hey fellas,

i'm buying a modified r32 gtst soon and was wondering the requirements needed to pass for a RWC?

Engine Mods were: Custom Garrett 500HP Ball Bearing Turbo, Braided Oil and Water lines, Bosch 044 Fuel Pump, Bosch 555cc injectors, Custom Fuel Rail, Malpassi Rising Rate fuel regulator, HKS Air Pod, HKS Heavy duty actuator Valve, 3inch turbo back exhaust with Dual chamber dump pipe, Microtech LT10s computer

Apexi AVCR, stainless steel intake pipe, Hybrid Front mount intercooler, Catch Can, Exedy Heavy duty organic clutch, Lightened flywheel

Other mods: Phillips XENON headlight kit, Sony XPLOD Head Unit, Blitz Turbo Timer, Blitz Boost Gauge, Razo Gear Knob, Nismo Short Shift Kit, Momo Steering Wheel, new tyres

What modifications do they usually check for a RWC, how long does it take for the checkup and also the price to get a RWC done?

thanks

From what I can see, illegal modifications are:

Pod filter + FMIC combo, aftermarket ECU, boost controller, catch can if it vents to atmosphere.

I'll assume the Philips headlight kit complies to ADR standards so that will pass.

The boost guage might be a problem if it's mounted on the A-pillar, so will the steering wheel if any part of it is highly reflective (ie. chrome) and distracts your vision (ie. glare). Also make sure because you don't have the stock gear stick knob, that you have a sticker to indicate your gear patterns.

Apart from checking the basics such as lights, wipers, etc, they will usually check your suspension and steering bushes under the car as well, so make sure steering boots or whatever aren't cracked and so forth. They will also check for exhaust leaks and if your engine and gearbox mounts are still in good condition.

Someone else might have more information for you.

You'd be better off talking to the place thats going to do your WRC

there is such a large inconsistency with the application of the regulations that one place will pass things another wont, but pick on stuff that really shouldnt be

Strictly speaking whoever you are buying it from is supposed to supply the RWC. This can be a negotiation point, but at least make the purchase conditional on an initial RWC inspection.

i had to do organise the rwc on my r33 when i got it. it failed the first time for:

wiper blades

split muffler

rear seat not secure

compliance plate covered

wing not secure

and i have on it

atmo bov

dual stage boost controller

2 guages on a pillar

pod and fmic combo

depend where you take it really...

thanks for that guys, appreciate it.

Hey there, >_<

A roadworthy is a test of the cars ability to be driven safely...

So...brakes,tyres,wipers,lights,seat belts ,windsreen,horn,shocks,excessive oils leaks,holes in the muffler or smoke out of the rear end are basically what they look at....its not an epa test

I am a mech, and work at a roady specialist.

Most things are checked to be secured and present; ie emissions gear to appear to be present; cat, stovepipe, charcoal canister etc.

All loose items; sub, stereo etc, are to be secure, as it the battery.

They largely look at leaks, bushes, ball joints, unis, tyres, brake pads, disc rotor thickness etc.

thanks for the replies everyone. I was also wondering an estimate of how much a RWC will set me back, considering the mods?

Also, does anyone know of a mechanic that can take a look at the car on wednesday, around the Lilydale area?

cheers, miguel

The costs all depend on all the above items mentioned and there costs...ie tyres brakes windscreen etc might all need to be replaced

After the roadworthy you get a paper listing your problems and off you go to fix them

The cost of the roadworthy if i recall is about $70 but the cost to you depend on all the faults.

I believe you are given two weeks to fix them and return back to the place to re-inspect and stamp

the paper work.

Once the dates expire you need to pay the $70 again.

You might be pleasently surprised or dumbfounded on the faults and the money you need to spend to get it roadworthy.

Good Luck

    • 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.
