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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
