Hi guys,

Just wondering what they actually check when you goto vicroads to register your car? Will they check things such as how loud ur exhaust is?

I am going to get my car registered again but i can't remember what they actually check at vicroads. A while back i know it was a fairly quick process.

Thanks

yes it has. oh gosh, that easy!!!!! thanks heap!!! i didn't realise i didn't even need to bring the car, thats a huge relief.

sorry, one more question, if i were to sell the car to someone. would they then just bring the transfer papers with them and do the same thing? i was only going to register the car to sell it easier.

When the car is initally registered, they need to check engine/chassis numbers, to make sure that the details match what is on the roadworthy certificate, and what is on their database.

They can't do that without the car present. :D

You don't need to present the car for yearly registration renewal.

Yes, the roadworthy shows that the car complies with all safety regulations and is legal to be driven on the road.

VicRoads still need to check the engine number etc. if it's a new registration, or registration has previously been cancelled.

Sorry to bump up an old thread.

WHen reg. a car for the first time, does the car need to be stock when u take it to vicroads to be registered?

As my stagea will prolly have its aftermarket exhaust & wheels on, will they tell me l need the standard items back on, or will l be fine with just the RWC & all the applicable import/compliance forms.

yeah you should be fine.. unless they are tight they shouldn't actually test for roadworthiness as someone as said above.. Don't worry about bringing your car down to stock, just make sure you bring all your paperwork, and make sure it matches up. For example i got knocked back on registration the first time because on the RWC it didn't have RB20 written in front of the engine number, even thought it isn't actually part of the engine number.. So check that all the numbers in your documents match against each other.

The only thing that the people at vicroads checked when I had my car inspected was that the engine and chassis numbers from the car matched the numbers on the paperwork.

think your going under the sevs system so i dont know abt that, but when i got my 32gtst registered all i needed was my RWC certificate and other documents to pay stamp duty. like sky031 said, first time registration needs the car present. the dude i had at vic roads was a funny guy, he came out with one of them extendable lights on a pole thingi to check my engine number but the batteries died on him so he goes "ah fk that, just dont kill anyone on the road k" lolz

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
