Would a ding like the one on this car prevent roadworthiness? The one on the back door most specifically, the paint would probably buff off.

I've just bought an R34 GTT and I'm looking for some original rubber brake and clutch pedal covers for a roadworthy. I know in the past aftermarket bolt-ons have been denied, and I don't particularly want to pay $150ish dollars for genuine GTR ones. Any help would be much appreciated.

I spoke to the mechanic today who will be doing the roadworthy and he said bolt on type of pedal covers would need to be bolted THROUGH the pedals, not bolted on using brackets as most aftermarket kits have, or alternatively, grip tape/skateboard deck tape is acceptable, as long as the pedal has a grippy surface it will pass. So I spent $5 at a bike shop on a 90mm x 500mm strip of scooter deck tape. I'll have enough left over to re-cover both pedals 5 times over. He is also happy with coilovers as long as they are a quality brand (mine are Teins) and not a backyard job. Car is booked in for Monday, happy days!

Got a question for everyone, i was in a quiet carpark tonight and was revving the car stationary a bit (its fairly loud) and a unmarked ford transit van pulls out of nowhere with 6 cops in it, two come out and say what the hell are you doing..


long story short they didn't check my license or anything.. just said your car dosnt sound normal I'm going to take your rego down and pass it on to a highway patrol to check over your car so expect a letter in the mail !!


Do you guys think the cop was bluffing? does a why patrol come to your house to check your car or? any help will be greatly appreciated.


there is nothing stoping a cop coming around and checking your car. strange if they had that much of a concern that they didnt get the HWY Patrol car to come there on the spot. but i suppose all you can do is wait now.

You'll most likely get an EPA notice in the mail, organised BY hwy patrol courtesy of him forwarding your details to them. Which means going to a noise test. Unless he got lazy later on or forgot about it, you'll get a notice.

I would have said the same thing... :P

Ok, so I tried to get a roadworthy today, and it failed because when you put the headlights onto high beam, the low beam lights switch off.

According to Vic RW standards, the low beams need to stay on when you're on high beam.

AFAIK, this is normal for the car, but the workshop guy said absolutely no room for negotiation on this.

WTF? Anyone had any experience with this?

uwot?

Skylines (and lots of cars) do this from factory... as you pull the stalk towards you, highbeams come on and then (less than a mm later) lowbeams go off...

I assume to limit power draw or overheating of the headlight casings?

They got complianced just fine like this...

I'd ask him to point out where in the Vicroads regulations it specifies headlights and high beams must come on at the same time. Nothing in VI26 stating that at all.

Nothing in ADR 46/00 about headlight/high beam coming on at the same time either if you wanted more proof that dude is talking out of his arse :P

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
