Yeah I know both those cars, from my area...  umm, in answer to your question though, I think it's just as simple as getting it signed at a mechanic's workshop...

Thanks for that, anyone know were i could take it?? will my local mechanic be ok ??

Not all mechanics do blue slips, almost all do pink slips though. I think if it has a sign saying "Authorised inspection station' or something similar they do blue slips.

cool does anyone know any around the area, apparantly i have to change my exhaust to stock but thats not going to happen, could i get a dodgy done ????

I got pulled over a 3 months ago in my S2 R33.

Got done for exhaust - which the cop picked with his "expert ear" as being too loud.

My Pod which was open (no box) and my atmo BOV.

All i did was went to an authorised inspection station first, asked them what i needed to do to pass for a blue slip and then fixed them.

In the end i made a box for my pod, got a exhaust reading from an exhaust place that does the testing and put in the stock BOV.

I had to get new rear tires as well before he passed me.

But i would suggest you take it to the inspection station first and show him what you have, ask them what it would take to pass and then just make those changes.

Good luck with that. Hope things go well for you.

Just want to get others opinion on this,

when the cop pulled me over he screamed from his car " HEY DICKHEAD STOP THERE " now he called me a dickhead for no reason right ?? i was talkn to my gf and she works for a law firm in the city and she said that i can press charges and possible get him suspended , as he finished with the defect i said to him in a calm manour " i dont like being called a dick head, thats unprofesional" and he just replied with " look at the car you drive " :O

id love to see him without authority ahahaha :P

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
