Just went to register my 2004 350gt (70th Year edition). Everything went great, until we noticed the Vin number being riveted on the chassis instead of stamped.

Damn you QLD and your lacks laws, now that puts me a week behind.

Vicroads did suggest a place in Sunshine to have it done, but can anyone suggest a place from experience.

Thank you,

The VIN is stamped, just not the whole oversized number that Australia gives. It's on the firewall behind the motor, still easily visible. Crazy pedantic rules, different in every state probably.

Vic needs imports to be stamped? wut? I've never owned an import with the compliance vin stamped on the chassis. My car has a plate on the strut tower you can't even see with a strut bar installed and my parts car has a plate riveted to the radiator support.

I bought mine from VIC and the full VIN is stamped on the strut tower.. but I think it is excessive the vicroads requires it stamped.. Why is a rivited plate ok for an Aust. deilvered car, but not good enough for an import?? who knows.. some policy maker probably trying to justify their job.!

I lose my $40 booking fee as well so i'm kind of annoyed. They rang there "top" import guy who wasn't working that day and he confirmed that it must be stamped with the full Vin number. I rang the place that did my roadworthy and they'd never heard of the law either, as the first 6 characters are merely added to meet the 17 character Vin number requirement, the firewall still shows the correct 11 characters.

Discovered the same thing recently when I went to rego my car.

Lucky mine had it stamped on the chassis:

Was warned about this by Vic Roads when I made the inspection appointment with them.

When I got my Roadworthy done I asked the Repco mechanics if they could stamp the number into the body, when they did the roady and they did it for free... They had the stamps and apparently took them about 2 minutes...

Stupid state based registration rules...

i bet the seat warmers come in handy in Vic - had 70th Anniversary in Qld, never really got to use the feature :)

Nice car by the way, have not seen many V35 in that colour. - looks like R34 GTR Bayside Blue colour.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
