Vic Wasteland Thread

[blags]

they only take photos of the egine baby and dash with ign on(all lights up)

and under the car from the front.. mine was done at holden when i got this 200.

The pics dont go to Vic roads, only if you get a defect within 30days. Vicroads will only THEN ask for the pictures from the RWC issuer to see how it compares to what they took

He said no photos of engine bay. Just underneath, with 1 wheels off and dash... He made a point about the Hicas and airbag lights cos they flash etc.

RWC checklist:

Remove 2-way diff - Really?

Re-install Hicas - I should have one around somewhere.

Front tie rod ends - Bursons TE926-14

Raise about 1 inch

Re-install steering wheel

Remove exhaust and change - Really?

Change rims

Front fog light not working... I need s2 fog lights if anyone has them. 4 door fog lights seems to be a sealed light.

Take the cluster out, very easy and remove the blubs.

Getting Hicas and stock catback from alex.

I was amazed at having to change the diff!! so annoying....

Im just getting the KKR adjustable pillowball tie rod ends

[Sunkist]

i guess different reasons for a roady mean different pictures..

i took mine for a legit roady to find if there was genuinly something wrong with the car, then he took it for a dodge viper2000.. nice car those are.

pics of bay, dash, and under car from the front.

only because pod, FMIC and s15 Steering wheel..cant see the hicas lock bar from the front in mine, ide assume the same for you.(mines a 34GTR rear diff..

Fark dude you got RWC raped

Definitely take the cluster out and pull the bulbs man, it'll be easier than refitting and you'll also need to never worry about it again

You shouldnt need to change the diff, thats farked

Lets have a working bee to help Billy to the SAU Nats lol

[alr33x]

yeh I told him to pull bulbs also

Someone tell me what's a stock diff worth to buy? Figure more ppl will want that than a weldy

[blah_blah]

Short skirts all over the city. Must be summer

[alr33x]

Word! I'm about to hit food court get my strut on... Nowhere near as good as CBD but it's all i got

[Count Grantleyish]

I'm fairly sure exhaust shouldn't need changing for RWC. Always thought it's fine as long it's secured properly and EGT sensor attached, and exhaust noise is EPA related or RW/Vicroads like to screw us lot?

That brings me to a story; Last December i bought a 32 GTR, seller said he had to put stock exhaust in cos the Apexi N1 is too loud to pass RWC, That being said, the system consists of 3" Y pipe, de-cat and stock catback. He then swapped back before I got the car.

yeh they do have to pass noise to pass a RWC.. but only at the discretion of the RWC issuer.. nothing to do with EPA

I might have a stock S2 diff you can borrow. Will check tonight.

I would just tell the guy you got the diff reconditioned and it clunks because it is yet to wear in, at least that is what the diff place told you....

Lucky I kept my stock diff thanks for the offer.

I want to enter Haunted Hills so everything will need to go back on! haha

as i said, whatever the RWC tester considers quiet.

lol well yeh

doesnt make sense though seeing as the stock is over EPA limit anyway..

[ssxRicho]

sucks

[ARTZ]

so if hicas has to be there does that mean I would have to reinstall my air con for a RWC

[blags]

Probably not.. Aircon was a factory option right? Also has nothing to do with safety like hicas does.

If the heater still works, no. But you need something to demist the front window. A/C or heater.
