A mate of mine today went to get RWC for his car and he failed because there was like a tiney amount of rust on the front and rear passenger door. Were talking like 5c coin sizes. I was just wondering why does rust fail the RWC, I dont see how it effects the vehicle on the Road and when I did my RWC a couple of days ago I dont recall seing a box that said anything about rust.

So any info would be great on this because I'm also looking at buying another car and the guy said it has some minor rust.

Cheers,

Aleks

There is a way though... if he doesnt want to properly fix the rust right now just use bog and spray paint it so no visible rust = RWC

Happened to me ages ago and was told as long as there's no visible rust should be fine for RWC

Your last three threads in the QLD section...

Just putting it out there... Soz but I cant hold it in anymore...

(edit) change that to last four threads...

Whats wrong with them, I need information. And they are not all related. I know I asked for a RWC and now the rust issue, but its not related its for two separate vehicles. 1 car I have now (thats the one that went for the RWC), The other is owned by a friend and then when I went to look at another car to buy as project it had some rust on it, and my mate was telling me that his one failed the road worthy because it had rust, so I just wanted to check what the rules are around that area. The car I was looking at wasn't registered so I presumed it would need to be towed, but apparently you can get a on day rego.

So tell me o wise one what is so retarded about my posts? We cant all be smart like you COL and build 300KW monsters and know everything about everything and every rule and towing company in QLD. So sorry if my posts were retarded to you.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
