The Epa Thread/Roadworthy Thread

[tss]

can someone get me the mailing address of EPA, so I can send in my letter, or if it would be better to call them, the number to call them at. Now, I won't be able to read their reply, and I doubt they're willing to send the reply to my address in Singapore, so how do i know i have an extension?

depends who does it, i'm not referring to a dodgy either but some look harder than others some of those things wont get picked up but some will for sure. I'd say RACV buyer checks are harsher than RWC checks.

cost will depend if you fix it, or you pay someone else to do it all.

Not necessarily. RWC loose their license if they miss something, which is very hard to get back. RACV will do the checks but wont have to fix it, so they just raise everything which may not be a problem.

It wont get passed the RWC.

I reckon you might be up for around $400 to $1000 including parts and labour.

A windscreen is about $250 to $500 including labour these days. Gearbox out is a pain so there's a bit of labor there.

[R31Nismoid]

Windscreen's are cheaper than $250, im sure of it.

I'll find out how much my HR31 was recently, and the GTR. I dont rememeber em being too much.

Either way, that list, workshop doing it $600 at least

[i2icho]

Ok well just back from mechanics and he said his going to try keep it under 1k. His changing the windscreen also fixing exhaust which has cracked, also found a leak on lh shocker, pretty much the list was a page long ...also light on spoiler is out and he said there needs to bea break light at eye level, seems strange that as long as I have had it has never worked....

Looks like I'll be lucky to get out under a grand, which really sucks

[R31Nismoid]

Well it sucks yes, but these are the hidden costs/maintenance that people don't think exists.

ALL cars cost money to run and its not just petrol and general servicing. Plus they are 15yrs old. I'm not at all surprised that stuff is on the list. The RWC for the GTR i recently purchased was 4 figures as well without a worry.

[Astro Bear]

So I got screwed by the Po-Po, can't really blame em, I was in the wrong. Gotta take the car into Macleod EPA vehicle inspection station once I've taken out the safc, ebc and 3inch exhaust. Anyone know how much the Macleod test costs?

[Astro Bear]

Also, this is the second time the car will have gone in for a full inspection, the first time being a year or two ago at the Hoppers Crossing inspection centre.

I told the EPA guy who checked over the car last night that I had only ever gone in for a noise check only, he told me that in addition to going to Macleod, I'd get a formal warning in the post from EPA. When they look at their records and see that this is the second time I will have gone in for a full emission test, do you reckon they would send me a fine instead of a warning?

I'm just a little nervous about it, given that I'm saving up for an overseas trip in July and I've heard the fine is about $600ish.

[alr33x]

fine is unikely, dont think you have to pay to go to mcleod as thats the epa site you just gotta make sure ya car is 100% before it goes in.

who said they are sending you the popo??

[Astro Bear]

There was a mobile EPA guy there at the blitz who told me a warning would be sent in the mail. In selling the car soon anyway so it's not the end the world.

[Turboterrorist]

Does anyone know when all the rule changes occured (years)? i.e. the rules changed in 1989, and there are different rules for pre-1949 cars. I've read already on this thread that 1983 is another year. What are the rest?

Also, what are the restrictions? What can you do to a 240Z that you can't do to a 300ZX (just an example)?

Read the 3rd post.

It has a link to the documentation. Sorry but I'm not going to give you the answer when it's clearly provided like that.
