Hi guys,

Quick Q, Just sold the skyline, and thinkin of buyin a NSW RX7 FD and registering in VIC, and its got a few mods as above,

Cat back exhaust, a CF intake pipe thingo, aftermarket SMIC, and power fc.

Do/should i need to take these all off before getting RWC? hopefully i'll be getting the stock parts but unsure atm..

i guess taking off the hand controller should be enough for the PFC.. but all the other bits?

i guess it depends on the place, but do most RWC places ping u for mods?

SMIC is fine as long as it doesn't have a pod filter as well. One induction mod, however, you'd be hard pressed to find a mechanic that knows enough to not pass it.

Power FC, should be able to go under the radar also.

As for the induction pipe, you'd have to have a pretty cluey mechanic to pick you up on it.

Exhaust should be fine as long it's not stupidly loud.

All the best.

^^ pretty much on the money.

Some do actually check for ECU, but most run of the mill RWC places simply will not be up with every model and so on so they don't go searching for it so ensure its behind the kick panel and you'll be perfectly ok in that way.

But ye, a super loud exhaust maybe, sometimes they will pick bonnets and so on which again is fair enough given their size/obviousness

    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and thank you brother πŸ™πŸΌ jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! πŸ˜… every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts.

    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
