Hiya....

to make it short and simple...

just went vic road today...found out the line is unregistered not becoz of speeding fine...but we cleared that off anyway

the lady at vic road tell us that its the EPA test we need to do

the line got defected last year in Nov and the person there said its cleared off and vic road should b confirmed soon...but in this case it didnt seem to b right...pls if anyone can tell us what we should do and if finally a EPA test is needed....can i borrow a stock R33 GTS-t exhaust muffler piping for the meanwhile.

thanks for the help and we should shout u dinner afterwards.

thankyou for advicing and helping....

Milk and Thomas.

This might lead to the roadworthyness of your vechicle vic. Did you buy the car secondhand?? if so, did the person who transfer the car into your name provided a roadworthy cert?

The lady from vic road told you the car got defected last year in Nov? was that from the previous owner? did he/she fixed the problem with the EPA? im kinda confused vic.. more info will be better.

in the case of your car being unregistered, you shouldnt drive it at all!. It should be garaged. I think this is what you need to do anyway:

1)Get your car to a roadworthy place and get a RWC. You might need to tow it or risk driving it to a mechanic to do the RWC..

2)Take the RWC to VicRoads with the engineers report (if the car was an import and never have been registered in australia)

3)Get your brand new plates.

Alternatively, you should have a copy of the EPA test which you can show it

They don't actually give you anything, they just tell you its been cleared...so there goes that idea.

I reckon the rego has been suspended due to the car been seen at the drags or something dodgy like that... wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

The other reason is that another EPA notice has been filed, the notice has been sent to the wrong address and as a result the car has been automatically unregistered - as per the rules. It says that on the EPA notice. There could also be a huge fine floating around if he didn't attend the test on time. The fact "he didn't know about it" won't get him very far at all. Its your responsibility to you to keep all your details up to date with vicroads, nobody elses. You're going to find it damn hard to get that car back on the road I have a feeling.

Seriously Vickii, you gotta find out the rules and learn to play by them properly or you won't be driving for much longer - they'll take off your license and you'll be up for thousands in fines. If you like cars and driving its about time you played by the rules :)

Good luck with it all.. but if you followed the above more often then you, badak, or anybody else who seem to have a problem with the above wouldn't be in that situation.

I suggest ringing the EPA (03) 9695 2722 and see whether there is any record on their file about anything

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
