Anyone seen one of these before? Needless to say the car does not smoke in the traditional sense (a la Mitsu Magna!).

I'm thinking disgruntled neighbour, which hurts a little.....

Still, 7 years of GTR ownership and this is the worst I've had.

I'll expect one of those one day soon..... dat diesel smoke <3

Cool, got my defect cleared. Took the Vicroads chick all of 5 seconds. No one came out to inspect the vehicle, but they wouldn't remove the defect notice. She said I had to do it myself. It's glued on pretty well, can't seem to get it off without tearing it. What's the best way to remove it?

I've searched SAU but no love. Googled and random things like hairdryer, solvents, nail polish remover, eucalyptus oil, razor blades, paint scrapers all came up. What's the SAFEST option for not scratching the crap out of the windscreen? I don't mind a bit more work. Thanks guys.

Just get a small bucket of water & rag.

Soaks off in a few mins.

lol... you want past experience?

Wait until the officer drives off and then pull the defect sticker off right away OR as soon as you get home.

Then just sticky tape it on once it dries (or just wipe the glue off and tape it on). It's only illegal to not display it... Says nothing about taking it off and immediately re-affixing so it's not a massive pain in the ass later!

That's true experience for ya

Thanks. Came off slowly but nicely.

Whats the fine for driving defected vehicle? (as in you're in the peroid where you're not meant to drive it)

I needa get to work tomorrow. I'm on stockies at stock height, look like a standard civic.

[Borci88]

Pretty high I would imagine, you're driving unregistered.

$500 or $550, cant remember the current un-rego fine amount, it might well have gone up too.

[PENGUYEN]

I thought it was after one month the car would be unregistered? (My first week of being allowed to drive it ended today). So from that 1st week onwards car is not registered?

[Miguelone]

Rego is suspended I believe.

[R31Nismoid]

Yes suspended - Which IIRC, counts the same as un-rego'd because the registration is technically not valid as you are driving outside the conditions of it.

After 1 month they DE-REGISTER the car fully at that point.

Either way it's not a slap on the wrist that you are expecting - so carry some KY if you intend.

Also bare in mind insurance won't cover you, nor will TAC should you end up in an accident

[PENGUYEN]

Yeah... I'm scared.

Looks like its 1.5hrs on pt each way...

[gdogzgtr]

I think unregistered just under $700 now. Pretty much stays on par with current registration cost.
