Both fairly straightforward jobs. Really depends how fussy workshop is and how bad the leaks are. If you pressure wash beforehand and it's a minor weep it may not be an issue. ANother option is of cou

Who cares about the pod/intake thing - even though the Officer is wrong it makes no difference to the fact you have to get a RWC.

The exhaust is low, get it fixed and go take the defect to a RWC place.

It's really that simple. A RWC place wont just make you "change windscreen" if there is nothing wrong with it. :glare:

were you clearing a defect or just getting a RWC for registration?

I'm clearing a major defect, so it requires a RWC to show to vicroads.

I know the pod wasn't the real issue, it just showed that a cop can be handing out defects without really knowing anything about cars. I once tried to get a RWC from rapidtune when selling the car. They gave me a massive list of things that needed to be fixed. I showed that list and the car to our family mechanic (he wasn't able to write a RWC) and he pointed out to me the things they had mentioned. Seriously only about 3 out of the 10 things actually needed to be changed. I took it to another place to get the RWC and they did it for a fraction of the price that rapidtune wanted for it.

Unfortunately this time I only have 7 days. More like 5 days now.

I got pulled over today, as you would...

as my car probably does 112dbs or there abouts, he only took down my details and my phone. I have a valve controller that shuts up the exhaust. He said he wanted to go back and do some checks later (he was on a bike).

Should I expect an EPA in the mail?

got pulled over my first time! thought i was doing something wrong when i drove a little onto the wrong side of the road to avoid a car but the officer told me to pop the bonnet and he started measuring the car height and checked under the bonnet, then he said "all stock okay you can go"

You're joking yea

I didnt say "is this defectable" I know it is a defectable Item. But there are many mods that will still pass a RWC as they are not deemed unsafe.

For example, You can get defected by police for not having the H pattern for your gear nob, yet most mechanics will still pass this with a RWC.

So no, I'm not joking. The RWC is to transfer the vehicle only.

Hey guys how are ya, I havn't brought a car for a long time but just wanted to know. I brought a another r33 and it has a cooler and a 3inch trust greddy cannon exhaust with 17inch rims, Now everything else is stock, now i need a RWC under my name to get the papers under my name... would a return-flow cooler still pass at the RWC's and 17inch rims? Besides that everything is stock in the car..

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
