nah not to worried, hopefully can book in to get it cleared by wednesday

when vicroads check they only check what is listed yes?

that's rite dox.

they'll only check what's on your list.

And half the time you can get around that.

PM dj_lethal... :P his endeavours at Broadie Vic Roads cracked me up.

He basically walked in with the car the same was it was on the defect and span a bit of the good ole :bs!: and passed.

he only had to change the BOV, the rest just stayed as it was.

I'll let him fill ya in with more details that i cant say in public

And that just proves the whole system is WHACKED!

if you can get a defect, and basically no fix anything, then rock into a Vic Roads and get passed A-OK ... then yeah, i dont need to even say it.

Coppers vs Vic Roads = 2 different sets of rules.

did me on tyres.

I was driving to work in the morning on the eastern n one off the highway patrols pulled me over. I guess they couldn't bust anyone driving on Transit lane.

and getting a RWC is a pain. my windscreen cracked last week just after I changed the tyres. so got that replaced. tried to get it RW'ed today and I realise I need to get a side indicator cover as mine fell off.

No. didn't get it coming back from rye mate. I was smashed.

good ol' VIC - you crazy hoon dox!

guess you're gonna see an aweful lot of p-platers catching the bus soon with the 5 point rule. Would'a been me 'cause i think i got up to 10points by about my 2nd year. What a load of pooptrap.

To get the defect cleared do you need to book it into Vicroads??

Coz I was planning to rock up and show them the RWC and get it inspected.

Pain in the ass getting a damn RWC!!!

Read this thread mate.

you dont NEED to get a RWC to take to Vic Roads.

Just make the neccasary changes (if any :P) and then drive to Vic Roads.

There is no need to fork out for a RWC unless you get a canary from memory.

Or maybe not even for a canary if you fix up the bits.

i have said it a million times and i will say it again, u dont need to take your car to vicroads to get the canary cleared. They dont care or have time because they know themselves the vic cops r full of shit when it comes to these matters and all they care about is $$ and getting their quota up

vic roads will only come out and check if being too low is on the defect...  

and the stickers allways fall off if you leave them in the sun...

good luck

no they dont check if they cant be bothered or they are too busy...

my last defect had too low (even though standard height and wheels) but they didnt come out to check...

gonna get tyres replaced tomorrow, bloke from tyrepower is a good guy

then to sticky tape the p plate to the outside for the next 11 months, get spacers for the rear numberplate (just use the ones we use on shower screens and windows)

get a "H" pattern sticker made to stick on my knob :P

secure the cat and make break lights sufficiently bright

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
