Registering Highly Modified Gtr

[GTRNUR]

Just Get QLD rego, send him to an engineer and get a mod plate. Why all the fuss? Technically you dont need a modplate until you get pinged by a cop anyway.

Or until you have a car accident and the modification is noticed. Then your property, 3rd party property, and CTP insurance becomes invalid and you spend the rest of your life riding a bus because every cent you earn goes to paying off your debt. If is above board you minimise your chances of having issues later.

A dodgy RWC could be obtained but that doesn't protect you down the road. All it allows you to do is bypass a step and allow you to get number plates on the car. Its still not legal.

RB25/30's I've seen in QLD Skylines all had mod plates. Its a general engine substitution code LA1. Any QLD workshop that does engine conversions of any kind can at least point you in the right direction. If your lucky they can even do the code for you.

Just curious, but can VIC transport defect a QLD registered and modification approved car?

What about aftermarket turbos? is there a issue with that?

Ive called a few placed in QLD and have secured a rwc agreement. The issue atm is sorting out a Mod Plate, just dont want to risk giving the car to the buyer then him running into issues in qld with the mod plate.

From my understanding, any vehicle with outer state state rego cannot be defected at all.

Ah right in that case I'd be giving Dan at ERD a call, pretty sure he can do mod plates and roadworthies. He's a top bloke and will be able to tell you exactly where you stand with every mod. Screamer and no cats won't fly though lol.

07 3807 2789 or [email protected] will get you in touch.

Shame you have to sell it, sounds like a weapon

Left a message, hopefully ill hear something soon. Yeh it sure is a shame ive had this car since high school. but gota move on at some point. Recently posted the final tune in the RB30 dyno results section. Check it out.

Exactly. I'm not saying the buyer should just drive it without it being engineered/approve/modplated. But your car is pretty much all normal for QLD so just sell it to him and direct him where to go to get it all sorted. But if you are the one that has to get it all sorted. Certainly shop around or even find a friend on here cause there's definitely a chance of being un-necessarily shafted by some workshop.

rb26/30 (must be mod plated)

intercooler holes under battery tray (may require a mod plate have an engineer inspect)

reo bar slightly modified for front bar (may be illegal have an engineer inspect)

3.5 straight pipe with muffler, no cats (highly illegal!! have some fitted)

screamer (highly illegal!! have it plumbed in)

u will find you'll prob need a mod plate for the non standard turbo as well. but check with an engineer.

I'd say he's working on VIC regs.

QLD Transport CAN and DO emission test you, see a recent thread in this section about it. My XF was also tested once, although I didn't get a defect or fine as it is not a skyline...

However, I've never heard of it having to be done for rego or a mod plate before.

EDIT: You only get away without a mod plate if that particular engine (RB30) was offered as a standard option for the model you are installing it in (R34). It wasn't, so you WILL need a mod plate.

Really?? i was talking to the people at qld transports modifications desk and they told me they dont do them at all and i'd need take the car interstate to have it done.

AFAIK Sydney is closest.

Qld laws are pretty basic, only things I've ever seen people need a mod plate for is engine conversion or to change the seating capacity.

I think what is complicating this excercise is the fact that im trying to do it down here in VIC.

will keep you guys posted on whats happening as im seeing another engingeer

AFAIK the word from QT is that if an intercooler hole is under 100mm and isnt in a place that can do damage then its fine by them. That was a reply someone got back from QT in regards to the topic posted on another forum. Dont get the reo checked over because it cant be mod plated and would cost a million dollars to fix and engineer. Everyone has their front reo missing.

[lilcrash]

Honestly I would just get an la1 mod plate and fix the exhaust and sell it to him.

When you find a legit engineer he will probably tell you the same.

[Jap_Muscle]

will do,

Thanks guys. Will check back on friday after ive spoken to the 2nd engineer

[lilcrash]

Any news???

[Jap_Muscle]

Sorry guys i completely forgot about this thread.

Sold the car a few weeks ago to a different buyer. Wanted to handle things himself so i just sold it to him as is. No mod plates no RWC no nothing! I guess he knew what he was doing. Sorry if i couldnt be more help guys.
