hey guys, just received a letter stating that my plates are ready to be picked up, now the car is rego'd under dads name but i purchased the plates as a "gift" on the rta website, the letter i've received is addressed to me and im just confused as to whether i can walk into the rta with the letter, rego slip and old plates or if im going to need a letter from dad saying im all good to handle it, thought someone here might know/have come across this situation before, cheers guys! ;)

I did almost exactly the same thing about 4 years ago and needed a signed letter from my old man. I already had my custom plates on our family car, and when I bought a new car I swapped the plates between that car and the car I'd just bought. It was easier for both of us so he just came into the RTA with me when I did the exchange.

Best bet is to check with the RTA themselves, at least that way you'll get (or *should* get, depending on who you speak to and how much they know - this is always a problem with them) the right information just in case the rules have changed...

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      Custom titanium intake

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
