We have everything on ours modded, just incase. But the problem with this is, even if you DO have the plate, they can say to you 'how do we know you haven't changed it since then' and fine you anyway :sleep:

according to those modification links i provided you, any aftermarket steering wheel fitted to a car with an airbag is defectable and you'll receive a fine for it.

fitting an aftermarket steering wheel to a car with no airbag fitted from factory is allowed based on the size of the steering wheel in accordance to the modification rules/laws.

the hks bov you won't be able to get a mod plate for, and you can get booked for it unless you have it plumbed back.

when you get the seat you will need a mod plate. just ring either a cop shop, or qld transport and ask them where somewhere is that does mod plates in your area.

BOV is allowed however, he'll get fined for undue noise and that is it.

Maby so, but there was a court case 18 months ago about a guy fined for undue noise for having a BOV.

His defence was that trucks and buses with air brakes have air bleed valves which operate at much higher pressures and hence emmit more noise... The judge agreed with the Police that a BOV is distracting to others however he could not be fined for undue noise unless the officer wanted to fine all busses and trucks for the same thing...

So technically an officer could fine you for dangerous driving, as the dangerous driving act has a clause about distracting other drivers... But i dont think it would hold up in court, as most peoples thoughts on dangerous driving means that the driver was speeding excessivlly and driving like a idiot. So the dangerous driving tag would probablly get over thrown also...

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
