hi guys,

just a quick one. Someone from ACT called me this morning about the car and asked if i could get a road worthy certificate, i said that's fine but I was under the impression that if the car went interstate, a VIC RWC is not actually going to mean anything?? Wouldn't it have to get the equivalent for whatever state/territory it's going to?

cheers,

daniel

yeah the vic one won't mean anything other than it was found to be roadworthy in victoria....it still requires an ACT roadworthy certificate, which is *supposed* to be issues by the RTA place here given that it's an import and modified...any buyers in the ACT will be hard pressed to get your car registered here, unless they know someone who can do a roadworthy certificate....even then it won't be legal as such, but may still get it registered.

I almost considered your car on that note :) if I didn't already have a 33

If they're changing rego they really need both.

When i bought my supra from VIC i had to take to the government shopfront all the VIC roads crap + a ACT road worthy certificate. the certificate only needs to come from an approved certifier, not just Dickson.

Mine had no issue it was very much stock at the time. If its fairly modified then it'll probably end up at Dickson, unless he can beg a place to do it. When going to Dickson make sure they tighten their butt cheeks as it wont be pretty.

I was under the impression that ALL imports and ALL modified cars must go to dickson. If it was just interstate, but neither of the previous, it'd be fine to go wherever...

I got mine passed at Lanyon, but it's stock enough that the dude didn't really care. Only knocked me back on tint (5%) which was fair enough, and then the shopfront only wanted ACT roadworthy+QLD rego papers.

Correct. I bought my R34 from VIC and the guy was going to get one but I said not to bother.

Maybe your buyer just wants to see if it can pass VIC rego to give him an idea of what he might get picked on with ACT rego (I know the rules are different).

haha yeah probably :verymad:

but if it passes a VIC roadworthy it might be in with a shot... VIC is supposedly more strict than us! You're not even allowed 2 intake mods there (ie, can't have a front mount AND a pod!)

i took mine to premier automotive in mitchell and they passed it no worries, it was stock at the time tho...

I been looking closely at your car there and it'll be awesome if it ends up in the ACT!!!! :verymad:

I know about the car doofus! I actually read about it on another forum in which he copped a pasting (Daniel will know what i mean :verymad: )

But it's registered in Vic right? So it's not "unregisterable"! All I'm saying is the potential owner might be investigating how hard it's going to be here.

haha, yeah you're right Pat :verymad: sad how a car's material value in no way reflects what it's worth on the market, else I'd be accurate in my offer :cool:

Definitely the absolute sexiest GT-T I've ever seen. Ever.

yeah, only 1 intake mod, that's why i put a return flow FMIC in so i can run the stock airbox with highflow filter.

would it be that hard to rego? it's definitely quiet enough, no hole cut FMIC (return flow), turbo looks stock, can't see injectors/pump/afm - nistune will read like a stock ecu when plugging in a consult, brakes lines are ADR - i guess the only thing possibly is height, but the suspension is adjustable so that's an easy fix. I don't know the ACT rules but i can't see there being any major problems?

they're just bilstein shocks with extra circlip grooves to adjust the height. It's not like you'd pop the bonnet and see something sticking out of the strut towers, so if you raised the car, i don't think you'd know they were adjustable in the typical sense.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
