Hey fellas,

Just a quick question... well, my vehicle's registration is due in a couple of weeks for round $500 or or so. The thing is, I just bought a property recently and financially things are quite tight as we've had to purchase a lot of homewares and appliances as people do after having just moved into their property. :)

Anyway, I'm finding it hard to pay for the above registration coming up in a couple of weeks and was thinking of not paying it (leaving the vehicle unregistered for a few months) - of course I won't be driving it during this time and then re-register the vehicle when I can afford it. However, I've been told by some friends that with new laws and the amount of aftermarket mods on my car, it will be very hard to re-register it, say, after 2-3 months as I'll have to present the vehicle for a full inspection again before VicRoads would apply me to re-register the vehicle -hence, they suggest that perhaps do what I can to register the car to afford the above happening seeing that there is a chance I may not be able to register the vehicle anymore.

If the above is true, then of course I'll have to make big cuts to my budget to make payment otherwise I can simply not drive the vehicle (whilst leaving it unregistered) for a few months and then re-register it when my financial situation is better.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Many thanks,

Kevin

vicroads will give you an extra 2-4 weeks to pay if that helps

Serious? But will my car remain registered ... well, registered pending payment or will it still be off the road etc?

Thanks mate.

it will still be registered, but once you go over the extension time it will be de-registered (or woteva happens when you dont pay)

Hey mate, thanks for that... if this true, then that's great... all I need is an extra month - that's all... ok, I'll give VicRoads a call tomorrow morning... has anyone ever extended the payment of their registration fee yet?

Aso, is there any truth in my friends comments about how it is harder to register a vehicle after having it off the road etc.?

afaik pay it by the due date or you have to get a rwc...

Yeah, this is exactly what I was worried about... shittt......... I hope Justin911's comments are valid... damn it... bad timing with the rego but I guess at least it's only once a year... anyone else with similiar experience?

"If payment is not received by the expiry date a reminder notice will be sent advising that the registration will be cancelled if payment is not received within three months of the expiry date. Paying the registration at any time within three months of the expiry date will register the vehicle from the date of payment until the normal expiry date."

looks like you have 3 months to pay before it gets de-registered, obviously you cant drive it if you havnt paid though.

Justin, you're a champion! Your help is much appreciated, no really, it is... I was pulling my hair out... 3 months is a life-line!

That's great... I don't mind not driving my car, it's more so the payment that I was concerned about... all I need is more like 1 month and I'll be good again... thanks mate... and others too!

just pay 6 months...only like $260 or something. dont know about vic, but in perth u can pay half yearly. mines due in 6 days...havent payed yet :)

Now there's another idea... thanks buddy... much appreciated! :)

my rego was over due by 2 days i then payed it by bpay over the fone and couldnt get a printed receipt as it was over the fone only got a receipt number the next day i got pulled over and copped a $551 fine as it hadnt been processed by vic roads but the money was taken outta my account. no i have to wait for vic roads to get off their ass and send me out a receipt then forward it to civic compliance then the infingment will be cleared.

Cant drive the car from the date of expiry, but can keep it 'registered' upto 3 months.

Odd question considering the renewal notice you were sent had all the information on it... (about the 3 month grace period etc).

during the year, take all the loose change you get whenever you buy things, and put them in a jar. When it comes time to pay for rego/inusurance, knock that jar over and start counting.

I usually end up with around $800 at least, by mid year, in change.

Aso, is there any truth in my friends comments about how it is harder to register a vehicle after having it off the road etc.?

Well yes. If you've got illegal mods and you don't feel like changing them back to stock and/or minor problems such as oil leaks and don't want to fix them for a RWC then it's a wise move to keep the car registered. I had my car registered for 1.5 years when it barely saw sunlight and sat in a garage.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
