Just talked to someone at Dickson Motor Registry who confirmed all imports must go through Dickson Inspection Station. Talk to Technical Standards, they are the ones that make the rules and know whats enforceable and whats not. Unfortunately 90% of people at the shopfronts dont know the difference which is why it will get registered using a RWC from a normal mechanics.

As I said, its not uncommon for mechanics to issue RWC's and the car to be registered at a shopfront using said RWC, but that is simply because staff havent been educated properly on prcedures and processes. Whilst you could tell people it doesnt have to go over Dickson, and there is a fair chance it will slip through, at the end of the day giving out that information is wrong (especially if you piss away $38 at the mechanics to have the shopfront turn you away because it wasnt issued by the dickson inspection station).

You got through, congratulations, im certainly not going to say your rego isnt valid etc. But following the letter of the law and all rules and regulations as can be clearly read on www.rego.act.gov.au and various ACT legislation documents, all imported vehicles when transferring ownership must go via dickson pits.

Ok, well since you guys have skylines registered in ACT do you know what i could get defected on, ill say what i think i could and let me know if you had any probs with that part.

FMIC

Air intake pipe for Pod

Fuel pump...its pretty loud.

aftermarket steering wheel

Exhaust, might need silencer

And the Diff, its a cusco LSD so very noticible.

Thats all that is visible anyway, other than that i can raise the suspension so what do you guys think.

As long as the steering wheel is on good and proper you won't have a problem with that. They just jiggled it pretty rough for my test.

The rest I can't help you with as I had an engineers cert when I went over.

my advice is to just turn up and have the check done. if they make you fix things, then get them fixed and move on.

i stressed for days about one or two things on my car - in the end they had a huge list of things that needed doing. two of them were big safety issues, too. i wouldn't have predicted the list.

good luck and let us know how you get on.

That is actually a pretty good idea, what was the process when you had to change things and go back to them?

Will do mate

they showed me the list and then stepped through it with me to make sure everything was ok. they were able to fix everything or take my car to the place to get it fixed (i.e. they took care of everything). i am not sure if that's common practice.

i've sent you a pm with what i had to change/fix. :P

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By Duncan · Posted

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
