What Does It Take To Get A Rwc In Qld?

[a6491]

Hey guys,

I must say I'm a tad nervous, I bought myself an R33 GTR some time ago (6 ish months) from Tassie and got it shipped to QLD. I'm about to get myself a road worthy certificate so I can register it in QLD. Just wondering if any guys had much trouble getting a RWC for their skyline? What does it involve? What precautions should I take?

Mods included with my skyline are:

Coilovers

turbo timer

boost controller

sound system

cat back exhaust

pod filters

coil packs

The car is in fantastic condition, no signs of rust (that i'm aware of) I know there is an exhaust leak at the dump pipe which I plan to fix next weekend assuming the weather holds. I'm wondering how anal the guys will be when they carry out the inspection. I plan to revert to the pod filter back to stock and remove the amplifier. But what about the boost controller, turbo timer and coil overs? Do I need to remove and revert the coilovers?

I apologize for coming off as dumb. Being a former Tassie fellow, you just take your POS in and bam, you got the tick of approval. I hear QLD is a little more strict than that lol!

I have read the forms and done some research but really can't get any specifics. Any help, guidance would be fantastic! Thank you in advance

Hide what you can, secure what you can

Take it in and ask they not stop at noise and ride height. (90db @3000RPM, 100mm clearance from front to rear)

Shops hear you drive in and say too low/too loud for starters.

Realistically from what you have posted.

- Coil overs - adjustable ??

- turbo timer (hide)

- boost controller (hide)

- Pod filters (secured/coverd)

- Exhaust -

Plus any other defect items as per regs

I think it's best to find the fail points and target your effort and dollars.

Trying to second guess will get you so far, may get you over the line, won't stop you from being defected tho.

It depends on the workshop you take it to. Some will be more picky than others. Provided there aren't major oil leaks, things like brake pads and tyres are in good condition, and nothing stands out as being obviously dodgy then you shouldn't have to many problems. Wind your coilovers up to a reasonable height and turn your turbo timer off and pull the boost controller out to help things along as well.

And finally, don't go in looking like a douche. For example, if you wear a flat brim cap at an angle, perhaps leave that at home.

Hey thanks for the heads up guys, I work so I'm always "suited up" during the week so presenting myself won't be an issue at least. Coil overs are adjustable and wound up to a nice height (coke can fits under nicely) with some head room so that won't be an issue. Car doesn't present any leakage issues, brakes and pads are fine too. Car is just stock and the last major service (few months ago) fixed those little things. Sounds like I know what has to be done! Thanks for your input

A rwc in qld for an imported car entailes a small bottle of lubricant, a thick rubber glove, approx 2kg of uniodised rock salt and the tears of a thousand baby fur seals.
