Hi, guys,

I ordered a HKS GT2835 Pro S (0.68) from nengun but I was wondering if my car will still be road worthy if I install it. WIll I still be able to get my road worthy certificate (pink slip) if I install the turbo? I reside in the ACT

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's low mount, so it shouldn't draw big attention like a high mount would.

Anyway, you can get a new turbo engineered to it's 'legal' (but any police officer can still serve you a defect notice so that you have to get it OK'ed again at the pits - may just require you showing the engineering report).

You know who you COULD ring? the RTA. And get a defnite answer. You don't need to give names or rego numbers while asking this kind of question, and they will give you the URLs of the appropriate doco (if you can't find it on their site).

Changing turbos is not against the law, modifying the vehichle to accomidate can be aka atmo wastegates ect.

Pro S

So that side of things wont be a problem...

But yeah at the end of the day a cop can still deem it unroadworthy/defectable

Slightly off topic but what car is it going on?

Pro S

R33 GTS-T.

My concern is however, I recently purchased the car, and I have to go through the pits in a couple of months time to get it inspected in order to get my pink slip, but I am planning on putting the pro S in in the next couple of weeks, thus, by the time I take my car in for inspection (roadworthy certificate), my pro S will be installed.

I don't mean will;l I get defected by a cop, what I am trying to ask is, will I pass the inspection in order to get a road worthy?

Maybe I should cover it with the stock heat sheild, but Id have to modify it....

mate if it's not leaking any oil and or coolant, then you will pass a road worthy.

road worthy certificate is more about making sure the car is pretty much that.. Road worthy.

how much tread is on the tyres, (including spare).

any oil leaks?

any fluid leaks?

brake test.

they measure the brake discs to make sure they have at least the bare minimum thickness.

pads have enough meat.

indicators work.

parkers

headlights.

high beams.

brake lights.

windscreen wipers and their rubber without streaks.

Battery load testing.

that's pretty much it.

You could have a high mounted T88 and they wouldn't give a crap.

The mechanics that do the road worthy that is.

cops are a different story.

Too impatient to just wait until you've got your RWC, then install it after? In ACT, once you've got RWC, I don't think you ever need to get it checked again (I've never needed to after buying a car), so noone's going to go looking unless you get pulled over and sent back to the pits.

Could you wait there patiently while the HKS GT2835 is starring you in the face saying "please install me, you wont regret it"?

Rego runs out in August, that's 6 months away, turbo gets here soon hopefully (2 weeks), nengun keep pushing the date back.... getting pretty sik of it...

I can't wait 6 months to install the 2835, I'd rather pay money to put the stock one back on for rego :D

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
