i saw a new holden wraped in vicroads stickers, whats up with them, do they have the right to pull you over ect..?

They only pull over trucks.

I would say the main cause for it is the commonwealth games around the corner in an attempt to get all the rubbish off the roads.

Sticking a yellow sticker on a car and getting their $165 out of you does nothing to get any cars off the road.

it does if you don't have the shit fixed in the couple of weeks they give you.

Funky we all know most roadworthy places laugh at anything cops put down on a canary and vicroads dont give 2 shits and dont even look at ur car when you go to clear it!!!

Been there done that with 2 different cars!!

Long as the vic government get their $165 fine payment is all they care about

lay low.. wait to the commonwealth games are on.. and take over the suburbs whilst the cops are busy :( free run...

Wouldn't suprise me its a move to scare people off before the commonwealth games. They did that sort of thing in Sydney as well when those games were on.

Yeah well there certainly around, saw quite a few people being busted in Preston today. Another big defect station is outside the Fawkner Cemetery On Sydney Road.

Its just getting to me that ive gotta worry about this shit when I drive my car. I keep my car legal yet you still get pulled over.

Thing is most of the time Im driving my Camry and Its not a problem. I dont want to get rid of my car. Might have to get a Japanese Import Camry :(

i didnt get a "badge of honour" (yellow defect sticker) on my windscreen.... and i didnt get a fine neither......

but i got a defect notice given to me....

should i have been given a yellow defect sticker???

depends if the "roadworthy" box is ticked. if its not than you dont need to get a RWC, just fix it urself and take it to Vicroads

but u're not allowed to remove those stickers tho... what a shame.... but thanks for the offer!

Its almost falling off. If it falls off im not touching it because im not allowed to :)

lol i had a delivery right around the corner in my truck and couldnt be bothered getting stopped of held up in traffic for 30 minutes, so i detoured for 30minutes, but at least i was still driving

    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
    • Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
