That was my question, "do I have to physically hand it in?" :P.

Sorry I had a better read of the letter; yeah says I can fax or mail it in as well. Have to call for a receipt of the fax after you send apparently... man I haven't sent a fax in forever, don't even remember how xD.

I know this question must have been asked a million times before, but does anyone know of a mechanic in the eastern suburbs that can write a road worthy without picking on stupid stuff like kmart tyre & auto do? I'm selling my car and I need a RWC, not a dodgey one because the car is pretty much standard and in great condition.

so whats the go on EPA noise inspection, will a clamped on muffler pass if its under the DB limit or will it fail due to not being welded on, much like the bolt on silencers?

such as...

EXHAUST-COUPLERS-SINGLE_COUPLER_ALUMINIZED.jpg

From my experience they dont care, infact when i did mine he just made up a section after the rear flange in 2.5" to make it legal and tld me he would put my old one in the boot so i can put it back on after i have cleared the defect.

That joiner is pretty much no different to a flanged connector.

well if that's so it should make swapping the exhuast for epa a lil easier , you mean when you cleared the EPA?

plan on making up a 3 to 2" adapter to aresstor to muffler when i get round to it, then just remove a mount and clamp the pipe on for epa duties

i've passed a rwc with a 3", i'm just talking about the anal epa here

Yea im with Dolan, want to sell my car, surley there are the few places that are more lenient than others? I dont even know what the rules are here

Are pod filters illegal? also factory return front mounts and HID's?

The last owner got the RWC piss easy but that was before the big law change this year. At $200 a pop its not somthing I wana keep trying until it passes it could become quite expensive :wacko:

So make the car legal before going for a RWC?

The rules are pretty clear and easy to follow - this thread covers it all.

So if you go in with a car that's above board, there is no reason to then have issues. Given what you have listed is not legal, if you do have issues then that's kinda your own issue if you chose to roll the dice. I know it sounds harsh, but that's just how it is.

thats sweet, I was thinking HID's were illegal, easy change over. But some how ive been thinking that pods were illegal as were fmic, I think some mechanics have mentioned that in the past, somthing about only allowed one intake modification. It sounds pretty stupid to me. I will do my best to make sure its all ligit when the time comes.

Stupid or not - that's the law.

You could work that out by reading the first 3 posts of this thread :thumbsup:

    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
    • The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk
