Defect

[R-SPEC]

minor defect is easy, least u dont need rwc

bad...

first the police rip you off, then the workshop for an overpriced dodgy rwc

[W0rp3D]

cool thanks for clarifying. its a minor defect..

Anyone go a stock r33 s2 exhaust i can borrow?

Maybe it might be better to get your exhaust fixed, for such minor mods you dont need such a free flowing exhaust, all its going to do is get you another defect, next time it will probably be a full rwc, you got off easy this time.

[gazal]

believe it or not, first he ticked no rwc required, then he decided to tick rwc required. On the piece of paper i have both ticked + crossed..lol

[Phatboy]

Well guys i failed the test it around 100db @ 5k rpm.

Geez what kind of muffler do you have??

Must be one especially designed to have the gases resonate the crap out of it.

Change to stock exhaust.

[gazal]

Hey guys, am a bit confused what to do here, most of the stuff are back to stock the only thing is my muffler still looking for a stock muffler. I check on vicroad web site and this is what they state; I have not recived a letter from the EPA and i dont have a defect sticker on my windscreen??

How do I clear a Victorian defect notice?

The defect notice will specify what you need to do to clear the defect notice. One of three types of requirement will be stated on the notice:

• Self Clearance - You are responsible for repairing defects mentioned in the defect notice and you must sign Section 8 of the Defect Notice once the defects have been repaired. You will also need to forward the "blue" copy of the Defect Notice to VicRoads.
  
• Clearance by VicRoads - You do not need to obtain a Certificate of Roadworthiness. However, you must present the vehicle for inspection to a VicRoads Customer Service Centre to ensure that the defects are rectified and the Defect Notice is removed. No appointment is necessary.
  
• Certificate of Roadworthiness must be obtained - You must present a Certificate of Roadworthiness obtained in respect of the vehicle, dated after the date of issue of the Defect Notice, at a VicRoads office. You must not remove the defect label. If the label is present, the vehicle must be presented at a VicRoads Customer Service Centre for removal. If the label is not present, ie where the windscreen was replaced or where a label was not attached, the vehicle does not have to be presented.
  

Defect notices issued by the EPA cannot be removed by VicRoads. The defect notice will state where to go to get the defect notice removed.

If you have not recived a letter from the EPA then your fine and Thank god you didn't get one either cuz they are ahead f**k.

To clear the defect you have to do all the mods on what the notice has told you to do and take it to a VIC Roads centre, there is usually like a 'drive in' where you park your car, swtich it off and wait for a VIC Roads officer to come out or you go in and ask an officer to come out.

Give them the notice, let them read it through and let them see that you have done the changes.

If you pass they will tell you and remove the defect.

Your free to go!

How about this part on Vicroads website

Certificate of Roadworthiness must be obtained - You must present a Certificate of Roadworthiness obtained in respect of the vehicle, dated after the date of issue of the Defect Notice, at a VicRoads office. You must not remove the defect label. If the label is present, the vehicle must be presented at a VicRoads Customer Service Centre for removal. If the label is not present, ie where the windscreen was replaced or where a label was not attached, the vehicle does not have to be presented.

I dont have a defect sticker do i still need to take my car in for inspection?

Sounds like the pig gave you a half ass defect...

So he didn't give you a yellow sticker, but he wants you to goto a mechanic to get a RWC (Road Worthy Certificate) then present it to VIC Roads saying your car is fine.

Get a RWC done from your mechanic, take it to a VIC Roads Centre, explain to them the situation when you got pulled over and present the RWC and the write up from what the pig gave you to tell you want needed to be changed and see how you go.

[gazal]

Cool thanks for clarifying, my next question is; when i go and get a RWC do they need to do a full standard inspection? like tyres, windscreen wipers etc or do i just tell them about the defect get them to check it and write it on the certificate? I got quote $100 bucks for it

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Depending on the write up on what the cop gave you...

Was is a major or minor RWC needed?

You only go according to the write up cuz there is no need to fix anything else unless stated on the write up sheet.

In your defence, only give whats needed, cop tells you to fix this, then only fix that, nothing else otherwise you be wasting your time.

Major = Full Inspection, Minor = Standard Inspection, or whatever the system is... Your mechanic will know what to do if its a Full or standard Inspection.

[gazal]

on the defect sheet the minor box is tick.. Cheers for that, at least now i know what to say to the mechanic, coz when i went to the mechanic the first time to get a quote he said that we needed to to this, that and everything..

Cheers mate.

my 3" TBE with catco cat is 86.2db at 4700rpm, 88db just under limiter... Also an RB25DET... Why not get a decent system?

man one time i got a defect, i asked the cop if he could not stick the sticker on my window cous its a pain to get off and he didnt LOL.

[R31Nismoid]

They are simple to take off.

Wet a rag, warm water, hold it to sticker for 5-10mins re-soaking the rag every few mins

Thing should peel off.

Or just take it off soon as the cop drives away, and then stick it on with sticky tape... that isnt legal though... as technically your removing it, but then if its still there then perhaps not as its still "there"

I went with that option, but it is still in my glove box.
