for the papers, and he said he couldnt find them.

and he doesnt have the previous owners details anymore (not saying he is lying or anything like that, just how it is)

so basically i have a R33 in someones name who i dont know. and wondering if possible to put into my name without any papers. eg transfer papers receipt or rego papers)

never got them, and now there missing
If you never got them how are they missing?

It's called a conundrum, lol.

Seriously, why do people hand over money without receiving papers or running VIN checks first.

As Chad has already stated, you'll find the correct answer to your question by ringing Transport SA.

Goodluck with it cause it sounds like you'll need it.

well another option is to wait it out until the previous owner receives the re-registration forms, then you can go to him and sign the forms, or whatever. I believe there is a form that is basically the same that you can pick up from TransportSA/ServiceSA. Just hope he doesnt report you to the police for theft, and he gets the cash and the car. Would be an easy scam tho, if you paid him cash, there is absolutely no evidence that you purchased the car.

Do you have the seller's details at all to fall on in case things go belly up?

I agree with everyone else, sounds very very dodgy and you should have been smarter than that.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
