Got my roadworthy today. Much better than previous place, just had to change the tint on the front windows and get rid of the pfc controller.

Where did you get it done?? Or has anybody got a place that is slightly lenient on us??

heres an interesting question

the car i purchased came with a roady (was less than 30 days ago)

Over the past week ive noticed that there has been an oil leak or two off the bottom of the engine. the main leak is coming from the sump plug hole. Replaced the sump plug in the hope that it was the problem, but it still seams to be leaking. there also seems to be another oil leak, but im unsure where it is.

now here is the question lol

isnt the roady supposed to pick up on such things as oil leaks?

if this is the fact, is there recourse against the shop that issued the roadworthy to fix these problems because they missed them/overlooked such issues?

cheers

They are not meant to sign of a rwc if car has oil leaks...a rwc is valid for 30 days from date issued...if I were you id take the car with the cert back before the 30 days is up, you might have a good chance to get it fixed free of charge.

thats what i thought.

however im not a fan of good chances, id rather a full chance

A leak can develop after the RWC is supplied.

You'd have to prove beyond reasonable doube it was there when the cert was signed.

thats what i was worried about.

would the oil/grime caked onto the sump prove?

any other way i could prove it?

From what ive always thought, a rwc check doesnt actually fix any problems if they arise, they only note them down. So if you go in there with leaks they might cancel the certificate and get you to fix them (at your cost) before they will certify it again.

Davey32 you have a PM.

^^

lol

don't like your chances unfortunately, cant hurt to ask but they will be on the defence straight off since your basically saying to them they are in the wrong.. often doesnt go down well

Problem is unless you take a photo of anything wrong straight after buying the car they will just say 'oh that happened after', i'm not talking about really bad stuff like cracked screen or bald tyres, but things like oil leaks or whatever they can be cleaned of for the roady and then start leaking after a few days, no way you can prove otherwise.

i got epa'd, stupid thing is, when they said I was "spotted", I was at work, and my car in the work parking. i didnt even drive through the place.

I've had it cleared but wtf are these idiots doing.

same thing happened to me, apparently i was driving on a monday night at 12am about 2 weeks before i was heading overseas

thing is i was asleep because we were busy trying to finish off as much work as possible before i left

problem is you cant contest it because they will still say test the car and prove its not to loud etc

Couldn't you contest it with a factory exhaust? Assuming of course it was on at the time.

they would still ask for you to test it though, thats the thing... there is no point in contesting

at the time i had my old exhaust on anyway, a lot louder than whats on now but thats not the point

i was stung even when i wasnt driving :(

That's gay that you can get your car epa'd when parked.

Though I woulda thought the wagon would of been safe :ninja:

It is generally safe but we are in Vic, if it's anything to up their commission theyll do it, I remember on my p's driving dads falcon which is stock as a rock. And he got epa'd for the time I was driving. If they can they will. Oh and my car wasn't on ferntree gully rd like they said it was parked in undercover secure parking at work in the cbd

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
