for a Skyline, TECHNICALLY you have to take it to Dickson RTA, though I'll post up my results soon from taking mine elsewhere, lol...

no you dont... only if you have excessive mods. only reason i had to take my car over dickson was because of the coilovers, if i didnt have them then i could have gone anywhere to get it done

you only have to take a car to dickson if its modified. if it is bog standard any blue slip shop can do it. basically the only mods you can have if you take it anywhere other than dickson is an exhaust and a pod filter.

The RTA website listing approved inspection stations says that if it's modified or IMPORTED. Though this website is wrong for many things, so that could be incorrect.

But seeing as Skylines are imported, y'kno...oh well, I'll still post results when I take it to Lanyon next week.

  • 2 weeks later...

Had mine done at Lanyon, passed . Very happy with how easy it was, PM if you want to know any details about my car that were overlooked. Failed first round on tint (5% lol) and second round didn't even worry about looking, took my word that I got it removed I think. Good guy, obviously appreciates courtesy and respect.

Would recommend.

can someone clarify this?

i got R34 N/a (just muffler modfication), should i go to Dickson or just any regular inspection shops?

if i can go to any shops, i'll take off my coilovers, pass the inspection, get the rego, and install the coilovers again.

anyway, what details the look after? currently my car sounds like WRX (i dont know the problem yet), and i need to pass it asap as i use it to work everyday. is it a big deal?

thanks.

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
