Basic rule of thumb is that a garage can give you a pink slip for anything, but Police can still defect you for whatever was passed by that garage (eg. dark tint).

Some places are stricter than others.

One thing is for sure, they do NOT test for emissions, or sound. So exhaust and pod are fine.

Wheels and springs are fine...unless your wheels/tires are constantly scrubbing the guards.

Height: my car's have never been checked. I use to drive an Integra that was lower than legal (stupidly low). Seven years of owning that car and I didn't once have a problem with getting a pink slip for it.

Boost controller: I don't think most local service station garage's would even think to look for one, or even know what one was if they saw it.

Tint: Any car built after a certain date (I think it was August 1992 or something) has to be checked by them for the darkness of the tint. If the car was built before this date they are not required to check the tint at all, so you can get away with having 5% tint. (Remember, they can pass it, but the cops can still defect you for it).

wil..

P.S. This only applies to NSW. Not sure what it's like in other states.

P.P.S. Sxcsky I think I've seen your car. Shepherd's Drive, Cherrybrook ring a bell?

Unfortunately with imports, I would not chance your corner garage unless you know them and they will 'set you up the bomb'.

It's not really legal but the friend I take it do doesn't bother to drive the car or test brakes. He makes me fill out the VIN and rego and I pays my $30 and I get my pink slip.

He didn't want to test my brakes because it's a 'waste of time using his accelerometer to run a car with four pot pistons, 300mm discs and racing pads'.

I don't waste his time with bald tyres or bad lights. It's a nice relationship :)

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
