I don't know what a blue slip is but it's a more comprehensive pink slip right?

Normally to register a car you need to get a pink slip (check the car is roadworthy) and green slip (3rd party insurance). Only then can you go to the RTA and register the car.

P.S. make sure you bring your pink slip and green slip when you go to the RTA.

You need to take your car to an RTA authorised unregistered car inspection station (Check RTA for nearest one) - There's one in Fairfield.

Then you need to take the Blue Slip (the inspection station will give this to you) to the RTA with all the other Import Doco. The RTA probablly won't register the car 100% as you will most likely need an RTA identification inspection (checks for rebirthing). Ask for an interim rego sticker & plates.

THen you'll most likely need to take the car to the RTA for the identification inspection. Take all paperwork. You will need to get an RTA office to book an appointment (2-3 weeks wait) They will then give you a security sealed envelope (pass/fail) - Take this to an RTA office along with ALL your paperwork. Hopefully if everything is OK they will issue you with your full rego .

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Make sure the blue slip has the section regarding the engineering paperwork checked. My mate got a blue slip for his import but they failed to fill out the engineering paperwork section and he had to go back. When the queue in the RTA is very long this can really get you mad.....

Blue slip is not the piece of paper that the RTA sends you with the sticker on it. That is blue but not a blue slip. A blue slip is a comprehenive check (apparently) of the car and all paper work when your vehicle is unregistered or been out out of rego for longer than 3 months.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
