Hi all,

I need to get a roadworthy for my GTR32. Need one where they aren't picky on things cuz it's quite modified, but it has modification plates. It's just the stuff like it has no ABS, no aircon, etc etc. Basically I need a RWC no matter wot before this saturday!!! Inputs please!

Cheers~

i got my car done at boike autmotive at kuraby, they didn't seem to worry too much about mods but they did look at the safety items, like steering, braking, drive train lights etc. no so worried about exhaust, suspension i.e. coilovers.

If he doesn't need the RWC, but would prefer one, and your going to get a dodgey one.. what is the point in getting one at all LOL

It's not that hard to get one though, just find a dodgey looking place and tell them you want to transfer the car from your dads name to yours asap, works a treat ;)

ACE auto in Murarrie did mine.

Although my car was fairly stock, they did not have anything to say about the following.

18" non standard wheels

Sports steering wheel

HKS blow off valve

Lowered

Eyelids over headlights

Cat back exhaust

They also looked after the car quite well, no grease or shit on the steering wheel or dirt in the carwhich is what you usually get after any mechanic has been in it.

There really are no "relaxed" places anymore, believe me I looked as I was really worried about the above.

They have all been shut down or will only do it for really really close mates.

Thanx guys, didn't need one in the end~ car's sold~

Even so, to clear up something for everyone.

Roadworthy does not depend on modifications done. There are certain guidlines that they must follow. Other than that, as long as the car is essentially safe, it should pass.

If you have a blue plate for your mods, then they should not even need to be checked in a roadworthy

Silly things pass like:

You can have absolutely no baffling left in your rear muffler but if it doesn't exceed noise limits and there are no holes then it passes.

No spare needs to be present.

Only driver's side window has to work

Oil leaks are ok as long as (after cleaned) they do not form one drip within 10 minutes.

Surface rust is ok but can't poke anything through it.

As you can see it's not like you have to have a new car to pass.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
