well I have recently purchased a V35 from melb. The procedure was... purchase the car, bring it back to adelaide, go to regency ID inspection centre (no need to book) and then fill out a simple form and wait to be assessed. This examination is not as strict as defect, but try to keep your car stock as possible. My v35 was stock, but they failed me for having tints. However I was able to pull out my tint in the car park and was passed shortly.

Once your car has passed, the inspector will allocate you with a form. This form is then taken to the actual regency department and you can purchase your rego.

For insurance, you may want to seek for a quote prior to purchase. I am with Justcars.

Assuming the vehicle is registered interstate then you just need an ID check at either regency (as above) or lonsdale.

Fairly straight forward if the vehicle is pretty stock.

How much you paying for the one from NSW?

There is 34 GTR's local for sale :). I happen to have one with plenty of tasteful mods.

Also your not buying from an importer in NSW are you? And if u r i hope his name is not Eddie or any first name followed by Tran as a surname.

I brought my 1993 R33 gtst over from Sydney about 4 years ago

The ID check at regency is pretty painless they just had a quick look at the car, barely looked at the engine took under 30 minutes. But I did remove the aftermarket BOV and air filter before I took it there. The car had also been lowered and had illegally dark window tinting.

The guy tested the tinting and said it was too dark but he only recommended I remove it, I didn't remove it and still have it now 4 years later with no problems, they didnt mention anything about the height of the car. My mates said I was ok because the car is white and I was wearing a suit :happy:

Once the ID check is completed you go to the motor registration office where you get new licence plates and pay for your new registration plus stamp duty plus a fee for re registering the car. Because your car was most likely expensive you should check the stamp duty rate here:

It cost me at least $500 to register and transfer my car.

I calculated the stamp duty for a $40,000 GTR it is $1,540 plus the transfer and registration fees so I wouldn't go there with under $2,000.

As for insurance I use just cars. They are one of the few people that will insure an import without requiring a lock up garage, just MAKE SURE YOU GET AN IMMOBILISER AND ALARM!!!!

I haven't claimed though just cars so I can't say what that is like.

Hope this was of some help

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
