Do you?

Would be better if you didnt.

Give it a try.

Could save a lot of hassle.

Tried with Helga - got pushed away from everyone and was told Dickson was the only way. Thought I already did my research for it.

You're supposed to take it through Dickson because it's an import - interstate has nothing to do with it (at least not recently).

Well, that answers the question - Rosie is an import hence having to take it to Dickson. Unless there is a cool off period of x amount of years?

Nah, I'm fairly sure it's Dickson end of story....doesn't mean you can't get a RWC from somewhere else, if they'll do it. I got my R33's RWC from Lanyon Service Centre (these guys were dodgy lol, ended up losing their ticket). Just gotta hope the person behind the counter in the shopfront doesn't pick up on it (which is extremely unlikely, unless they've changed the way they do things).

Short answer: it's supposed to go through Dickson, but that doesn't mean you can't get it passed somewhere else.

Oh, I get you know. Haha sorry - a little slow this morning.

Well, I'm pretty confident that it'll pass through dickson. The first time it went through was the real basic stuff. Noise and height with child restraints - which is fair. This time round, I have all that fixed + more they didn't ask about. So, I have no concerns for not passing. Also, given that Shell's Child Restraints are through the speakers (so are mine) I no longer have doubt.

Man you do a good job at confusing me lol.....do you honestly not understand the gravity of requiring an engineer's certificate? ESPECIALLY FOR ONE THING, since they have to certify the entire car regardless. Might as well avoid it until you have REAL modifications to have engineered. No point dishing out to engineer the restraints, only to have to do it again when you get defected for something and sent over Dickson with a stack of mods lol

I am avoiding the Cert - hence doing a FULL inspection again. I'm not doing the re-test. My hope is that Dickson will see the child restraints and not mark me down for it (they actually don't get into the back seat to see if it's working properly) - however, they're legally installed by Trojan. I got everything complied at Trojan for Dickson - meaning, that everything on my car is now legal (except for wheels which I have stocks in the garage), so passing through pits with a full inspection may not mark down child restraints.

First Dickson visit - no child restraints - require engineer cert

second Dickson visit - Child restraint - hoping I do not require engineer cert.

They joys of owning an import.

Rules re dickson:

as of about 4 months ago ALL imports have to go through dickson as part of their crackdown. Before that if it was a car from the ACT anywhere could do the inspection. Interstate "prefers" you to go through dickson. Still didn't have to. I got my GTR and had the inspection done in a place in fyshwick (canberra car).

My mates s15 was done and Ultimate tunes and passed there.

Unfortunately its just how dickson runs at the moment. Don't know if they will back off any time soon....

I expect you are on record at Dickson and I expect they will enquire about the certificate

I also thought this would be the case - but I rocked up for my re-test without my papers (I called in advance to see if this was going to be a problem - they said no)... So with no papers, the guy said, in short. "No papers, no test". He also mentioned that they don't have the mechanic report (Which the guy jots down what needed to be fixed) so, I'm hoping my car fixes are not on record.

I hope that makes sense.

[Anfanee]

goodluck!

[Trozzle]

Yeah it made sense, though it's also relying on the incompetence and poor memory of the inspectors on shift....which means you should be fine LOL

You should be OK unless the Indian guy is there, he is a douche. I know they do log stuff on there attached with VINs (this is how they detect defects etc) but I'm not sure if it has previous inspections or not.

Hopefully its all easy and goes well

[RosieR34]

Thanks guys - fingers crossed !

[Got a Pulsar]

Don't Forget to do something about that "Stock Airbox" that is only held with one bolt and doesn't line up with the rest of the holes.

Put Pod back on with Bracket me thinks. Have you fixed that dodge Taillight yet???
