EPA....SAU i need your help

[Milk]

Hiya....

to make it short and simple...

just went vic road today...found out the line is unregistered not becoz of speeding fine...but we cleared that off anyway

the lady at vic road tell us that its the EPA test we need to do

the line got defected last year in Nov and the person there said its cleared off and vic road should b confirmed soon...but in this case it didnt seem to b right...pls if anyone can tell us what we should do and if finally a EPA test is needed....can i borrow a stock R33 GTS-t exhaust muffler piping for the meanwhile.

thanks for the help and we should shout u dinner afterwards.

thankyou for advicing and helping....

Milk and Thomas.

This might lead to the roadworthyness of your vechicle vic. Did you buy the car secondhand?? if so, did the person who transfer the car into your name provided a roadworthy cert?

The lady from vic road told you the car got defected last year in Nov? was that from the previous owner? did he/she fixed the problem with the EPA? im kinda confused vic.. more info will be better.

in the case of your car being unregistered, you shouldnt drive it at all!. It should be garaged. I think this is what you need to do anyway:

1)Get your car to a roadworthy place and get a RWC. You might need to tow it or risk driving it to a mechanic to do the RWC..

2)Take the RWC to VicRoads with the engineers report (if the car was an import and never have been registered in australia)

3)Get your brand new plates.

thnx eric

mm...ok the skyline was done last Nov. got a green sticker says EPA TEST NEEDED

so went and proceeded EPA at Macleod EPA test centre

then the staff there say its all done and they will tell vic road about it...so we thought its FINE!

But! dont think they tell vic road about it! so i am confused in what to do...yes

been driving lancer most of the time now...which needs a service soon...i am fustrated....my god...

Then you will need to chase up Macleod EPA test centre and ensure they have put through the test to VicRoads. Alternatively, you should have a copy of the EPA test which you can show it.

They don't actually give you anything, they just tell you its been cleared...so there goes that idea.

I reckon the rego has been suspended due to the car been seen at the drags or something dodgy like that... wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

The other reason is that another EPA notice has been filed, the notice has been sent to the wrong address and as a result the car has been automatically unregistered - as per the rules. It says that on the EPA notice. There could also be a huge fine floating around if he didn't attend the test on time. The fact "he didn't know about it" won't get him very far at all. Its your responsibility to you to keep all your details up to date with vicroads, nobody elses. You're going to find it damn hard to get that car back on the road I have a feeling.

Seriously Vickii, you gotta find out the rules and learn to play by them properly or you won't be driving for much longer - they'll take off your license and you'll be up for thousands in fines. If you like cars and driving its about time you played by the rules

Good luck with it all.. but if you followed the above more often then you, badak, or anybody else who seem to have a problem with the above wouldn't be in that situation.

I suggest ringing the EPA (03) 9695 2722 and see whether there is any record on their file about anything

i got a standard R33 system if needed..........

[Milk]

It wasn't my fault

i knew about this after i went out with thomas...but i am willing to fix it up for him

called up today and found out that another EPA test needed to b done and $500 fine is involved...oh wells already have lots a problems, might as well add on another one...i am used to it

thanks for the advice...i dont allow badak out on street unless neccessary anyway...the magna goes fine lol:D

and my lancer is due in for a service...therefore...preparing FOR SALE notice lol

thnx troy pls PM
