Just get your car roadworthied and make an appointment at your local VicRoads office.

Take the roadworthy in to the appointment. You may need to have someone at VicRoads look at you car (I didn't, but my mate did).

My car was previously registered in NSW, but my mates was not registered at all.

If that is all I needed for a car that was not even on Redbook or Glasses at the time, I am pretty damn sure that your '33 will be fine.

Fyi, my car went to VicRoads in Dandenong and my mates M35 was done at the Frankston office.

Got the appointment but I need to get it roadworthied by someone. I rang kmart tyre and auto and they don't do imports. I need to find someone around the kensington/flemington/north melbourne area that will give me a roadworthy certificate. My car is stock accept for a pod filter so I don't anticipate any real issues and I had it fully checked out by a mechaninc before I drove over.

Names and numbers would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Go to a smaller mechanic.

Most will do a roadworthy.

Forget larger chains, they have too many cars and not enough time to spend on something "different".

I had my RWC done in Pakenham... They ONLY deal with Falcodores... But also build large capacity drag cars.

They did not even know that the Stagea (any model) existed and only thought that a Skyline was either a R31 or "Godzilla".

EDIT: Forgot to mention, if your pod is uncovered, it won't get passed. Put the stock box back on for your RWC.... unless you find a mech that will overlook it (doubtful).

Cheers guys,

I found a guy on Macauly rd that does inspections (silver repair serivce) and he doesn't care about the fitted pod filter. He's like, if I make you change it in front of me, what's to make you change it back 5 minutes after I have given you the certificate. So it looks all good.

Regards

Dan

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
