Hi all! I have just change my NSW driving licence to ACT licence. The trouble with it is that I have to change my NSW rego to ACT rego. According to the "Shop Front" - ACT RTA, I have to get my car inspected by Authorised Inspected Station. I was given a list where to get it inspected. The question to ask is how tough is the vehicle inspection as I do have a front mount Intercooler and some other mods. Will that post any problem? Any comments!!

If you have a front mount and other assorted modifications then you will have to take it to Dickson rego station for an inspection.

All other shops that do checks wont touch it because theres a government regulation that states that all modified vehicles must be taken to Dickson, especially imports.

The guys out at Dickson are thourough but not unfair, they will most likely accept most mods as "safe" as long as they arent really bodgy installs...

Also if you have an aftermarket blowoff valve you will need to remove it and put the stock one back on because ANY atmospheric blowoff valve is classed as venting raw emissions and therefore illegal.

If you have a boost controller - either hide it or take it off because they dont like them unless theyre engineered and if you have a programable ECU dont tell them because most also have to be engineered.

Another good idea would be to fit a "rego" rear muffler to bring the noise down under 90 DB as this is the limit for a turbo 6 cylinder engine.

Good luck :w00t:

I went through the NSW/ACT rego change recently-I had to get an ID check as well as the full inspection-although I was told I could get a inspection done other than Dickson once people saw the car said I should go through Dickson-its not modified too much but 4 goes before I passed. Main things were:

ride height-too low

exhaust too low

exhaust too loud

battery needed to be changed to "sealed battery" in boot

18 " wheels not factory -borrowed Jayce's 17's

No child restaints

No parsel shelf

No "under bonnet issues" came up-they probably wouldnt know whether a front mount is factory or not. Good luck!

Rumble. Another question. Do we really need to change from NSW rego to ACT rego? Not sure how that works! If I have to go through that much trouble, I would better keep my NSW licence and keep my NSW rego. That really S#@Ks.

Yep if you dont need to I'd keep it NSW

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
