I'm on the hunt for a track/drift car at the moment but want it to be road registered so if I need to I can drive it around town or to the track or whatever.

Some things I'm not clear on, and I hope someone else can enlighten me, if a car is reg'd in another state that can't be transferred into Vic can it? My understanding is you can cash in that rego and then you have to get a full new rego in Vic? Is that right? Also if a vehicle has a current RWC in another state, is it valid in Vic?

The last gray area for me is engineers certificates, as plenty of the cars I'm looking at have had mods or different engines put in. Is an an engineers certificate from another state valid in Vic?

Thanks guys, don't wanna roll up to Vic roads and be told I can't reg the car is all.

Cheers

Ash will no doubt be the fountain of knowledge on this but as far as I'm concerned as long as the engineer concerned is a registered engineer able to sign off on automotive modifications the certificate should be valid.

Why not contact Vicroads and ask?

Give me time - one mod issue at a time :D

The car vs VASS engineers vs VicRoads - all depends.

Depends on the car, level of modification and so on. One key issue is exhaust noise - mine was checked as part of a VASS Engineers Cert - a drifter isnt going to be quiet so you'll have issues there no doubt.

Also a RWC will be hard to get for modified cars. Lots of 'usual' RWC places wont touch highly modded cars simply because they are run of the mill mechanics that dont know anything. They dont want to spend the time reading the VSI's (Vehicle Standards Information) and so on, and as they are signing off on the car, they are not willing to put thier license to the test.

If you could tell the car, mods and so on... then that makes life a lot easier.

Basically a dedicated drifter is going to be near on impossible to get registered unless you do it dodgy, and then you bring another can of worms into it if you happen to get pulled over etc.

OK Thanks heaps for the info.

I've been focusing on cars with minimal mods and that are already road worthy and reg'd to make things easier but we'll see how we go.

I think for simplicity I'll also stick to Vic cars unless a mega deal pops up.

Forgot to mention: I've stopped looking at hard core drift cars and been watching mild modded road cars instead as I suspect I'll have less hassle with these.

Nah I'm after something I can drive on the street too if the need arises but that I can still have fun at the track with and slide a bit. I'm not out to win comps or anything just have some fun and tie me over til I buy a 34 GT-R in a year or two. Just sick of rolling my daily with nothing fun to play with =\

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
