Dear all,

Sorry, it's me again... as most of you know, my vehicle got defected for performance mods 2 weeks ago... well, just to update you, I've fixed up all my mods (removed mods rather)... so now what is the next step? Take it to a licensed tester/mechanic and get a RWC... after that, what do I do...

I'm guessing I then take my canary and WRC and bring it to VICROADS to get them clear my defect and then I'm free as a bird again? Any other procedures? The following still remain on my mind...

1) I've heard some people say if I got EPA(ed) - it should have been written on the sheet (which I didn't get) and the cops didn't mention it...does this mean I am safe - it has been over 2 weeks now... still nothing from EPA, does this mean I am ok and no need to take vehicle to the EPA?

2) When I bring my car to VICROADS... can I drive it there (on the back of the sheet, it says ok to drive from and to tester/VICROADS, is this correct as my driving period has expired recently but not my 28 days)?

3) When I bring my car to VICROADS - would they personally come out and have a look at it piece for piece or do they take the WRC for what it's worth and then it's stamped and done- deal? CAn this be done on weekends??

Many thanks everyone!!

Regards,

so you were asked to get a rwc were ya?

yeah you just take the car to vicroads, they'll have a look at the paper and see what you were defected for then they'll tell you to put your car in the inspection bay. they'll come out and check to see if your defects have been fixed then they'll tell ya to take the sticker off and off ya go.

There is no such thing as a "lenient" place these days

VicRoads is strict, people found to be giving lenient RWC instantly have thier license removed, and its happened to a number of places i know.

1) Can be upto 6 weeks for the EPA notice to come in the mail.

2) The notices you have are all very clear on what you have to do. Depends when the car was pinged, the last drive date etc.

But the notice will have all that, if you still dont understand, ring VicRoads.

3) It can only be done during VicRoads office hours, if you dont know what they are. Ring them as they are closed on weekends.

As for the car, they might go over it, they might not. Again, you will need to ring up and confirm this

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
