They have ECU controlled values. Therefore they are legal.

Which is the bullshit part of the Victorian law - you can have a ECU controlled valve from the factory - but cant install one aftermarket...

Just to confirm - police can tick major and rwc for any defects yes? I was fairly sure it's completely discretionary, but just wanting to confirm.

It use to be that they needed to find 3 defects for it to be a major but i dont think that exists any more, either that or like a lot of other things they vic pol do they just ignore that and do what they like.

When i was defected they only picked 2 things and made it a major.

Yeh spot on and good luck saying you cant give me major cos it's not 3 things they'll find extras quick smart lol

He got me for 2 things without even opening anything (too low (he got under the car and measured) and bald rear tyres (camber wear)), even as he handed me the fine he pointed out that the steering wheel was illegal (momo race), if he had have had a look inside he would have found the boost controller and hand controller for the power fc, some times your just better off to cop it sweet cos it could get a lot worse!

Yeah I kept my mouth shut. Got done for too low, bald tyres, parker light out. He opened my bonnet but said nothing, guess he didn't know he was looking at 280rwkw lol

[alr33x]

lol to many chap laps Ey?

[HEKT1K]

Princes. I know it's lame but meh not like I'm complaining, I know it's a risk etc

[W0rp3D]

The cop walked around the front of mine and half bent over to look for the intercooler and then kept walking, i guess the ic painted black worked

[gwin]

To update, never got done. W00t. Cop was too lazy to do the paperwork. It's been er... 2 months

Apparently getting an EPA in the mail sometime soon after tonight... Manual boost controller, intercooler+pod and possibly exhaust, heres hoping i dont.

"It looks a bit low"

"....LOL its stock height"

"Yeah but what about the exhaust"

"....it's the same height as stock"

Meanwhile my cars parked in 25cm high grass..

[alr33x]

Have fun with that should have hidden the boost controller and Fk off the pod doesn't do jack anyway

[Borci88]

It's how I bought the car, I wouldn't be stupid enough to put it in plain sight where the previous owner has an would have kept the stock airbox but I suppose you always get caught out in that week where you say "I'll fix it tomorrow"

Hey guys just purchased a GTR from SA (yay) now I got it mechanically looked over everything is great apart from brake pads and discs needing to be replaced and just a few minor things..all of it im going to fix..i just need a leeniant rw tester just to transfer it to vic. So if anyone can help me out with someone they know please.

Thanks james

[MUZT3K]

sorry double post

[alr33x]

If it's stock just go anywhere.. Not really any 'lenient/dodgy' testers anymore

You should be ok if it's transferring to your name as opposed to clearing defects

Good luck

Mmm I know what you mean but after chasing a rwc to sell my last car..i took it to 3 different ppl and they all picked on different things literally

so just want to see if anyone here knows anyone.

Selling a car and transferring it into your name are different things, if you let them know your intentions they should be a bit less fussy as you will be driving it and it won't come back onto them for not being tough on the rwc.

[MUZT3K]

Fair enough..i might make a few calls tomorow and see what some work shops say if I let them know what needs fixing and that il be fixing it asap

[alr33x]

Best bet is make everything 100% before talking to any shops
