Transferring Rego To Sa Plates: Difficulties?

I purchased an R33 GTR from Vic and brought it back to SA a year or so ago.

See my thread for the story: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/In...-T-t267077.html

Remember it's an "ID inspection". Very different from say a defect inspection or import where everything needs to be stock. They basically just match the VIN, engine & reg details. An inspector looks over the car for about 5 minutes and he didn't even look in the cabin.

doesnt sound like any of the id checks ive ever had or any of my mated and we have brought a few cars from interstate both in our names and not and its the same thing everytime, we go to the id check station and even tho we have the vin stamped on the firewall and on plates aswell they still make us stamp it on the strut tower, also every time any of us have gone for an id check we get a full defect check hoist and all ive never been out of there in less than an hour.

it all comes down to how prepared you are if you take it back to stock, clean it up and go in there looking respectable your looked apon better and they are more likley to go easy on you. (also act like you dont know much about cars and try to ask them questions, it seems to make them feel good lol)

good luck

Why did you have to have the vin stamped on ? Did you have a sticker vin instead of a plate ?

vin was on a plate on the firewall and not stamped anywhere the place across the car park from them stamps them while you wait the inspector came and checked it and done.

hey

the sturt id check station has closed so its either regency or lonsdale.

I just took my R34 to Lonsdale to get id check all they did was check the engine/chassis number they didnt look over my car at all!but its such a hard situation coz id inspecters are different!My friend took his R33 gtr to regency for id check and had it up on the hoist and it got defected for oil leaks plus other stuff!the Lonsdale id inspection does have hoists so i would be careful its almost better to put car back to standard to risk not getting a defect goodluck

bringing the old man along is always a good idea if your young, its not that one station is better than the other its just if you get an inspector on a bad day but aslong as your car is clean and stock and your polite there should be no worries. good luck with the inspection

Cant see a thing Marc, no visible tread in the pic, and doesnt show offset of rim either.

I have this other image, but i was referencing more the tire stretch than the actual tread left (but the later is a good point).

They'll more likely pick on something too loud, too low, shiney obvious defects in engine bay, gauges all over the dash etc....

I went in ID inspection with coilovers no problems... but they came off anyway because I need to go through regency Vehicle Inspections for something else.

Hey mate, if your just transferring plates, all you need is a Vehicle identification check, they just check if the VIN matches up with engine number and all, and check for aftermarket electronics like powerfc hand controller or turbo timers so just make sure you dont have obvious mods.

when i brought my r34 from NSW over, passed inspection easy with no problems and i had minor mods so yeah just make sure you dont get sent to regency for a full inspection.

Thanks heaps for all your help guys - just came out of the ID Station about half hour ago, on a massive high!!! :P Got thru by the SKIN OF MY TEETH...

- Tint was WAY too dark

- Xenon headlights arent legal

- Zorst and front mount were still crankin

ONLY reason i didnt get stung in the ass is because the inspector i had used to be in the RAAF...I went down there in my uniform and he said the only reason he was letting me off was that im a defence member.. lucky :S

Goodluck to anyone else going thru there!

Do u need to make an appointment to do an ID check or just rock up ?

I have to go through this process in the next 2 weeks. From what I read and asked i just gotta hide my TT (turbo timer) and i should be good, expect Xenon's maybe a hit and miss.

Blazk: No need to make an appointment you just rock up and you don't pay until you rego the car. And if you dont get through on the first time it doesnt cost money to try again. Just bring your drivers license.

I just took my stock V35 through.. i got done for the wheels being 15mm too big.. so had to go and grab new tyres.. I then also got done for 3rd brake light not working and i rebuilt it.

And i got through.. had the stock Xenon's.

The guys down at regency ID inspections are useless.

Took the V35 down there after picking it up from the yard, failed it because child restraints weren't in the centre of the seat.

Looked up the ADR's on this and they are allowed to be 20degrees off centre.

Sigh, looks like I'll be taking another day off work and printing out the ADR's for them, hopefully they are literate

He stated that my xenon headlights are illegal - defect to be rectified

My door windows were too dark - TINTING was too dark, he didnt know about privacy glass

Exhaust system and front mount intercooler were still in place on the car

legible?

tint too dark, was it actual tint or did he mean the privacy glass?

xenons or r34's are illegal.

zorst and front mount were crankin?

How much does it cost to make Xenons legal ?

      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

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
