If its outta rego for more than 12 months then you need an inspection before renewing the rego. You can get it inspected anywhere. (10% of all inspections are recalled to Dickson at random, kind of a quality check of the inspector)

^^^ As above.

HOWEVER!!!

Last I heard the loophole on the rego.act.gov.au website still worked whereby it advises you that vehicles that have lapsed rego for more than 12 months require a RWC, yet will still allow you to renew it. lol. Give that a shot first if this is the case.

Hey Taylor, seeing as you seem to know alot about rego i thought id ask something i have been wondering. On the rego act site it mentioned imported vehicles needing to go through dickson anyway. Im assuming that this is purely for fresh imports that have been complied not registered? I havnt ever had trouble regestering anything but just thought id ask.

I took the silvia today. Failed on tint being too dark on the LHR quarter glass and headlights aimed too high. I went around the corner and stripped the tint off then went to find someone to re-aim my headlights. Tried a good dozen places in dickson, braddon and Mitchell and the only place that wasnt too busy to help out was jap spec garage, and they were the only ones not equipped to do it lol They helped me out though and told me how to do it in my garage so I went home and aimed them.

Took the car straight back to dickson (didn't have to rebook) and those two items were ticked off, but some time during the day a tennis-ball sized hole blew in the bottom of my muffler :( so I got failed again.

Round 3 tomorrow.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
