Basic rule of thumb is that a garage can give you a pink slip for anything, but Police can still defect you for whatever was passed by that garage (eg. dark tint).

Some places are stricter than others.

One thing is for sure, they do NOT test for emissions, or sound. So exhaust and pod are fine.

Wheels and springs are fine...unless your wheels/tires are constantly scrubbing the guards.

Height: my car's have never been checked. I use to drive an Integra that was lower than legal (stupidly low). Seven years of owning that car and I didn't once have a problem with getting a pink slip for it.

Boost controller: I don't think most local service station garage's would even think to look for one, or even know what one was if they saw it.

Tint: Any car built after a certain date (I think it was August 1992 or something) has to be checked by them for the darkness of the tint. If the car was built before this date they are not required to check the tint at all, so you can get away with having 5% tint. (Remember, they can pass it, but the cops can still defect you for it).

wil..

P.S. This only applies to NSW. Not sure what it's like in other states.

P.P.S. Sxcsky I think I've seen your car. Shepherd's Drive, Cherrybrook ring a bell?

Unfortunately with imports, I would not chance your corner garage unless you know them and they will 'set you up the bomb'.

It's not really legal but the friend I take it do doesn't bother to drive the car or test brakes. He makes me fill out the VIN and rego and I pays my $30 and I get my pink slip.

He didn't want to test my brakes because it's a 'waste of time using his accelerometer to run a car with four pot pistons, 300mm discs and racing pads'.

I don't waste his time with bald tyres or bad lights. It's a nice relationship :)

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
