That was my question, "do I have to physically hand it in?" :P.

Sorry I had a better read of the letter; yeah says I can fax or mail it in as well. Have to call for a receipt of the fax after you send apparently... man I haven't sent a fax in forever, don't even remember how xD.

I know this question must have been asked a million times before, but does anyone know of a mechanic in the eastern suburbs that can write a road worthy without picking on stupid stuff like kmart tyre & auto do? I'm selling my car and I need a RWC, not a dodgey one because the car is pretty much standard and in great condition.

so whats the go on EPA noise inspection, will a clamped on muffler pass if its under the DB limit or will it fail due to not being welded on, much like the bolt on silencers?

such as...

EXHAUST-COUPLERS-SINGLE_COUPLER_ALUMINIZED.jpg

From my experience they dont care, infact when i did mine he just made up a section after the rear flange in 2.5" to make it legal and tld me he would put my old one in the boot so i can put it back on after i have cleared the defect.

That joiner is pretty much no different to a flanged connector.

well if that's so it should make swapping the exhuast for epa a lil easier , you mean when you cleared the EPA?

plan on making up a 3 to 2" adapter to aresstor to muffler when i get round to it, then just remove a mount and clamp the pipe on for epa duties

i've passed a rwc with a 3", i'm just talking about the anal epa here

Yea im with Dolan, want to sell my car, surley there are the few places that are more lenient than others? I dont even know what the rules are here

Are pod filters illegal? also factory return front mounts and HID's?

The last owner got the RWC piss easy but that was before the big law change this year. At $200 a pop its not somthing I wana keep trying until it passes it could become quite expensive :wacko:

So make the car legal before going for a RWC?

The rules are pretty clear and easy to follow - this thread covers it all.

So if you go in with a car that's above board, there is no reason to then have issues. Given what you have listed is not legal, if you do have issues then that's kinda your own issue if you chose to roll the dice. I know it sounds harsh, but that's just how it is.

thats sweet, I was thinking HID's were illegal, easy change over. But some how ive been thinking that pods were illegal as were fmic, I think some mechanics have mentioned that in the past, somthing about only allowed one intake modification. It sounds pretty stupid to me. I will do my best to make sure its all ligit when the time comes.

Stupid or not - that's the law.

You could work that out by reading the first 3 posts of this thread :thumbsup:

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
