I know this has been asked and answered before, but not recently, so thought I would try and get some up to date info.

My son just bought a black 97 R33 GTS-T privately from Sydney, so we need to get the rego transferred into the ACT.

It's pretty much standard apart from window tint, pod filter and exhaust. Stock airbox came with it, so that will go back on before the inspection. Not sure about the window tint, it's pretty dark.

Anyways, my question is - has anybody bought in a privately sold interstate car recently and NOT had to go through the butt-hurt that is Dickson? I know a few years back that was the only option, but not sure if it's still the case.

And if you see a black 33 with stockies driving around and he doesn't wave back, tell me and i'll kick his arse :spank:

Took it to the guys in Lanyon (IIRC, you suggested it lol). Though I get the feeling they don't do rego inspections anymore....Mawson was also recommended to me, maybe give them a shot.

Even years ago when I transferred the rego on the GTR I never had to take it to Dickson.

Not sure what side of town you're on but I have had good experiences with Kaleen Service Centre. Also, shouldn't have to change the pod filter over as long as it's secured.

Rich, you do know that according to Japanese mythology the original Godzilla was a dinosaur? :nyaanyaa:

Thanks for the input folks, i'll suss out the local workshops. Does anyone know if the Identity Check stuff still has to be done, and if only Dickson can do that?

Only if it's under 5 years old I believe

hey mate if its transfering from interstate from private sale and LESS than 10 years old it needs a rego check AND an ID check at dickson.

given that its a 97 model then its older than 10 years so it just needs a run of the mill road worthy cert.

Im an ACT inspector so if you want a rego check PM me. cheers

I've been told different things... I gave mine to my mechanic, fluttered my eyelashes, smiled nicely and said you know how I am super nice to you and stuff well please sort it, and it all magically happened... I than sweet talked the people at the shop front so they didn't pay any attention to anything other than handing me plates (just to be safe) lol... I was told it needs to go to Dickson because it is an import than told only if it is modified but not considered "owner modified" so best is have a chat to some of the ACT rego guys (like RS4-S) and say ahhh yeah can you pass this yay/nay... :)

Needless to say I am all out of sweetness but have ACT rego woot...Good luck! And good to see you have another one for the collection, hope he wasn't planning on GTR rims lol whistling.gif

Yeah, he kind of missed out on the GTR wheels hey. :yes:

I believe he has it booked into Bridgestone at Phillip tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. He's at work tonight, so I have just been down replacing the pod with a standard airbox etc. Bloody RB25's :P

Dude from Lanyon: Wasn't too low was it?

Me: Nah

Dude: Was it loud?

Me: Nah not really

Dude: hmm, I'll have to check the tint though... (unfortunately it failed this @ 5% lol, easy enough fix)

Dude: What's this for? Control boost? (pointing at bleed valve)

Me: yep, replaces that (points at stock solenoid)

Dude: cool cool.

Sounds like the dude out at fyshwick that did the rego inspection on my KTM, I didn't even take it off the back of the ute.

And the bloke that did my driving test up in Qld.

"Hey, you're not Bill's lad are you?"

"Yep"

"I remember him, he used to coach my footy team in monto, was mates with mal meninga's dad norm blah,blah,blah"

"what do you want me to do?"

"um, just drive around the block a couple of times blah,blah,blah"

"here's your licence"

"thanks"

All done, just had to rip the window tint off and replace the back shocks.

Now he just needs to go down and empty his wallet on the Govco shopfront counter.

Thanks for the help everyone! :action-smiley-069:

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
