Hi...... I have questions that I don't know where I can ask except here

1. If I have a car and I want it to respray, how much does it cost for foing it? For example, FC3S

2. according to 1), if i change its color, is it hard to tell the officer for changing the new color and how much does it cost for telling the change???

3. If I go to a garage and tell them to change its engine to a new one, is it hard to tell the change to officer? My friend told me that it is very hard because there have to be an engineer who garuntee the engine change and etc. and how much does it cost for the change????

4. How much does it cost for RWC and rego, if the car hasn't registered????

Thank you very much.

lol @ r34gtt-R abo bob for both being a wiseass..

1 & 2 - There is no paperwork to get the car resprayed or colour changed, so you can just go ahead and do that.

3. if the engine is a DIFFERENT type totally to the old one (say RB26DETT engine off a GTR) then you will need to get it fully engineered which can cost a bit. If its the SAME engine you can just pop it in, however you'll probably want to transfer the engine number to it, so both the plate and the engine number match. Vicroads can probably do that.

4. If the car hasn't been registed or is unregisted .. Vicroads needs to inspect the car before it will be registered again, and they're pretty strict about it (more than a garage) so NO modifications. A RWC is about $70, but that is just the cerficate itself if everything passes. If it don't, you gotta go get it all fixed up. After that you just pay the normal rego (i think) which is $520 or something.

This means......

If I change the color from white to grey........I can freely do it.

If I wanna change the engine , for example, RB20DET -> RB25DET/RB26DETT or 13B -> 13BT, I have to get it engineered (or not ?? :blah: ?? ).

I'm just a bit newbie of this things.......Thanks for helping me.

yup..

[2] AkEaKe, i think what you're asking is if you have to inform vic roads if u respray the car a different colour? thinking about it logically, yes, you would because when you first register a car i think you have to let them know what colour it is. if this is changed its important for identification purposes to let the "officer" (vic roads) know about it. that said i doubt many people tell vic roads

[4] stamp duty is payable at the rate of $8 for every $200 or part thereof (from memory). for my R33 GTS i piad $1025 this included one years rego + stamp duty.

I had my car resparyed factory black with a blue pearl for $1200 :) mates rates tho :(

I can put you onto this mate of mine who should be able to do it for about $1800-2200 depending on how much labours involved. PM if your interested.

Ahh bayside blue, yes he can do any colour. He just needs the paint code. What colour is your car atm? I can only assume that big $$$$$ are involved with changing the colour completely (ie going from wine to TV2) because of the extra work involved.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
