I went in showed my receipt and filled out a quick form then drove around to the inspection bay and had the engine number viewed... too easy and as Daz would say "Happy Days"
The girl at Vic Roads was talking to me for ages and was even showing me pics of her boyfriends GU and GQ....
Yeah sweet :)
Bit of GQ flirting!! - Gotta love it (lets forget about the GU)
Welcome to the forum buddy!Quote:

I'd be taking it off and making it look as stock as possible if I were you...pita yep!
I still have the original manifold if you want it.
Finally we can be friends!Quote:

Im pretty sure you'll be right, it looks like a reputable kit. Sure it would be all good unless you got a jerk of an assessor. Just dont rev it too hard when you drive in!!Quote:

Micheal you wont have any trouble bud.
Its not a rwc its just a viewing of the engine numbers.. The dts kit is a tidy bit of gear and not out of place.
The girl who did my paperwork said the things not lifted off its head so high that she cant get into the engine bay to see the numbers... ha ha ha
Famous last words..there are some real assholes at the one at burwood I know that.Quote:

For the sake of a few hours though to convert back to NA if you can do it easily then I would do it.
If its a monumental nightmare then do the gauntlet.
Looks fantastic mate, really well done. You'll love it even more once it's turboed. Have you put much thought into what turbo kit you'll run?Quote:

Well kids this is why I went NA first then after its official I fit the turbo.... much easier and less stress.
I feel like getting drunk and celebrating but I have a massage booked with Nathan who will need my buttocks!!!!!!
You should be right mate, I'm always paranoid.Quote:

Started general convo with the bloke, it was raining though and he just wanted to be back inside in his warm office so it was a perfect situation!

Basically Vicroads had misspelt a letter in my engine number from its first registration in 1990 and they only picked up on it when I tried to do a simple transfer and it had to come in to the pits.
There's a thread here somewhere about it.
I remember now, they thought it was a filthy petrol! Haha
I quick you forget young grasshopper.... when I met you had a EFI Patrol mate.... dont forget your routes !!!Quote:

Not the td42 Mark but the GQ did not come with a turbo.
So tempted to take the car out today but I have to be a good boy and get back into the Bluebird... One thing I will need to sort is the aircon, I dont have the proper lines and the efi ones hit the alternator.
I cannot go without aircon and the family will not want to go away on trips if it is not working so if anyone knows of or comes across aircon lines let me know please.
Can you please send me a picture of the aircon line ends?
I have 3 compressors and 2 that I know are good that have completely different fittings... the efi one the lines clamp down together but the other one has independent lines threaded in.. I will get a photo later.
Rossco has just got air con all plumbed up on his car
Import safaris are Turboed :p.Quote:

And as I said the DTS kit looks factory and they staff at Bundoora would be none the wiser...I dont see any problems.Quote:

I had all engine bay orings changed, new receiver dryer, new compressor to firewall and compressor to condensor lines made and a regas/leak test for $421.
Exhaust question... 3 inch straight through... hot dog... muffler.... ????
Whats the best option?
