* being black

what?

whoever that gets pinged with these retarded technicalities needs to eat a bag of dicks, they don't resort to pulling em out unless you give em attitude. Cos you know, it's such an intelligent idea to remind the copper that just pulled you over that he's wasting your time and his. That's gotta make his job feel that much better.

Not having a shifter pattern displayed.

There's a big debate around that, I've never found out if its actually illegal or not... but i started a thread on it ages ago.

I just searched and found it...read it...and it gave me lotsa lolz again!

i wasn't going to bother sharing here and get slapped again for it, but what they hey

anyways, here's a pic of the overall product, looks ok...to me :/

SO CAN ANYBODY PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS A REAL RWC ITEM OR NOT??

Mate got done for not displaying his shift pattern after using an A/M gearknob on his MKIV Supra. He also got done for his car being "too low" when it was stock height (which was a good laugh)

Although most of the defects listed above seem pretty reasonable to me, it would seem absurd to have a couple of those defects and ONLY those and not others, eg bald tires, pod + cooler etc.

Got defected for the second time in 5 years owning an R34 and R32 GT-R. Out of all the things my car could have got defected for i got defected for having my wheels stick out of the arches (and only by millimeters) Sometimes the boys in blue just don't like you on the road, i normally get really great cops who you can sit and have a good chat with even if you have done something wrong. I have been lucky soo far and feel my time for a major ass whooping is around the corner! :D

Recently got mine done actually r33 gts-t when i brought it, the rwc that seller had done had ran out by 5 days and only driven about 20ks since the rwc... rofl had the tie rod ends done for the rwc... now because i got it melbourne and being from gippsland i was like ok dont worry about the rwc what could possibly be wrong with it since it had recently been done etc and i would get a rwc done locally ... rofl what a mistake i took to a local mechanic these pricks picked on intermediate brack lights not working ... rofl which did i f$%king checked and had some1 tailgate be on the way home to make sure... Brake fluid flush... which was funny considering it had the recently been done from the buyer which had the brakes replaced and rotors.. even seen receipt so obviously flushed less then 3 months ago rofl... windscreen which they said had little chips in it... WTF i couldnt see anything even godamn got a windscreen repair dude out who just laughed at me... and said wants wrong with it... then wiper blades!!! which were new haha..

Bullsh!t Roadworthy rules indeed

Oh and the end story was i took it back to the place which had done the rwc originally ... passed no problems... it had been tested twice there before... when the buyer had it...

http://www.pca.sa.gov.au/images/Complaint%20Form.pdf we have this in SA so if u get a PIG of cop who has done something you feel as though wasnt rigt u can have it dealt with.... but that said the SAPOL arent too bad as proved by the annual BSM Cruise, where from memory the last attendance was around 700 plus cars with only a handful of defects- with the police attending and helping. that said there are some real cops out there who will do anything to defect a roadworthy car, eg a mate getting deected because he didnt have a sticker inside his door displaying wheel and tyre sizes for the vehicle etc.. some rules iv never even heard o.. is it true u have to have foot wear on to drive?

I believe you don't actually have to have footwear but if you do it can't be thongs or sandals or something else that could slip off and potentially get under the pedals.

I'd imagine the Intelligent Quotient down at the Academy could be likened to that of an Avocado too.

Intelligence, genius.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.

      This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.

      Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.

      This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
