Do you need a RWC, or are you looking to clear a defect?

Assuming you're just after a RWC, to be honest you shouldn't have a huge issue with your car. Wind up your suspension if it's below the 100mm requirement, make sure your lights all work, pod is secured (that's sometimes enough) or in a sealed box, tyres are legal, steering wheel isn't stuffed, your gear knob has a H pattern on it, brakes work properly, it's not insanely loud etc and it should pass easily. The only issue you might have is with noise as the HKS Super Dragger isn't exactly silent. An exhaust shop should be able to put in a resonator or something for fairly cheap if you're worried about it, speak to Rob Bliss if you're northside, he's very reputable and knows his stuff.

Don't feel silly btw, you'll find most people on here are pretty understanding :dry:

thanks for your help guys!

no it hasnt been defected, basically i bought it last wk under the impression it had a rwc already.

Sill me didnt actually read it properly and it has expired so i now have to get anotherone to change it into my name......

i was also told it had 6 months rego on it and again i didnt actually read it and it is about to run out

if i had known both of these things daniel would have been able to get them sorted for me before he left but now hes away for 6 months so Im left too feel like a silly little girl and try organise it myself

Oh and to make matters worse im not from Brissy so i dont know where to start which is why this is just getting me really worked up....

Awwwwww dont feel silly!

I would also try and contact the original place that did the RWC. It might make things a little easier for you.

I bought mine from a dealer and they took care of putting it my name etc, but a friend had to do all this for her last car also so I know how annoying it is finding out the certificate has expired.

Hope it all goes smoothly!

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
