Hi all,

I need to get a roadworthy for my GTR32. Need one where they aren't picky on things cuz it's quite modified, but it has modification plates. It's just the stuff like it has no ABS, no aircon, etc etc. Basically I need a RWC no matter wot before this saturday!!! Inputs please!

Cheers~

i got my car done at boike autmotive at kuraby, they didn't seem to worry too much about mods but they did look at the safety items, like steering, braking, drive train lights etc. no so worried about exhaust, suspension i.e. coilovers.

If he doesn't need the RWC, but would prefer one, and your going to get a dodgey one.. what is the point in getting one at all LOL

It's not that hard to get one though, just find a dodgey looking place and tell them you want to transfer the car from your dads name to yours asap, works a treat ;)

ACE auto in Murarrie did mine.

Although my car was fairly stock, they did not have anything to say about the following.

18" non standard wheels

Sports steering wheel

HKS blow off valve

Lowered

Eyelids over headlights

Cat back exhaust

They also looked after the car quite well, no grease or shit on the steering wheel or dirt in the carwhich is what you usually get after any mechanic has been in it.

There really are no "relaxed" places anymore, believe me I looked as I was really worried about the above.

They have all been shut down or will only do it for really really close mates.

Thanx guys, didn't need one in the end~ car's sold~

Even so, to clear up something for everyone.

Roadworthy does not depend on modifications done. There are certain guidlines that they must follow. Other than that, as long as the car is essentially safe, it should pass.

If you have a blue plate for your mods, then they should not even need to be checked in a roadworthy

Silly things pass like:

You can have absolutely no baffling left in your rear muffler but if it doesn't exceed noise limits and there are no holes then it passes.

No spare needs to be present.

Only driver's side window has to work

Oil leaks are ok as long as (after cleaned) they do not form one drip within 10 minutes.

Surface rust is ok but can't poke anything through it.

As you can see it's not like you have to have a new car to pass.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
