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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
