mine was triple defected and they gave me permits to drive to a place of repair

it will just cost you $50 everytime you get a permit to drive to and from a certain place for that day

but did your car have rego ? would be alot easier that way forsure.

+ I get to drive my car again :P

I had it registered but then after august the rego ran out

so i drove around in september for a bit with permits and no registration

coz when you pay permit you pay CTP insurance as well i think its a third part one

When I got defected, I got told that I had to tow the car anywhere and everywhere...

What the....that cop must have been on some good shit

yeah I expect to get pulled over.

I was pulled over 3 times in oneday once with a single defect sticker on.

I was told by some people that a double defect is worse and Id need to get towed.

glad I know now.

That's crazy dude. I drove around for a good 5 weeks or so with a double defect and never got pulled over (I had a permit).

I even drove around the GTR before it was even registered in Australia on permits with no number plates and not a single cop pulled me over. I even drove past a few and had a few follow me! It's weird how it all works...

$48 for place of repair permit, (can be used for up to 3 days of driving)

just put on there that you are taking it to one place of repair (up north) and one down south using all main roads.

Doesnt matter if car is unregoed, mine was.

happy driving

right. sorted.

got the permit for tomorrow.

I knew you could get em, just didnt know you could get em if you were unregistered.

:)

I called TransportSA recently when I was defected. I was told they no longer issue these permits. I had the girl confirm it with her manager, he said as your car is technically still not roadworthy it can't be driven and that loop hole had be closed. Looks like they lied to me those pricks.

You expected any sort of honesty out of a government dept? :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
