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?

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
