My understanding for ACT rules regarding FMIC:

If your vehicle was fitting with an intercooler mounted anywhere on the front of the car (side-mount counts) then you're perfectly within the rules to change to a proper front-mount intercooler provided that you didn't need to modify the chassis (cutting hole for return pipe) or reo bar in any way. Obviously it has to be mounted properly. Dickson had no problems with my front mount, and I don't believe it was noted on the engineer's report (well, at least not in the same way my turbo/suspension etc were).

Nope, only if it's newer than 10 years old. Just went through the process with my daily driver.

If its only there for a history check wouldn't they just need the vin etc not to look at everything on the car though?

Because I thought you only did the history check etc after you got a rwc for interstate cars?

I'm thoroughly confused on it!

No idea! I'm just sayin to transfer my Beema from NSW rego to ACT rego all I had to do was go get it inspected at any authorised workshop (which I did) then took the paperwork to dickson with the old plates. Signed some shit, got new plates and was done.

Was very easy. It's nice to have one car that is straight forward!

All I had to do for the GTR was get it inspected at Ultimate Tunes then go to Woden hand the old plates in and get the new. Maybe because the car was older than 10 years?

I have to do my 2004 XT Forester in February so will be interested to see what I have to do for that.

Yeh for some reason you only need the history check if it's less than 10 yrs old.

I don't get why they need you to go to Dickson for it though...

The idea behind the ID check is that its supposed to check that the car hasnt been rebirthed or anything

Well that's a kick in the grundle then isn't it.

Is there anyway to avoid the Dickson history check with a newer 2nd hand car? Like getting documents which show it's history from car dealer and previous owners etc or something along those lines?

Why must they be such douchebags...

before putting all this fear into the masses.

They actually do their job, just sometimes it seems over zelous on the imports and modified vehicles.

My main gripe is that alot of our cars are ALOT safer than most shitters on the road. Yet we appear to be the centre of their target (ing).

Ahh, but they also have a habit of choosing when and when not to 'do their job' by selectively ignoring certain things....as well as not even knowing their own tech standards they should be following half the time. lol

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      By Bubblerate · Posted

      I’ve been considering one of these screens too, but I've heard mixed reviews about the software responsiveness. Some say it's great, while others mention lag issues. Before pulling the trigger, I'd check out a few recent user experiences to see if the latest models have improved.

      Kaizo Industries put a VIN plate over where the Nissan plate would go. It was part of how they broke the law and attracted feds going after them.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
