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.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
