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? :)

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
