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.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
