Need quick advise please .....

I have a car that is currently registered with SA plates for another couple weeks. I want to give it to me pa (who does about 20km's a month lol) so obviously it needs to be registered in vic. Now, do i just go to VicRoads and transfer it to Vic plates then get the transfer papers to transfer to me pa name? ...or is there an easier way? If i get the roadworthy myself will Vicroads want to inspect the car at any point in the process?

Also,

If i let the reg expire can i just go out an get a roadworthy, take that along with the transfer papers to Vicroads and get it transfered straight to his name with new reg no fuss? ...will Vicroads want to inspect the car at any point if u used this process???

Whats the best, no fuss way without having to take the car to Vicroads ...??? :P

VicRoads might, best to ring them on monday

Sometimes they do, sometimes they dont. There is a criteria surrounding it but i cant remember honestly.

If its de-rego, same story. Some people ive known not to need to, but then i had to myself... so its all up in the air.

Best bet, get it here. And do the transfer to vic/pa's name at the same time. All you do i register it in Vic in his name in the first instance.

Bringing it here, transfer to your name, then to your pa's is just too long winded when you can go SA reg --> Vic Reg/Pa name at the same time with a RWC

quick question

if a cop/epa officer spots your car on the road and sees it as being too loud etc, can they send out a letter to you for a FULL epa emissions test or NOISE test only.

My mate got pulled over by a cop last week, popped the hood etc etc. This 32 (engine wise) is nearly dead stock apart from turbo back exhaust and pod. After the cop checked it out we got a defect notice for ride height too low and then a FULL EPA emissions test needed??

Under the hood is completely legal (1 intake mod)

I guess if the police officer wants to be a dick they can send you out for a full epa emissions test if they want, correct??

As with more and more matters it is "At the officers discretion".

hey guys, just a quick one. Got pulled over on dandy road last night and had my bonnet opened, now clearly I was in breach of the 1 intake mod thing, but I was not handed any form of infringement or even told I would be.Copper one had the measuring thingy and she passed. Copper 2 (was a right hottie :) ) had the torch and was checking everything out.... Are you normaly advised if they want to send you to the e pa? And I live in gippsland, so afaik I dont have to go @ all? Can anyone confirm this? :)

Thanks in advance!

No they don't have to advise you on the spot. :)

Ive never been advised of any EPA's ive had in the mail.

They can just go back, paperwork, EPA in the mail.

Its that easy for them as there are no rules surrounding it which makes it a fair load of crap :)

Sounds like run of the mill officers, they generally aren't too hard

Thanks for that Ash. Yeah I think I was lucky. They had seen me pass them some 2 hours earlier and were quizzing me on what I was doing travelling up and down dandy road.

I will be surprised if I get anything in the mail, but it certainly makes me think twice about modifying my car further!

hey guys, anyone been down to have their car EPA tested in moorabin? i'm due for a check and was just wondering how strict they are with the test?and if they are nice or not about it. lol

i rang them today and they said the whole car would be looked at, and would take an hour! the EPA in McLeod only took 15-20 minutes.

cheers.

G'day all,

I've got couple of q,

1, Would I need child resistant anchorages to pass rwc? (my 33 didn't come with one - speakers was in place) - couldn't find info @ vicroads site and my local mech have no idea.

2, Who have good RWC place near Frankston area? (Need second opinion and went to couple and they won't touch skylines for some reason)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Dude was fairly chilled but by the book. I failed for 4db over but he didn't care about the epv in the exhaust, however made me change it and redo the test.

They wont pass a car, thats not legal. Its that simple.

If they get busted its fines and could lead to a loss of thier approval/saction as a tester and thats not really worth it for them

i rang the moorabin mechanic where my car will be tested, and they said it will have to be put on a hoist and all.. so would that mean some of my oil leaks could be a problem aswell? its not really an emission, but could it still be considered an environmental problem?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
