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.

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

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
