Intercooler/airbag Rego Inspection Query

[Majestic]

Hi skyline drivers,

I'm about to buy a Black R33 GTR. It does have a aftermarket big intercooler on it. Can anyone out there tell me if this is an issue for ACT rego/roadworthy check? someone told me that it's an instant fail because it interferes with airbag deployment. Has anyone had this experience when going for an ACT roadworthy?

Pffft - No Issue. Secured and all is good.

where abouts do you go for a roadworthy? The person who told me recently took his R33 GTS T to a garage in Dickson - the mechanic said he was lucky he didnt have an airbag because the aftermarket intercooler would be an instant fail. I'm happy to be proven wrong. Maybe that garage is real picky?

Should be no problem with that, unless the airbag is behind the bumper, LOL Seriously though it can only interfere if the airbag sensors are moved ot removed.

Since a GTR has a front mount intercooler standard, there should be no issue with that, could be an issue on a GTS-t though since they dont have a "front mount" as standard.

Take it to Andy's Autogas on Barrier St Fyshwick and ask him before getting the inspection done, I'm fairly sure it wont be a problem.

Premier Automotive in mitchelll did my rego check. intercooler is fine, so was pod filter. Dickson warned me i "could" be defected in nsw because the laws are different. But I'm not too worried.

However mine also has no airbag anyway...

EDIT: Mine is the GTS-T
