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

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Nice modern Hypergear high flow would be perfect.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
