mornin'

Morning Mangs F*ck mondays

Sh*t, forgot about that. Available for go karting: 04/02 05/02 11/02 18/02 19/02 (after happy laps & breakfast) 25/02 Monday or Wed nights could be a possibility, up until the last week in feb anyway (Kyle has to go back to uni).

It's surprisingly effective at belting the cover off the soft ball that comes with it, so maybe WANT!

Never heard of a mod plate being needed for an aftermarket turbo, nor is there a code to cover it... I know they don't like aftermarket ECUs though, due to the fact that it messes with emissions. Get your engineer to call QLD transport? Or find another engineer?

I'd say he's working on VIC regs. QLD Transport CAN and DO emission test you, see a recent thread in this section about it. My XF was also tested once, although I didn't get a defect or fine as it is not a skyline... However, I've never heard of it having to be done for rego or a mod plate before. EDIT: You only get away without a mod plate if that particular engine (RB30) was offered as a standard option for the model you are installing it in (R34). It wasn't, so you WILL need a mod plate.

Baha, that was a good way to kill some time. Very entertaining. Some things he has done with the car look good. If he wasn't trying so hard to make it look like a ferrari it could be a real nice tib. From the side you can see a bit of similarity with a ferrari, but not so much from the front and definitely not from the rear. I'd be interested to see what it looked like with the new tail lights. The steering wheel and engine bay stuff just looks tacky as hell. Some of his posts make me think he is definitely a few tinnies short of a slab. He actually seems to think those clip on caliper things are a legit brake upgrade...

Thanks Bozman!

I can't find I-can't-believe-its-not-ferrari. Someone link me up

Fark I didn't notice that. Friday the 13th, 2012... Zombies?

Yep transfer from another state is the same as deregistering and registering. You will need both a mod plate and RWC. Here is the list of QLD Mod Plate codes: You are definitely going to need an LA1, possibly LA3 for the 26/30. Others may be needed depending on other mods you have, and what scheme the car was complied under. If you don't have the compliance papers that will be the biggest headache, the rest you can all get around. If QLD transport decide it hasn't been complied properly and you can't prove otherwise, it will have to be complied again. Mod plate guys charge what they like, and they all do it differently. Some charge per plate (set price, $300 for example), some charge per code, and others charge a large amount for the first code (say, $100), then not so much for each code after that ($50). In any case, you wouldn't be looking at more than a few hundred bux at most. Some places will look closely at the car/mods and fail dodgy things, some will look 'less thoroughly'. You will need one in the latter category based on some of the things you've listed (more info below). Yes, you will also need a road worthy certificate (RWC). These vary in cost too, I think around 100-200 bux (ballpark) and again there are ones who are 'very thorough' and ones who are 'not so thorough'. As a general rule, the more expensive ones will be less thorough . Technically, these don't cover modifications but are about making sure the car is road worthy (brakes work, suspension works, not falling apart due to rust, etc.) but they can still fail you for illegal mods if they notice them. In regards to your mod list: rb26/30 Will be OK with mod plate. intercooler holes under battery tray This is illegal, but if your mod plate and RWC guys don't look to close it won't be a problem for getting rego. If the buyer gets pulled over by the fuzz though and they spot the holes, he will need to convince them that they are factory holes or he'll be in for a very hard to clear defect. FYI, this is considered cutting a 'structural part of the car'. Stupid, I know. reo bar slightly modified for front bar. Depends what you've done. If you've cut it, see above, although it should be easy to clear this defect with a stock reo. If you've just bent it slightly or something, it should be OK. bigger wheels OK as long as they fit the rules set out here: http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/c792a0c9-92b1-43ee-933b-7bdd8b20842f/pdf_modification_motor_vehicles2.pdf 1000cc injectors, 2x 044 fuel pumps OK as long as the aftermarket ECU controlling them is nice and hidden 3.5 straight pipe with muffler, no cats. No cats is illegal and a MASSIVE fine if caught. Striaght pipe + Muffler will be OK if it isn't too loud. Suggest putting cat(s) in. screamer Illegal. Again, will be possible to get past mod plate and rwc if they don't look to close, risk of defect once registered though. You can't get mod plates to cover any of these problems, they are just plain not allowed. In short, if the compliance is all in order you should be able to get it registered, but driving it round will risk defects. One of the joys of owning a modified car in any state.

Morning Mangs, Not much

Sarp Scottay. So, go karting? When?

Morning Mangs, Going to be a long day today

Mang, add me on Battlelog or whatever it is. Smity42. Yeah mine was literally taking over five minutes to load the bigger maps. With the SSD it is seconds. It's astonishing.

all good, we found someone

bored.

Will do. Have you had a change of heart regarding indoor tonight?

Yeah I know, it's dreadful! BF3 map load times have gone from 3-4 minutes to 10-20s. And Windows, etc all load lightning fast as well Just thought you'd like to know you were proven right regarding RAID I'm pretty sure you did Cruise sunday, so Saturday?
