today i was so happy to get my 32 on the road. i got to vic roads and everything was cool paperwork checked out until the inspector oppend my bonnet had the road worthy in his hand cheaking to see if all the engine numbers checked out and the dickhead who gave me a road worthy cert wrote down the engine number but misstake a 3 for a c the cock head of a inspector wouldn't even change the misstake. he told me to get another road worthy cert and wrote void all over it and made a booking for next tues. next time you get a car registed or in your name when you by a car make sure the engine number is right so it dosent cause hassles

ouch which vicroads was that?

Had similar story at burwood,

Didnt rego the car because the tyre brand on the rwc was different to the ones i had on!!1

Car was complianced/rwc'd with standard r32 wheels although sale included aftermarket rims so drove to vicroads with them...

Luckily he told me to take it back, get wheels swapped over and come back in 15mins.

Came back and didnt even check the brand of tyres just said yep lol

I had the same problem once, one tyer on the complience sheet didn't match the one of the car...

The complience people made a mistake on as they wrote 230 or somthing -_-

Straight away i rang the complience people and made them get another one ready, as i had to go

pick up another sheet because vic roads wouldnt accept a fax too them from the complience place!

Got it regod the same day!

Just take it back to the guy that did the RWC and show him the mistake. Im sure he'd write up another one then and there without charge.

...i hardly see how this is VicRoads fault. :thumbsup:

the point is that its a hassle for an obvious mistake by some1 else who should know better. Now he has to wait another week which sux.

Yer it sux...but how is it VicRoads fault?

They have a job to do, and if someone doesnt provide them with the correct information/paperwork why should they put their ass on the line for someone else?

LoL @ waiting another week. BooHoo :thumbsup:

hey guys.. just on that note with the registering ur car.. ive got a r32 gtr but is abit of a show car also.. at the moment its unregistered and im in the stage where im about to get it ready to start driving around however i need to get it registered! now if ive got a fiberglass dash with tachos siting in it and also its got airbag suspension.. if i do somehow get a roadworthy cert for my car and do go to vic roads to do the insp (which i am told all they check is the actual id of the car as the inspectors themselves are not licenced road worthy inspectors) do u think i will have much trouble as in them asking questions about those mods, like would they check for them and actually like perform an audit on that mechanics road worthy? thanks guys would appreciate some input on this :thumbsup:

i cant answer your question sorry but damn a 32 gtr with bags!! can you post pics??

It's good to see someone at VicRoads is doing what they're paid for.

Agreed.

Sorry drodi, you've got nothing. Thats correct procedure.

Its like any form of paperwork. If its not filled out correctly, its deemed to be invalid.

Thats life, move on

truth hurts... but he's right.. as much as they seem like pricks thats their job..

same as getting a parking fine... can't shoot the messenger

burwood guys but the guy was a real dick about it

was your inspector a fat old grumpy guy?

As i returned back to my compliancer/seller he told me he has had plenty of troubles with him haha. Something about when they import a new car, they need a vicroads person to inspect it before they can import more or something. Not too sure on the laws lol

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
