hey rumble why did you have to get an ID check? was it because it was a fresh import? And did you first try a local garage and then they told you to go to Dickson?

Cheers Mate.

I went to a garage first but since it had to go for the ID check at Dickson they said just get it done there-the ID check was interesting-waited for best part of an hour in a little room with lots of out of date mags :down: .

Ok, I'm getting lots of conflicting reports from people all over the place.

Basically my car is a currently registered and engineered (reasonably modified) ACT vehicle, I merely wish to change the name of the owner to myself.

What do I need to do?

Dickson, or any inspection garage?

Go to an inspection station and ask them. They can tell you. They will ring the RTA on behalf of you to find out if they can pass you but wont give away details to the RTA if you dont want them to.

everyone's recommendations conflict each other. when i was getting the mr2 checked, dickson said i had to go over the pits, one rego inspection place said i had to also, another said i didn't. ended up being that she didn't need to go over the pits, and only had to go to a servo rego inspection place....she had an engineers report and QLD mod plate

pete, if u can, just take it to a trusting or well recommended rego inspection place, inspections cost 36 bucks or so from memory, test your luck?

^ That was the same for my skyline. The RTA change the rules so many times a year that the dudes cant keep up. The guy who i finally got to pass mine was 100% sure he couldnt touch imports as a letter came to him a few months prior saying they could no longer pass imports. I assured him he could do it as i had been told by a number of other inspection stations. He rang the RTA and sure enough they told him it was fine...

Take it somewhere and ask.

haha yeah ive been in that little room.. they closed a curtain over my car then told me to go to that room when I was trying to pass my old car (CRX) which had no compliance plate! .. they did forensic checks on it then had to send it away to a forensic lab to be fully inspected..

I had to wait 1 week for the outcome (nerve racking wait cause they told me if it was rebirthed i would lose it cold) and then finally they said i could have it cause they had no solid proof that it was stolen..

any way back to my point, that room is gay ..

      Ben's R32 Gtst Build

      It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Bear in mind RBs tend to be pretty terrible for fuel economy and it heavily depends on driving style. In my experience with a heavy-ass turbo Stagea the 10l/100km is really just ideal conditions highway driving. Start-stop in the city is killer and it ends up being 16-19l/100km easily. I keep track of it every time I get fuel and it is never pretty. There are a few topics in the forums where people share their fuel economy if you want to get some ideas of what it can be like. I don't think it is worth that much to compare though because it depends so much on the driving.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
