If its outta rego for more than 12 months then you need an inspection before renewing the rego. You can get it inspected anywhere. (10% of all inspections are recalled to Dickson at random, kind of a quality check of the inspector)

^^^ As above.

HOWEVER!!!

Last I heard the loophole on the rego.act.gov.au website still worked whereby it advises you that vehicles that have lapsed rego for more than 12 months require a RWC, yet will still allow you to renew it. lol. Give that a shot first if this is the case.

Hey Taylor, seeing as you seem to know alot about rego i thought id ask something i have been wondering. On the rego act site it mentioned imported vehicles needing to go through dickson anyway. Im assuming that this is purely for fresh imports that have been complied not registered? I havnt ever had trouble regestering anything but just thought id ask.

I took the silvia today. Failed on tint being too dark on the LHR quarter glass and headlights aimed too high. I went around the corner and stripped the tint off then went to find someone to re-aim my headlights. Tried a good dozen places in dickson, braddon and Mitchell and the only place that wasnt too busy to help out was jap spec garage, and they were the only ones not equipped to do it lol They helped me out though and told me how to do it in my garage so I went home and aimed them.

Took the car straight back to dickson (didn't have to rebook) and those two items were ticked off, but some time during the day a tennis-ball sized hole blew in the bottom of my muffler :( so I got failed again.

Round 3 tomorrow.

    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
    • OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear
