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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
