i just had to vent my frustration guys!!! i went to carlton vicroads to get my car registered and i had a young guy come out and check it. he was just about to pass it when this stupid old guy came out and looked at the comp plates and said 'it needs tamper proof rivets" WTF is that?

so i had to go and get them put on and when i came back the young guy looked at it and approved, but then the old guy came back and spent 10 mins checking the car again!!!!

after an hour of stuffing around i finally got it registered.

stupid old guy!!!

I warned you about him yesterday.

He insists on the tamper-proof rivets & gets pi**ed off if other testers pass a car that doesn't have them.

The rule is a new one based on the fact that some peop[le were getting one car complied, then taking its compliance plate off & sticking it on other cars to get them registered without being complied first.

it's a sensible rule, but if they're going to enforce it they should help you find someone who can actually supply & fit the right ones!

i understand how you feel mate, a similar situation happened when I was trying to register my car.

I took it to Dande Vic roads on a friday afternoon and one guy was checking everything out and then an older guy came out and told me I wasn't allowed to register it with the rims that came with the car, I thought shit they are only 17' with new tyres and after arguing he wouldnt change his mind. So I had to wait till Monday and I decided to take it to Frankston vic roads and they were just about to approve my car. I was starting to feel happy and then the guy complained about my air filter, and I had enough and cracked the shits. My uncle was there talking shit to him for bout 35mins and finally my car became registered!

Although Im now stuk wit a number plate that say's "SAD" which just puts the icing on the cake.

:rolleyes:

go to oakleigh although an old guy there as well but we have got cars with massive turbos etc through there before.

he did pick me up on te rivets as well.. altenrative is to get the vin no stamped on the strut tower.. i was early so he told me to take it to garage just around the corner $15 bucks later at it was fine.... never go to carlton heard they are very strict.

dunno what burwood is like though.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
