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.

Thanks for your comments buddy... yeah, I feel the same... presenting my vehicle for a RWC is not an option. :D

As what justin911 state... you have 3 months to re-register you car before it gets de-registered. From that point, all you need to have your vehicle registered is to have a RWC. You dont need to book an inspection time with vicroads as you were the previous owner at time of the vehicle being de-registered and also the current owner at the time of having the vehicle registered. Basically turn up at any vicroads when your ready ... show them the RWC, pay your rego fee and its all done...

Thanks mate... yeah, I'm only in financial strife now as I bought a $3K bed and a $670 matress plus some other homewares stuff that the wife picked out... lol ... 2 more month is sex for me... I'll be fine then... at least, like you say, I still can get it re-registered subject to a RWC, but that'll just be a hassle... once again, thanks mate!

Do you think I'll have to call vicroads to arrange this?

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.

+1 - great idea! But only one problem - we had a jar like that too - it was opened up for the lounge! Never knew buying new home and having to furnish it would cost so bloody much! :D

Shit mate you must be cutting it fine, how will you cope after another interest rate rise or 5 ?.

Yeah mate, I'm coping it fine at the moment... but this is only due to the amount of furniture and housewares that we've bought over the last few months... once this folds over, I'll be fine... interest rate will jack my mortgage up by around $300, so I'm not phrased...

But yeah, it just shows, you can never earn enough for life... hahaha :D

Do you think I'll have to call vicroads to arrange this?

You can give vicroads a call but not necessary. My cousins mate left his car sitting in the front yard for about 14-15months, when he was ready he gave em a call to book a time and got told just to come in anytime as no inspection required

Thanks fellas, I guess - I'll just hang fo an extra 1-2 months then pay it (but won't drive until then).

Thanks.

COME TO TONIGHT'S CRUISE ANYONE?

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
