They have ECU controlled values. Therefore they are legal.

Which is the bullshit part of the Victorian law - you can have a ECU controlled valve from the factory - but cant install one aftermarket... :rolleyes:

Just to confirm - police can tick major and rwc for any defects yes? I was fairly sure it's completely discretionary, but just wanting to confirm.

It use to be that they needed to find 3 defects for it to be a major but i dont think that exists any more, either that or like a lot of other things they vic pol do they just ignore that and do what they like.

When i was defected they only picked 2 things and made it a major.

He got me for 2 things without even opening anything (too low (he got under the car and measured) and bald rear tyres (camber wear)), even as he handed me the fine he pointed out that the steering wheel was illegal (momo race), if he had have had a look inside he would have found the boost controller and hand controller for the power fc, some times your just better off to cop it sweet cos it could get a lot worse!

Apparently getting an EPA in the mail sometime soon after tonight... Manual boost controller, intercooler+pod and possibly exhaust, heres hoping i dont.

"It looks a bit low"

"....LOL its stock height"

"Yeah but what about the exhaust"

"....it's the same height as stock"

Meanwhile my cars parked in 25cm high grass..

It's how I bought the car, I wouldn't be stupid enough to put it in plain sight where the previous owner has an would have kept the stock airbox but I suppose you always get caught out in that week where you say "I'll fix it tomorrow"

Hey guys just purchased a GTR from SA (yay) now I got it mechanically looked over everything is great apart from brake pads and discs needing to be replaced and just a few minor things..all of it im going to fix..i just need a leeniant rw tester just to transfer it to vic. So if anyone can help me out with someone they know please.

Thanks james

If it's stock just go anywhere.. Not really any 'lenient/dodgy' testers anymore

You should be ok if it's transferring to your name as opposed to clearing defects

Good luck

Mmm I know what you mean but after chasing a rwc to sell my last car..i took it to 3 different ppl and they all picked on different things literally :/

so just want to see if anyone here knows anyone.

Selling a car and transferring it into your name are different things, if you let them know your intentions they should be a bit less fussy as you will be driving it and it won't come back onto them for not being tough on the rwc.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
