Hi Everyone,

I'm relocating from SA to Springfield Lakes. Can you help me with a suggestion of where I should go for a RWC and mod plate?

In another thread I was told my car looked low and that the cops would pull me up straight away. I believe my car is standard height and it's the illusion of the kit that give it the appearance of being low.

Here are the photos I took for the transport company

I can get 2 fingers in between the tires and guard front and rear. Is it too low?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

space between guards and tyres is not an issue, as long as the lowest point of your car (including the exhaust just near the diff) is above 100mm

What parts of the car need to be mod plated?

Everything is above 100mm (when checked on level ground)

I have no idea what needs mod plating (because I'm not familiar with your regulations)

My list of mod are:

Secured Apexi pod (not in a box)

z32 AFM

hard suction kit

T04 Turbo

Stainless ext. manifold

Turbo back ext. with hi flow cat etc. Not loud

Manual boost controller (22psi)

FMIC (metal was cut to accommodate the piping to the throttle body)

After market BOV that is 100% recirculating

Q45 Throttle body

Freddy forward facing intake manifold

1000cc injectors

Top feed fuel rail

Turbo smart FPR

Walbro pump

RB20DET ECU with nistune, running E85

permanent wideband lambda, boost, temp gauges to DLP-I08 and Consult

I think that's about it

You will need a mod plate for the turbo at the very least and the hole for the FMIC will probably need to be certed as well, as for the rest I'm not sure. The reo being cut will be a defect if it is found and can't be mod plated.

I know of a mobile mod plate guy on the northside but I'm not sure how far he roams to plate cars. As everyone said keep your SA rego until you have everything up to scratch.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
