Hi guys,

I am a mexican student currently in Brisbane and I need to sell my car.

The car has passed RWC in Victoria 2 months ago. Now I need a QLD RWC and gave the car to a mechanic. They said it is in very good condition, only a few things need to be fixed. And these "few things" are going to cost 1500 bucks!!!

I am afraid he´s taking advantage of me cause I am foreigner. What can I do? I need help urgently.

I heard about mobile RWC check. Is it more possible to pass it?

Do you maybe know someone?

Please give me some advice! Don´t know what I can do :(

Thanxxxx! Mariposa

I live in brisbane, and the last thing i want is another unroadworthy shit box driving around and potentially putting my friends/ family at risk.

but the real issue here is, you are not a 'mexican student looking for help'. you are looking for dodgy mechanics / cars with dodgy RWC, so you can go bust them. we take SAU very seriously, we have enough trouble trying to show the general comunity that we aren't a bunch of 'hoons'. we dont need this crap. we are car enthusiasts. no one on this forum will fall for your bull shit. how many mexican students would ever sign up to a very niche car forum, without owning the said car, and ask for info on who gives dodgy rwc?

its in great condition but needs $1500 spent on it.. f**kn lol

clearly there is something wrong with it deeming it not safe therefor not worthy of being on the road.

I sincerely hope that you CAN'T find a mechanic willing to put something unsafe on the road..

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
