Imports Through Dickson


Recommended Posts

they keep changing there minds with my car, ive had 3 phone calls in the last 2 days. Its never been registered in Australia so at first they said i needed an ID so i go from tuggers to dickson, dickson tell me i need a roadworthy so i head to mitchell, mitchell says i need an ID so back to dickson, dickson agrees with that this time so i book in for Thursday. Dickson calls and says only RWC needed, calls again and asks some questions and decides ID needed, calls again this morning and says RWC only. I just want my goddam car to be driving on the freaking roads damit!

Sounds alot like me, only i still had Vic rego on it.

Get an ID, then get a RWC - stop listening to them, it will only make your head hurt.

They don't even know the rules, if you can research them yourself, you'll be better off.

i thought dickson do RWC's :)

i found this to be a problem too, but not to that extent. its annoying when you hear a thousand different things of how to get your car road worthy and registered and your common sence tells you "ask dickson motor registry themselves, they should know, after all, its there job." so you do, and you then get another thousand different answers.

feeling like a ping-pong ball, going back and forth with different info each time, isnt fun :)

I am bit scared now Nugget lol. I was going to get it imported and regoed straight here but have now changed it to get complied and regoed in NSW then all I have to do is bring it over Dickson by way of state transfer on the rego but sounds like that is going to be such a hassle too :(

Would you mind please sending me a PM on the company that did your NSW work just so that you don't see a post up here in a month or so saying a story like yours?

i will look at the papers tonight and pm you, not sure off the top of my head that all

I called the mitchell RWC place again because he seemed to understand more then Dickson and he said just do what dickson says but if they screw it up blame it on them and they should fix it up on the spot.

Ive got the names of the 2 people from dickson who told me different answers so ill let them sort it out

Just because they are at fault doesn't mean you will be out of the woods.

Dickson is useless.

My Advice, move to queanbeyan - at least in NSW they are consistently useless.

Have to count myself lucky I suppose, considering what was done to my car,I was only failed once and fixed the issues they highlighted. :P Just transferred rego to ACT today

bloody hell.... failed because my wheels were 12mm larger then spec and i didnt have a tare weight of vehicle.

Wheels are my fault, it slipped my mind that id need the stock wheels for first time rego... Basically ive got 2 choices, drive to melbourne or get the stock wheels deleivered to home (shitloads of money) or get an engineers report ($300).

Ohwell i had fun driving my car around, guess it goes back under cover for another week or 2 till i get everything sorted. Already used 2 of the 3 day registrations your allowed so this is gonna be fun.

**EDIT**

Does anyone have 4 stock r33 wheels with enough tread to pass rego, will pay to borrow them for an hour or 2

    • 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?
