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said just get it done there-the ID check was interesting-waited for best part of an hour in a little room with lots of out of date mags :down: .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 ..

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
