Out of curiosity, does anyone know if aftermarket 4WD controllers are legal?

I have not read a law against them (yet) but I'm sure the police may find one if necessary.

Does anyone know a law against adjusting the AWD system in your vehicle using an electronic device?

i got a defect for being to low , on the paper it said adjust it a little more higher thats it. he ticked the box RWC required and it was a minor. Now would i need to go to a workshop and get a RWC or do i just adjust the hieght at home then go to VIC roads and get them to check?

Thanks.

Geraus.

i believe if you change the rails yes

and a fixed back requires engineers also - as you legally have to re-rego it as a 2-seater only - and if you get busted with people in the backseat - god help you :P

They dont care, and for good reason.

In an event of an accident on the passenger side - how do people get out of the drivers?

Its purely a safety thing, and honestly something i very much agree with.

quick question re seats - and sorry I haven't read entire thread only the last little bit cause we're on the topic of seats sorta anyways:

I've removed my rear seats years ago to replace with mdf/fibreglass/multimedia etc and spent a day on the phones chasing around requirements. Finally, the answer was that if i didn't change the metal/structure/parcelshelf or anything existing, then i didn't need an engineers certificate. People have told me i need to re-register but I never have and have been pulled over by cops up to 6 times already this year but nothing, nobody says anything.

do i speak to vic roads before rego is due next time, or remain how is as it can be changed back and not permanent? has it got something to do with the seatbelts if they are removed or not?

Thanks.

  • 2 weeks later...

Got defected twice this weekend :P one for tyres being a bit too bald and the other for blue parkers. I copped a major for the tyres with RWC needed. Now my car will pass easily except for one thing... is it un-roadworthy to not have a fan shroud? Should i hide my boost controller somewhere? or is that only an EPA thing?

Hi,

I did a search but can't seem to find an exact answer to my questions.

I'm looking at buying a skyline from NSW. The car would have a NSW RWC with it.

1. What do I need to get it registered in my name in VIC?

2. Do I need to get a VIC RWC again?

3. Also, since the car is not rego-ed in VIC, when driving back from NSW with an NSW rego, do I need to apply for temp rego from Vicroads?

4. What should I be getting from the seller in NSW? i.e. What kind of documents?

Sorry for these questions as I'll be relocating to melbourne for work come end June. Thank you.

Hi,

1. What do I need to get it registered in my name in VIC? See below.

2. Do I need to get a VIC RWC again? Yes you do need to obtain RWC in Victoria.

3. Also, since the car is not rego-ed in VIC, when driving back from NSW with an NSW rego, do I need to apply for temp rego from Vicroads? Just drive around until you get Victorian RWC and go to Vicroads to swap the plates over.

4. What should I be getting from the seller in NSW? i.e. What kind of documents? You'll need some sort of ownership transfer form and possibly receipt for stamp duty (not 100% but Vicroads site should cover this).

Sorry for these questions as I'll be relocating to melbourne for work come end June. Thank you.

Hope it helps and good luck.

Thanks mate.

Just another quick question:

If I still need to obtain another RWC in VIC, the RWC in NSW is not really needed right? ---> was that what you meant in your answer to my first question?

cheers

Yes, if you're going to register it in VIC, what is the point of getting NSW cos they're different (all state of Australia have different laws in Roadworthy).

Another reason to bargain the price down a bit.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
