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

Don't know for sure... I hear the voices now "Never Assume"

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 =\

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
