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:

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

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

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
