so i went down to vicroads explained my story, she basically said they can not deviate and must honour what is written on the defect notice, only the officer who issued the defect or someone higher than him can change the defect notice and must write out a new one although i dont think the lady really knew what i was talking about with the vass i think she was just going off what i had said about it, im not going down to the police station to slug it out with this bloke though soooo....

...i called vicroads, gave them my speel, spoke to quite a few people till i finally got through to andrew cruddis (angelo is on holidays so hes caretaking at the moment). i explained to him the police officer did not specify anything to be engineered on the defect so why am i needing to engineer a stock vehicle so he said take your car and get the roadworthy done and tell the inspector to call me directly to have a chat about the car and maybe he can do something about the VASS certificate sooo...

...car goes in tomorrow for roadworthy inspection.

thats progress so far,not sure if im still going to have to clear the defect at denmark street vicroads or not fingers crossed i dont, andrew asked me if i had cut a hole for the front mount, i said it didnt matter as the car does not have airbags from factory, he said it doesnt matter its still a structural part of the front of the car so hopefully i dont have to get that engineered, my roadworthy guy used to own a 32 himself and i think he would be prepared to slug it out about this rule anyway, he said hes just gotta make sure the hole is neatly cut and what not..

Now that I have finally done the traffic training I can say the police have no power at all to request vass certificate. Can only send you to get rwc and up to mechanic to request vass. Would say from the training that 90% of nou issued incorrectly

I heard that there are going to be target lists of repeat offenders given to tmu units for tasking. Could be called black lists. I think it's good to target repeat disqualified, suspended, unlic drink drivers etc. massive push to turn traffic matters into crime charges. Eg do burnout near spectators and get charged with reckless conduct giving you crime record

i got "black listed" because my car was too low and wheels too wide.. seriously :(

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
