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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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
