today i was so happy to get my 32 on the road. i got to vic roads and everything was cool paperwork checked out until the inspector oppend my bonnet had the road worthy in his hand cheaking to see if all the engine numbers checked out and the dickhead who gave me a road worthy cert wrote down the engine number but misstake a 3 for a c the cock head of a inspector wouldn't even change the misstake. he told me to get another road worthy cert and wrote void all over it and made a booking for next tues. next time you get a car registed or in your name when you by a car make sure the engine number is right so it dosent cause hassles

ouch which vicroads was that?

Had similar story at burwood,

Didnt rego the car because the tyre brand on the rwc was different to the ones i had on!!1

Car was complianced/rwc'd with standard r32 wheels although sale included aftermarket rims so drove to vicroads with them...

Luckily he told me to take it back, get wheels swapped over and come back in 15mins.

Came back and didnt even check the brand of tyres just said yep lol

I had the same problem once, one tyer on the complience sheet didn't match the one of the car...

The complience people made a mistake on as they wrote 230 or somthing -_-

Straight away i rang the complience people and made them get another one ready, as i had to go

pick up another sheet because vic roads wouldnt accept a fax too them from the complience place!

Got it regod the same day!

Just take it back to the guy that did the RWC and show him the mistake. Im sure he'd write up another one then and there without charge.

...i hardly see how this is VicRoads fault. :thumbsup:

the point is that its a hassle for an obvious mistake by some1 else who should know better. Now he has to wait another week which sux.

Yer it sux...but how is it VicRoads fault?

They have a job to do, and if someone doesnt provide them with the correct information/paperwork why should they put their ass on the line for someone else?

LoL @ waiting another week. BooHoo :thumbsup:

hey guys.. just on that note with the registering ur car.. ive got a r32 gtr but is abit of a show car also.. at the moment its unregistered and im in the stage where im about to get it ready to start driving around however i need to get it registered! now if ive got a fiberglass dash with tachos siting in it and also its got airbag suspension.. if i do somehow get a roadworthy cert for my car and do go to vic roads to do the insp (which i am told all they check is the actual id of the car as the inspectors themselves are not licenced road worthy inspectors) do u think i will have much trouble as in them asking questions about those mods, like would they check for them and actually like perform an audit on that mechanics road worthy? thanks guys would appreciate some input on this :thumbsup:

i cant answer your question sorry but damn a 32 gtr with bags!! can you post pics??

It's good to see someone at VicRoads is doing what they're paid for.

Agreed.

Sorry drodi, you've got nothing. Thats correct procedure.

Its like any form of paperwork. If its not filled out correctly, its deemed to be invalid.

Thats life, move on

my engines still at the mechanics so at the moment its kinda sitting on the ground! when its finished in the next month or two you'll see it on the road.. and yeah pics will be posted soon - give me a couple weeks! ------ dredding vic roads day tho! ;P

Agreed.

truth hurts... but he's right.. as much as they seem like pricks thats their job..

same as getting a parking fine... can't shoot the messenger

burwood guys but the guy was a real dick about it

was your inspector a fat old grumpy guy?

As i returned back to my compliancer/seller he told me he has had plenty of troubles with him haha. Something about when they import a new car, they need a vicroads person to inspect it before they can import more or something. Not too sure on the laws lol

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
