is there any thing else on the defect notice that needs to be addressed. if not take the car to vic roads first as you believe that the tyres are in good condition if vic roads wont to see a RWC they will let you know.

but i had a major defect for a GT spoiler i just took it off and went to vic roads, they had a look saw it was off and gone all right you can go.

tyres are consided unrwc when two or more of the tread wear indecators are in line with the tread at any point on the tyre

who's whinging?

i'm curious to see if anyone from here got done.....

the "winge winge cry cry et etc" part was sarcasm dude :whistling:

don't worry about him dude, he's always got something to say!

yeah, they will do that to you also.. mate of mine who bought my 33 just got defected for front tyres... they havent reached the wear indicator, shoulders are all perfect still... but because they are getting on thier way to being unroadworthy the coppa did him anyway!

they would need to be replaced in a few months.... but the defect is forcing him to replace them now! not alot you can do hey

hey i havent read through the thread??

but...

If he defected you on tyres, then you must of had to get a tow truck..

He shouldnt have let you drive from there, unless it was a load rating issue..

yea the cop that got me for tyres said i had to get it towed but then they had a change of heart and said you can't drive it in the wet.. what a sweat i was only going to maccas cos i was starving, 30mins later i managed to eat lol

R-SPEC - so if you got a major defect does that mean you gota pay the $177 fine aswell? or nah?

no he said "he's not gonna give me a fine coz the money would be better spent on fixing the defect instead" which i thought was pretty decent of him.

it says car can't be driven in the wet or after 6pm.

exactly the same thing happened to me with the same car last year. also 2 rear tyres and 1 front. but the tyres back then were pretty bad and i wasn't told to get a rwc...

see this is what you get for showing up to uni, i had just finished a lecture in the city campus and had another 1 in the bundoora campus so i was trying to get there.

should've drove straight home instead...

      What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
