Just got a call from vicroads saying that someone had tried to register a vehicle with the same VIN and engine number as my mums car, its not a skyline or any thing just a commodore.

They told me to let her know and to go into our nearest vicroads and get it checked.

So what could this mean?? is this bad for my mum?

Well it could be one of two things.

1. Your mums car is a rebirth or dodgy rego

2. The car attempting to be registered today was dodgy.

Hence why Vicroads wants to see it, and if its dodgy, they'll take the car on the spot :(

It happened with my brothers VY SS ute. There was a car in Perth that had the chassis number recorded incorrectly from the very start. The car was sold to a new owner and they tried t oregister it. The numbers where 2 digits different, but some how they were recorded the same. He took his car to Vicroads, they inspected it and gave him the all clear. They contacted him the next day to let him know that the other car's vin number was recorded incorrectly.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
