Hi all,

Just wondering where can I have the Blue slip done for changing of registeration from ACT to NSW number plate? Also, what will they check during the blue slip? I have a FMIC and a pod filter. Anyone with the same experience? Need advice. Cheers!

Usually an RTA inspection station (no, not the ones on the roadside!) can do them, or a Certified mechanic, if you call the RTA they should be able to tell you where your nearest one is. I've found that they are vary significantly in how they do a blue-slip.

I had to Blue-slip an RB20'd R31 pintara (with full engineers cert) it had a dumper exhaust that sat just inside the rear bar, one place classified it as an exhaust leak, they called the 1 piece tailshaft illegal (it was on the cert), the tyres needed replacing (still above tread wear markers), and a whole heap of niggly little shit. I took it to another joint & they put a ball-joint into it and it was fine. :)

Anyway, for blue-slip i would reccomend putting a stock-airbox back in as technically a pod has to be secured, in a box & engineered. FMIC wont be a worry as long as its mounted properly.

Where abouts are you? (Canberra?) that'd help some ppl get an Idea of where you could take the car.

good luck.

    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
