Just get your car roadworthied and make an appointment at your local VicRoads office.

Take the roadworthy in to the appointment. You may need to have someone at VicRoads look at you car (I didn't, but my mate did).

My car was previously registered in NSW, but my mates was not registered at all.

If that is all I needed for a car that was not even on Redbook or Glasses at the time, I am pretty damn sure that your '33 will be fine.

Fyi, my car went to VicRoads in Dandenong and my mates M35 was done at the Frankston office.

Got the appointment but I need to get it roadworthied by someone. I rang kmart tyre and auto and they don't do imports. I need to find someone around the kensington/flemington/north melbourne area that will give me a roadworthy certificate. My car is stock accept for a pod filter so I don't anticipate any real issues and I had it fully checked out by a mechaninc before I drove over.

Names and numbers would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Dan

Go to a smaller mechanic.

Most will do a roadworthy.

Forget larger chains, they have too many cars and not enough time to spend on something "different".

I had my RWC done in Pakenham... They ONLY deal with Falcodores... But also build large capacity drag cars.

They did not even know that the Stagea (any model) existed and only thought that a Skyline was either a R31 or "Godzilla".

EDIT: Forgot to mention, if your pod is uncovered, it won't get passed. Put the stock box back on for your RWC.... unless you find a mech that will overlook it (doubtful).

Cheers guys,

I found a guy on Macauly rd that does inspections (silver repair serivce) and he doesn't care about the fitted pod filter. He's like, if I make you change it in front of me, what's to make you change it back 5 minutes after I have given you the certificate. So it looks all good.

Regards

Dan

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
