Need Help ! :)

Hey guys im new to this site.

i bought my R32 gts- t not long ago and im stressing about getting a road worthy for it. 

would they screw me for the holes i drilled to fit the piping for the cooler?

drift handbrake?

pod filter?

blow off vavle?

Because they say you aloud to have one air intake. Would the cooler be ok with the holes?

Post up some pics so we can see what you've done,

Blow off valve to atmosphere is illegal in qld, so is a un sheilded pod filter. (should be in a box etc)

not sure about handbrake

and what holes for the cooler? did you cut through the front panel to put the pipes through. If so then yes this is illegal

Depends on how strict your mechanic is... If they pass everything and give you the RWC, VIC Roads can't knock you back unless their mechanics come out to check it... But I'd doubt they come out.

If I were you, I put the stock air box and BOV back on, you should be able to get away with the front mount intercooler as you can have 1 intake mod in VIC.

Cutting holes is not a good thing, but you could probably hide that...

Or the best thing to do is return everything back to stock and put it on after.

Putting the spring back in the hand brake should be easy for your mechanic, best you have it...

Which VIC Roads you taking it to get looked at?

hey thanks for you reply, well first i have to get a road worthy then ill be taking it to sunshine vicroads. I can possibly hide the holes with some rubber around them so it isnt noticeable. The BOV is risky do you think they will say anything about it.?

So you bought the car and you obviously want to register it in your name yeah..?

If so, then yeah just hide the hole and you'd be fine.

You BOV looks hidden... Where is it located?

I don't think VIC Roads are gonna go Revving / test driving your car, as the car is switched off whilst inspecting the car.

So you BOV won't be heard and if you have hidden it, then you'd probably get lucky...

From my experience when all goes well, mechanic gave me the RWC, took it to VIC Roads in Carlton, the office / inspector guy comes out to look at the car...

Checks the engine and chassis numbers, writes down all + any other numbers they need.

See that you have a RWC.

Fill out all the forms, paper work on their system.

They give you the VIC rego plates and rego sticker, you pay $600+ or whatever for rego, stick it on the widnscreen and screw your plates in, off you go...

ALL CLEAR!

The times I have been to Carlton VIC Roads the seem to don't really care much, as their job is boring and all they do is paper work.

They are not mechanics, so that's why you need the RWC to say the car is roadworthy, cuz they won't know the difference between a wheel and a tyre

Basically if you have the RWC, your pretty much in the clear, this is usually the case.

Keep in mind when a car is stock, it makes things easier to pass, cuz your mechanic is the one who is going to pass you in the first place with the RWC.

Speak to them and see how you go and if things need going back to stock standard, get them to do it.

Return it back to legal mods after you succeed the rego.

damn i feel for you guys over east with all that roadworthy certs n limits on the mods you can do.

Sounds like a great way to spoil your skyline party.

might be easier to drive it to WA, get it registered over here n then drive it back!

[SRBJ3T]

thanks for commenting bruv i took your advice with covering the holes up and getting a factory airbox, and leaving the BOV on. I hope it works out because i want to get him on the road asap. I would go to Carlton vicroads but its a lil far for me, but if they arnt strict i might aswel.

vic rds here dont even come out to look at your car if your just taking it in to put in your name,

+1 If it is already registered.

If it isn't registered yet, Vicroads will only look at VIN and Engine number.

As for intercooler hole, your RW Tester may ignore it or tell you to get engineer certificate for the hole - since you have 32 and doesn't come with airbag you should get the cert easy.

If yours is the one pictured with hole on battery tray, put the battery there and hook it up then hope for the best.

[SRBJ3T]

  Yeah thanks for commenting bud, mine is different to the one in the photo its neater and it dosent go right threw the top comes threw the side. with this certificate where abouts can i go to see this engineer so i can get a certificate? 

[Count Grantleyish]

Vicroads have list of approved engineers on the website, do a search on Vicraods website.

I'd wait for your RW tester to whether pass it or not then go from there.

[MSTRshenanigans]

so is a un sheilded pod filter. (should be in a box etc)

Since when? Last time I viewed the mods list it does not stipulate this (in QLD). Please link your reference or admit to posting mis-information. In Victoria you can only have 1 intake mod and in NSW iirc you must have a box for pod, being that he is in Victoria I would not suggest using QLD rules as a guideline as our laws are rather lax.

Hey guys my mechanic passed my road worthy with all the mods. my pod filter, cooler and BOV should i take it straight in to vic roads like this or remove the pod and put the original air box?

[Count Grantleyish]

If your car is already registered, just take it to vicroads and hand in transfer form and pay the stamp duty.

Unregistered, I'd say leave it as is as the inspector only look for engine and chassis number, thats it.
