Re: Moving to SA
Hey guys after a bit of advice moving to SA from NSW.
I have bushido's noisy NSW rego'ed car, and need to change to SA rego soon.
Bit worried I'll have to go to Regency Park and they'll take a good look at the mods and defect it.
Any advice?

Just a numbers check you wont have to go over pits. They only pick up obvious issues so if unsure bout zorst put baffle plate in just in case.

Re: Moving to SA
Yea basically ask for a MR29. That's the police check, but a lot of cops won't do it anymore, they check the VIN and engine number to ensure they match up, then you lodge your MR29 and register it that wayvipfto wrote:Just a numbers check you wont have to go over pits.

Re: Moving to SA
I didn't have to get any checks done, but the NSW regos were already in my name.
I didn't have to pay stamp duty either, just had to go change it rego to SA, pay for SA plates and pay for 3 months rego.

Re: Moving to SA
See I don't know how you got around that. I had to have a MR29 inspection done on mine, even though it was registered in my name when it first got registered in NSW. So same situation as you had with bringing your NSW registered cars here, except I HAD to have either a Regency inspection or MR29 performed to have the paperwork processedPHIL069 wrote:I didn't have to get any checks done, but the NSW regos were already in my name.

Re: Moving to SA
I got around nothing, it's the rules, it's the way it's done, go have a look at SA service site (I have posted up the info already somewhere but I can't find it and CBF looking it up againkiz wrote:See I don't know how you got around that.

You need current NSW rego papers in your name and that is all, SA knows that the numbers would have been checked by NSW to get the NSW rego papers.

Re: Moving to SA
Services SA are a bunch of wankers, so I don't pay attention to anything they say. I avoid them at all cost and only go there when I actually can't do it online myself. It wouldn't surprise me if I got told the wrong thing... Good thing MR29s only cost $40
