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...

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
