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,

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. - If you're going to transfer the rego to Victoria, I wouldn't bother getting NSW one.

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.

See bold text for answers.

Hope it helps and good luck.

Cheers

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
