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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
