Getting a modified r33 gtst roadworthy

[vxsr33]

Hi guys

Firstly this is in Melbourne.

I have a friend who is looking at buying a fairly modified r33 gtst s2 with around (supposedly) 280rwkw. The car is in excellent condition overall with no issues upon inspection.

The car has the following mods:

- fmic with hole cut

- forward facing plenum

- aftermarket low mount turbo

- 3 inch exhaust (not too loud but may be over legal)

- coilovers

+ more mods but these are the main ones.

The main issue is the seller doesn't want provide a rwc with the sale and would want to increase the price by around $1000 to provide one. His reasoning is that he reckons he will have to return most of the car to stock and doesnt want to go through the hassle.

Can a car with these mods get a roadworthy certificate, provided the car is clean, height is legal, no leaks, everything working as it should etc?

And does the hole cut out for the intercooler piping mean the car will never be roadworthy?

Thanks everyone

It will be very hard to get a rwc with those mods. The hole for the ic particularly (In Vic, an engineers certificate is required) , unless you know a mechanic who is lenient. I would either be paying the extra 1k to save myself the hassle or passing up on the car totally. If the car is real nice and you have to have it, just pay the extra $.

Yeah he decided not to buy it, too much of a headache getting it roadworthy and wasnt willing to pay the price with roady provided
