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

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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.

      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?
