Pink slip ?Q?

[SXCSKY]

Hey guys

When i take my car for rego ...wats the deal with:

pods

bov's

exhausts

gauges

boost controllers

turbo timers

wheels

springs

[HKS-R33]

when i got mine registered i had to go back because they complained about the wheels...check what your engineers report says and keep those tyres on...i had the standard rims and the tyres recommended on the tyre plaque inside the drivers door and they still knocked it back

thats all they were mainly picky about with me

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).

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?

As Tony said. The guy i go to doesn't fail me unless it's something stupid like bald tyres. Helps that he is into imports himself.

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
