Hi guys.

I'm moving from delaide to melbourne within a month or 2, and so I pretty much have the option of registering in either melbourne or adelaide.

I know in adelaide, the make you take off all mods except wheels, and was wondering if they did the same in Victoria, or if it was a little more leniant.

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To get it rego'd in melb you'll have to have a RWC which you can get at most mechanics. Then you'll have to bring it into Vic Roads and they'll check everything. So if you have a car that's too loud and all sorts of electronic gear in the cabbin and illegal sh1t under the bonnet they wont pass you.

^^^^ yeah but how often do they walk out to the carpark and look the car over.. they are usually women behinf the counter that take your money for rego and if u are transfering rego they will look at briefly and stamp the road worthy ... aswell as collection thier gay 4% stamp duty lol

other then that they never look at your car at vicroads as far as i know

they didnt look at mine

Yeah, I was more concerned with the initial rego after compliancing.

In adelaide, they make you take off EVERYTHING. The car has aftermarket shocks, an airpod, a turbo timer, and a few other little (but entirely legal) bits.

I was hoping that vic roads may be less..... Crap.

If they are, I'll get my car complied there, otherwise, I'll get it done in adelaide.

Have a look here:

Inspection of the vehicle might be required, but you need to ring Vicroads to find out. If it is currently registered and you are the owner it also appears you won't need a RWC or pay stamp duty....well that's my interpretation, but best ring them to find out

When i got my import 4x4 regoed recently there were all woman working and all they checked was the engine and chassis numbers matched. They didnt care about anything else.

I reality is vicroads dont really care, just like when you go to clear a canary, they will never check ur car.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
