Hey guys, i was wondering if any1 could help me out and give me some advice. I've recently taken time off work to travel to Melbourne for a month. I'm originally from Sydney and took my parent's 2003 Commo with me to Melbourne. Ok, rego arrived last week and my parents phoned me up saying the car requires an inspection(pinkslip) to renew the rego. Problem is, i won't be bak for another month and the rego expires in 2weeks.

Do i get a pinkslip in Melbourne ? or do i need to drive bak and get the inspection done ?(i seriously cannot drive bak as this would overlap my planned schedules).

i had a look on the RTA website and it says a vehicle is exempt from inspection if the vehicle is "WITHIN" 3yrs of the compliance date and month. if this is correct, shouldn't my inspection be next yr as i'm still "within" the 3yrs period ? 2003-2006 = 3yrs

help, please !

no you aren't still exempt from an inspection. the 3 years has ended. the compliance date will have already past, since it isn't done the day the car is registered. it is done when the car is made.

as for the pink slip, i'd give the rta a call tomorrow and ask them about it.

I think the first thing to be noted is that Victoria does not require annual inspections for rego renewal. So, as such, there is no 'pink slip' system in place.

Victoria does have a RWC (roadworthy certificate) system in place that is only relevant when selling a car. That might be possible to use in this case.

Failing that, you only have to go as far as Albury to obtain a 'pink slip'.

It would be better to consult the (NSW) RTA to find out what needs to be done in your case.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
