So, january comes around and another influx of soldiers are on their way (including me) and some of us bring modded cars up.

How does the roadworthy test go in the NT? they sound fairly easy going from what I hear? Namely things like a full padded roll cage, possibly loud exhaust, coilovers and rear seats removed. Will any of these cause problems when trying to get a roadworthy? or is it just easier to keep it registered in VIC?

Thanks.

dude in all honesty if your only up in the nt for a bit just keep it vic..but if your here for any longer than about 6 months get it changed over but just be aware if you get a mvr guy thats had a bad day he might pick your ride...but if its neat and tidy and everything works...eg. seat belts lights horn windscreen wipers..you will have no probs:D

Hey mitch

When i got posted up here they picked my R33 to bits. Ride height too low (coil overs fitted), headlights aiming too low, window tint too dark!! and few other things. Saying this i know i was in the wrong, but not as laid back as you may think.

Cheers Luke

I'll be getting my new car in a few weeks (34 GTR) but I'm gonna take it back down to katherine and get it registered there. Its completely bog stock but you can never be too sure. you'll need to get a green slip then take it to the pits. but in katherine the pits is over at the weighbridge. They'll ask for you to get a rego inspection first then they just check your enginge number and vin. Voila! Darwin do the full shebang. stuff that.

just head into the Darwin RAAF base dude and old mate at the sevo does inspections, hes pretty laid back so you should have any problems with him. i took mine over the mvr and got drilled and old mate at the servo said i was clown for not taking it to him, but hey i didn't know.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
