ive been to vic, nsw, and rego in qld never once got defected, been pulled over many times though. this was also on my p's as qld didnt have those rules but vic and nsw did at the time.

99% chance youll be fine and they wont bother, theres more cars they can get in sydney for alot less stuffing around.

I dont know if the police officer told you, you need to change your licence and plates after 3 months of living in NSW.. Its on the RTA website .. However I would not bother.

Yeah he told me that, then i explained my circumstances and by law i'm exempt from that, so my qld license has 5 years left on it, and i can pay rego over the internet. (no roadworthy needed unless changing owner)

That's cool!

I didn't know that there were grounds for an exemption!

Is there a list explaining what these grounds are?

Congrats!

I also find this hard to believe... but like pod filters, I'm going to assume that no one ACTUALLY knows the answer

Also, I'm assuming further that you are keeping your listed address as the on in Qld? meaning that 'technically' you don't live here, hence the exception. :) amirite? :)

Ive heard mention of a law which mentions devices such as coolers which are outside plastic or meshed area of the car.. E.G Rx3 turbo with a huge cooler mounted infront of the metal with only a bumper bar (an actual single bar) covering the cooler.

This is a cheese grate for peds and a blender if in motion. u get the idea .. blood n guts etc...

I believe what he wanted to say was its protected from pedestrians.

I call shenanigans.

There is no excemtion for people moving to NSW to retain their interstate licence. The only excemptions are people who are not permanent residents of Australia, Military personnel etc. You are here for more than 3 months and you need a NSW licence as well as NSW registration.

See ROAD TRANSPORT (DRIVER LICENSING) REGULATION 2008 - REG 99

FMIC advice is also rubbish. You can have a FMIC if it complies to standards such as an IM240 emissions test and the structural integrity of the vehicle is not altered (eg engineeers report) Pod or any exposedd filters are also subject to emission testing.

You would apply for an excemption in NSW and be excempted as you owned the car interstate before the commencement of their HP vehicle scheme.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
