Hi all! I have just change my NSW driving licence to ACT licence. The trouble with it is that I have to change my NSW rego to ACT rego. According to the "Shop Front" - ACT RTA, I have to get my car inspected by Authorised Inspected Station. I was given a list where to get it inspected. The question to ask is how tough is the vehicle inspection as I do have a front mount Intercooler and some other mods. Will that post any problem? Any comments!!

If you have a front mount and other assorted modifications then you will have to take it to Dickson rego station for an inspection.

All other shops that do checks wont touch it because theres a government regulation that states that all modified vehicles must be taken to Dickson, especially imports.

The guys out at Dickson are thourough but not unfair, they will most likely accept most mods as "safe" as long as they arent really bodgy installs...

Also if you have an aftermarket blowoff valve you will need to remove it and put the stock one back on because ANY atmospheric blowoff valve is classed as venting raw emissions and therefore illegal.

If you have a boost controller - either hide it or take it off because they dont like them unless theyre engineered and if you have a programable ECU dont tell them because most also have to be engineered.

Another good idea would be to fit a "rego" rear muffler to bring the noise down under 90 DB as this is the limit for a turbo 6 cylinder engine.

Good luck :w00t:

I went through the NSW/ACT rego change recently-I had to get an ID check as well as the full inspection-although I was told I could get a inspection done other than Dickson once people saw the car said I should go through Dickson-its not modified too much but 4 goes before I passed. Main things were:

ride height-too low

exhaust too low

exhaust too loud

battery needed to be changed to "sealed battery" in boot

18 " wheels not factory -borrowed Jayce's 17's

No child restaints

No parsel shelf

No "under bonnet issues" came up-they probably wouldnt know whether a front mount is factory or not. Good luck!

Rumble. Another question. Do we really need to change from NSW rego to ACT rego? Not sure how that works! If I have to go through that much trouble, I would better keep my NSW licence and keep my NSW rego. That really S#@Ks.

Yep if you dont need to I'd keep it NSW

Alright guys! I have booked my car in for an inspestion on Monday with Dickson Motor Registry. FMIC, after market steering wheel (320mm) don't think that will pass, huge but not too nosiy Nismo muffler and everything else stock standard. Wish me luck.

As long as your not to low/loud you'll be right mate.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
