Yeah... I'm scared.

Looks like its 1.5hrs on pt each way...

so hurry up and get it cleared.

if i'm not wrong, you can call vicroads for an extension.

Its $704 fml, didn't get pulled over thought, it was a camera? so it went to the registered owner

Car was defected and had suspended reg btw

Ah the Hume Camera's have been on since Aug, so probably caught speeding then come processing time - system realises it was suspended.

That is amusing failboat at it's best

[Sunkist]

lol... you want past experience?

Wait until the officer drives off and then pull the defect sticker off right away OR as soon as you get home.

Then just sticky tape it on once it dries (or just wipe the glue off and tape it on). It's only illegal to not display it... Says nothing about taking it off and immediately re-affixing so it's not a massive pain in the ass later!

That's true experience for ya

Lol I did this, except in front of the cop, I had tape with me and he said its fine lol

[jukic.j]

Still looking to borrow a stock catback or something to get me to pass EPA for R33. Alvin let me borrow a stock 33 muffler but I have nothing from cat to muffler at this point. Drop me a pm if you can help

[xALmoN]

called hillside exhausts yet?

[gtsttrk]

Hey mate is it for a GTST or GTR?

[jukic.j]

Yeh went into hillside after finding it lol that moved back from burwood hwy. They can't fit me in soon is the problem. Email and rang EPA for extension but I just would rather get it cleared asap.

It's for an R33 GTST out of curiosity what difference does that make? different hangars or something for exhaust?

[gtsttrk]

I believe it's that hangers/points where it attaches that are different, but I could be wrong about this. I have a 33gtst full stock exhaust you could possibly borrow mate?

[Miguelone]

Hanger points are the same gtst to gtr. Only difficulty you may find is trying to fit a gtst specific exhaust onto a gtr because as we have found out trying to put my super drager onto grants R the curve of the rear section isn't designed to clear the subframe brace so it fouls against it.

[Odium]

Ahhhh so thats why the Super Drager ended up on Matt's car?

[Count Grantleyish]

Yes

34/33 (non gtr) have the same 4 hanger points.

just some minor differences in the muffler and pipe itself.

[gtsttrk]

Ah true bro. I stand corrected

Yup came with a speeding fine too. whatta fail

[Borci88]

Lol I did this, except in front of the cop, I had tape with me and he said its fine lol

Asked Pettett this, he said don't touch it or he'll fine me for tampering with it,

[R31Nismoid]

^ what he told is, is the law.

Get over it really (your posted edited as there is no need for that)

[Dan_J]

now i've got question which i cant seem to get a straight answer for.

can i notch castor rod mounts ( think of s13 ones, they bolt up to the rad support and chassis rails under the engine bay) as in cut a section out and weld in a bit of thick angle or C channel to clear something ?

kinda like this

Simple answer:

NO!

[R31Nismoid]

lol Nik, love it - and i do agree given the "level of effort" factor.

Slightly not so simple answer:

No - without VASS approval.
Conditional Yes - with VASS approval (Engineers Cert) - but you MUST talk to them BEFORE doing it to understand their requirements.
