hahahha yeah took it back, the asian lady that served me was so confused. I kept asking to see her manager and she kept going "what for?" eventually the branch manager overheard and came towards me and apologised with the other plate in her hand.

On the rego sticker it has the the rear plate as being correct. I'm going to see those idiots on Saturday morning to get it sorted. Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to charge me a fee for new plates. Watch me rage lol

aww if it was front plate u would have been gold

I'd leave them on for sure, Let the RTA deal with it.

bloddy useless bunch, Everytime i call a government body, Actaully anyone, I call 3 times minimum with the same question, You will find 90% of the time you get 3 diffrent answers and procedures to complete something.

Call the RTA and tell them how you go about rego/ blue slip for a car thats had rego laspe and a engine conversion in the meantime.

Now thats what i call confussing, especailly when they transfer you to the " tenchincal team" who i was told deal with engine conversions ect every day.

They just read out a list of RTA approved mechanics

sorry, RMS.......still a useless bunch

I went to get a defect cleared on my cousins Volvo last week, the rego lapsed and the lady said that when the rego lapses the defect clears. She said it in such a tone too, as if I was an idiot for not knowing. I had to spend 5 mins convincing her that the defect was still applicable.

Where do they find these stupid, ill-tempered people to work at the RTA?

It all comes down to the fact that there's so much red tape in government bodies, that people can do whatever they like and will never be sacked.

Core hours of 10 to 3pm, countless coffee breaks, flexi time, tea money, you name it they've got it.

And I know all this cause my crazy ex is a government employee! :closedeyes:

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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
