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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
