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.

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

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???

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
