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?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
