Vehicle Inspection In Act

[nsanity]

hey guys, i'm picking up my skyline from melbourne tonight, however he's been told he needs an Airbox on for the RWC.

Now i can't borrow his mates one here in Canberra.

The quesiton is, am i likely to get pulled up on it here in Canberra at Dickson? Is there someone i can talk to about getting it sorted out here?

Borrow an airbox, it'll make your life less painful. I'm sure one of the act guys has one, if not I've got a couple of them

[Mr Italy!]

I passed my rego inspection with an Air pod.

They're legel here aslong as they are secured and wont move around...

[race_snooze]

agreed, secured should be fine

[SkyGTRline]

Ive got one that can be borrowed... or bought...

This is for a 32

Should be fine.

I would be more worried about the front mount intercooler to be honest.

Although me and my mate went thru dickson with his car with a massive front mount and no reo bar and a massive mouth cut out of the front bar and they didnt really care..

As long as your not too loud and your ground clearance is ok then you'll be sweet.

Damn you ACT, over here anything thats not a stocker airbox is a "defect". Thats a nice looking cold air intake

I just past my rego today :D and i have FMIC, pod and some other things. All you need is to get a rego inspection before you go over the pits at dickson. Try paul whyte automotive in gungahlin, very good. If you need to quite down your exhaust let me know as i have a custom quite piece of shit but already put my cannon back on .

Rego? or interstate move?

My "cockpit" looks like so

Is the PFC Hand Controller and Boost Controller going to cause "dramas"? Should i hide them (or disconnect totally for the inspection etc..)

Regarding Exhaust Noise, unless someone pushes past about 3 - 3.5k you are never going to notice it. Lovely piece of work.

Also will the steering wheel cause any problems?

They'll probably fiddle with the PFC and boost controller.

When I went in one of the guys just started pushing buttons and fiddling around with my boost settings.

[Amaru]

Hide the PFC hand controller and remove the pictures from the forum.

Aftermarket ECU's are a big no-no... sometimes they will get you for it, other times they wont.

Steering wheel will be fine as long as its secure and it wasnt an airbag model and has had the airbag removed.

Doesn't the boss kit have to be collapsible or something? At least I remember hearing something like that

[Amaru]

I thought the only requirement was a collapsable steering column which Nissan built in factory (as every other car does). Could be wrong though

I do remember going over Dickson though and horn button was removed to confirm the wheel had been bolted on properly.

Both, i had to change it to ACT and also register it in my name.

They reved mine on 3k for about 5 seconds when i got my RWC. He said it might pass but when i got to dickson they were like "nope too loud".

Why did you have to go to Dickson to get inspected?

According to the ACT RTA site all you need to do is visit an authorised inspection station and then pay for your rego.

I am in the process of buying a car from NSW and it has rego in NSW for 10 months.

I want to cash what there is left of rego in nsw and re register it in the ACT. but when I checked on the rego site all it said is take it to an authorised inspection station and get it pinkslipped and then pay at the act shopfront.

[CEF11E]

I just called ACT rego and they told me to just go to any authorised inspection station and get it stamped then take all that stuff into a canberra connect office to pay rego

[Bluprint]

I thought that all private imports/modified vehicles have to go to Dickson, only standard cars can get away with going elsewhere.

By modified I mean modified and requiring an engineer's certificate

[Amaru]

Please note that, vehicles over 4.5 tonne GVM, public vehicles, modified vehicles, imported vehicles or vehicles without compliance plates MUST attend the Dickson Motor Registry.

There was a discussion about this recently. To the letter of the law it must go to Dickson, but some staff at the motor registry/canberra connect arent really aware of this rule which is why they say take it to any authorised inspection station.
