they keep changing there minds with my car, ive had 3 phone calls in the last 2 days. Its never been registered in Australia so at first they said i needed an ID so i go from tuggers to dickson, dickson tell me i need a roadworthy so i head to mitchell, mitchell says i need an ID so back to dickson, dickson agrees with that this time so i book in for Thursday. Dickson calls and says only RWC needed, calls again and asks some questions and decides ID needed, calls again this morning and says RWC only. I just want my goddam car to be driving on the freaking roads damit!

Sounds alot like me, only i still had Vic rego on it.

Get an ID, then get a RWC - stop listening to them, it will only make your head hurt.

They don't even know the rules, if you can research them yourself, you'll be better off.

i thought dickson do RWC's :)

i found this to be a problem too, but not to that extent. its annoying when you hear a thousand different things of how to get your car road worthy and registered and your common sence tells you "ask dickson motor registry themselves, they should know, after all, its there job." so you do, and you then get another thousand different answers.

feeling like a ping-pong ball, going back and forth with different info each time, isnt fun :)

I am bit scared now Nugget lol. I was going to get it imported and regoed straight here but have now changed it to get complied and regoed in NSW then all I have to do is bring it over Dickson by way of state transfer on the rego but sounds like that is going to be such a hassle too :(

Would you mind please sending me a PM on the company that did your NSW work just so that you don't see a post up here in a month or so saying a story like yours?

i will look at the papers tonight and pm you, not sure off the top of my head that all

I called the mitchell RWC place again because he seemed to understand more then Dickson and he said just do what dickson says but if they screw it up blame it on them and they should fix it up on the spot.

Ive got the names of the 2 people from dickson who told me different answers so ill let them sort it out

Just because they are at fault doesn't mean you will be out of the woods.

Dickson is useless.

My Advice, move to queanbeyan - at least in NSW they are consistently useless.

bloody hell.... failed because my wheels were 12mm larger then spec and i didnt have a tare weight of vehicle.

Wheels are my fault, it slipped my mind that id need the stock wheels for first time rego... Basically ive got 2 choices, drive to melbourne or get the stock wheels deleivered to home (shitloads of money) or get an engineers report ($300).

Ohwell i had fun driving my car around, guess it goes back under cover for another week or 2 till i get everything sorted. Already used 2 of the 3 day registrations your allowed so this is gonna be fun.

**EDIT**

Does anyone have 4 stock r33 wheels with enough tread to pass rego, will pay to borrow them for an hour or 2

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
