they only take photos of the egine baby and dash with ign on(all lights up)

and under the car from the front.. mine was done at holden when i got this 200.

The pics dont go to Vic roads, only if you get a defect within 30days. Vicroads will only THEN ask for the pictures from the RWC issuer to see how it compares to what they took

He said no photos of engine bay. Just underneath, with 1 wheels off and dash... He made a point about the Hicas and airbag lights cos they flash etc.

RWC checklist:

Remove 2-way diff - Really?

Re-install Hicas - I should have one around somewhere.

Front tie rod ends - Bursons TE926-14

Raise about 1 inch

Re-install steering wheel

Remove exhaust and change - Really?

Change rims

Front fog light not working... I need s2 fog lights if anyone has them. 4 door fog lights seems to be a sealed light.

Take the cluster out, very easy and remove the blubs.

i guess different reasons for a roady mean different pictures..

i took mine for a legit roady to find if there was genuinly something wrong with the car, then he took it for a dodge viper2000.. nice car those are.

pics of bay, dash, and under car from the front.

only because pod, FMIC and s15 Steering wheel..cant see the hicas lock bar from the front in mine, ide assume the same for you.(mines a 34GTR rear diff..

Fark dude you got RWC raped :(

Definitely take the cluster out and pull the bulbs man, it'll be easier than refitting and you'll also need to never worry about it again :)

You shouldnt need to change the diff, thats farked :(

Lets have a working bee to help Billy to the SAU Nats lol

I'm fairly sure exhaust shouldn't need changing for RWC. Always thought it's fine as long it's secured properly and EGT sensor attached, and exhaust noise is EPA related or RW/Vicroads like to screw us lot?

That brings me to a story; Last December i bought a 32 GTR, seller said he had to put stock exhaust in cos the Apexi N1 is too loud to pass RWC, That being said, the system consists of 3" Y pipe, de-cat and stock catback. He then swapped back before I got the car.

I did! I might be changing the diff on Friday night with a mate... I hope.

Sunday working bee anyone? haha

yeh they do have to pass noise to pass a RWC.. but only at the discretion of the RWC issuer.. nothing to do with EPA

What?!

is it 90dB as per EPA or?

Victoria is now a very homosexual state...

Getting Hicas and stock catback from alex.

I was amazed at having to change the diff!! so annoying....

Im just getting the KKR adjustable pillowball tie rod ends

I might have a stock S2 diff you can borrow. Will check tonight.

I would just tell the guy you got the diff reconditioned and it clunks because it is yet to wear in, at least that is what the diff place told you....

as i said, whatever the RWC tester considers quiet.

Straight pipes dont help

lol well yeh

doesnt make sense though seeing as the stock is over EPA limit anyway..

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
