I bought my GTT from Vic... we have "authorised inspection stations" here which are just workshops/servos, but if your car is too modified you will have to go to the main inspection place at Dickson (aka "the pits"). It's a proper inspection place with rollers, noise level equipment etc.

The rules seem to be a bit better here than some states (we can have un-enclosed pods etc) but it's a bit hit and miss. If your car is tidy you may get away with more than if you are trying to pass something that looks like a drift pig.

What sort of mods are we talking about?

What sort of mods are we talking about?

3 1/2 inch exhuast,pod(not in box),bov,intercooler,plazaman pleanum+90mm throttle body,microtech ecu,900 cc injectors,fuel pump+regulator,garrett turbo,boost controller a few other bits and pieces that should be ok rims,suspention ect no body kits or big wings,the thing is i can get it striped to stock here for $200 (have all the stock gear still)so not sure weather to get it done here or wing it and hope for the best cheer,another thing are there epa notices there too anyone who has been to vic should know what i'm talking about

if its only guna cost ya $200 then id do it now and get it changed back after the rego side of things is sorted.

-exhaust needs to be <90dB @3,200-3,600rpm (depending on date of build)

- no bashed out cats or de-cat pipes (big fines)

-pod needs to be secured and have some kind of heat shielding

-bov needs to be 100% plumb back and not adjustable

-intercooler needs to be securely mounted and centre section of bumper bar cant be completely cut away

-cant have a boost controller or bigger turbo

-coilovers are legal if they are set to correct ground clearance and eyebrow heights (usually marked so they can see if they have been messed with in case of a defect etc)

-tyres need to be load rated

-wheel spacers are illegal (any kind unless its an OEM fitted track kit)

-cant have external fuel pumps and big surge tanks in your boot unless its engineered

-no drift style handbrake buttons (no spring etc)

-unsure about anti-hicas bars

-no locked diffs

-if you have braided brake lines they must be DOT and ADR approved

hope that covers enough for ya

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      Agree with Rob. I recently did mine and replacing with a brand new unit made the most sense compared with rebuilding my existing gearbox.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
