Hey guy,

My car is sitting the garage collecting dust, it's currently has no rego and I know need to get a blue slip done.

I know that for me to do a blue slip it's more more complicated because of the complicances involved which has to meet the safey and requirments. Much more of a headache esp if you have modifications on the car.

Well my car is lightly modded

- Body kit

- FMIC

- 18" rims

- Pod filter

- BOV

- Lowered suspension

- Exhaust turbo back

I've asked around some mechanics and some will pass me for the FMIC and some will not is this the case?

I know that I will have to replace my BOV and POD a/f with stock, what about my exhaust?

Does anyone know what esle I could do perhaps some helpful tips, or where I could go to get a blue slip *winkwink*

Any help or suggestion would help

I'm in sydney.

dr gas @ rydalmere... i got my blue slip done there wen i got defected + epa.. i jus changed bov & pod also.. with my exhaust i jus chucked a silencer on.. took liek 10min, paid $30-40 i think and i was on my way :( and yeah i had everything u had too xcept the rims i had 17's but they were really wide with bad tread.

its not a dodgy mechanic where u have to pay X amount to get the blue slip, jus a mechanic that understands hahahaa..

You absolutly right on that mate just a mechanic that understands, ive booked my car in for tuesday at kirawee ill let u know how i go

blue slip prices vary..

depending on what is needed to be a checked, for example a defect is piss easy and shouldnt cost more than $30 if legit

ahhh i see!

my bad. i've only ever needed one kind.

hey guys just curious

i lost my rego because i couldn't clear my defects

and had to go DECC as well and consequence of not passing the sound test, and i went ther and failed

but i was supposed to go back to get it passed again...but i haven't had any letters from them and my rego is already cancelled

so i'm assuming they not really chasing me up on it

but do u know now if i still need to clear defects before i get blue slip? or will just getting a blue slip will be sufficient?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
