Thought id throw this up... Considering everywhere you talk to tells you shit differently. Anyone that has a question bang it here and someone may no the correct answer.

Mine is... If you buy a dieline or any import for that matter from interstate can you get RWC anywhere in the act or does it have to go to dickson? Also whats the rule with FMICs?

Cheers

When I moved from Perth to here my GTR was registered in WA. I took it to Ultimate Tunes, they did an inspection etc. I took the paperwork to Woden and had the plates swapped over that day.

Not sure about the FMIC.

hmm thats what i thought the go was but i was being told differently with the RWC... Interestink.

I believe it's *SUPPOSED* to go to Dickson, however if you get somewhere else to do the inspection then you should be fine. Mine didn't go over Dickson when i got the rego changed from QLD to ACT.

ACT gov website uses the words MUST go to Dickson in big bold print.

People have had interstate cars changed to act through normal inspectors and dickson...

I got one of my cars from nsw to act through a normal inspector.

As for fmic, the rule is if the car came with a fmic oem ie skylines and silvias etc they have a front facing intercooler outside the engine bay then you are allowed one as long as your intercooler piping and core has not required your reo or chasis cut to fit it, for skylines you can put your cold pipe through the floor pan as long as its not going to effect the structure of the plate under the washer bottle, or through the side just above the chasis rail providing there is still metal attached to the rail (a inch is enough above it)

Hope it helps

It's definently a nice car, but I don't just wanna make an impulse purchase. It's under consideration for sure, but I'm still keeping my options open because I'm in no hurry.

have you had a peak at it? its a very nice example of an evo!

      Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Spearzy999 · Posted

      Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.

      I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?

      Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
