Yeah the defect happned on stud road rowville just outside stud park.

Anyways i went into knox police station the other day to see if i could get it extended and the guy made a few phone calls and told me the only person who could extend it was Pettit himself, turns out pettit is on Holidays till the 3rd so from the 28th to the 3rd there is not a hell of a lot i can do about it,

My skyline is a S1.5 with drivers airbag, not having much luck finding a engineer working though the chrismas break, a guy in eltham from Torque Torque apparently does alot of work with imports. but he isnt back till the 15th of Jan.

Does anyone know of a Wreckers in the eastern suburbs where i can pick up a front Rio bar which i stupidly cut (now obviously have to replace.

The up side of the Defect is that i dont have to get a RWC just the V.A.S.S cert. two back tires and a new front number plate.

Thanks for the Help

what was wrong with your number plate?

The number plate had been previously cut in one or 2 of the corners hardly even noticable, it was even like that when i bought the car so it must of passed the Roadworthy back then not sure that the laws have changed about having a tiny bit of number plate missing.

The law never changed. It's just some people aren't as anal about it.

Biggest crock of shit ever. Once pettet reports it its not in his power to allow you an extention. That has to be sorted with the EPA. So give the EPA a call and ask them.

This is the sort of stuff I want to hear at christmas, not.

Fair enough you have some illegal mods but he gave you that defect knowing damn well you were gonna have one hell of a time finding an engineer at this time of year, he gave me 3 weeks at least when I got done.

Anyway hope you get it sorted.

The defect is, he didnt say anything about EPA here...

VASS does not cover RWC

VASS are approving vehicle modifications/integrity, the general road worthyness of the car (basic things like oil leaks, boots, etc etc) are what your local VicRoads approved mechanic does.

Is it at all possible to bypass the VASS certificate,

because it looks like the only way its going to get done is if i put the SMIC back in and take my car to a panel beaters to get the hole welded in and painted over the top Thus by passing the VASS?

does anyone know if this is correct? Because from what i have been told a S1.5 with drivers airbag will no way get a VASS certificate because of air bag sensor so getting a VASS is really not an option for me Except on the infringment it says VASS certificate must be supplied to remove the defect, im so confused about the whole situation.

if you've been noted down for a VASS, id fully imagine you'd need to get one.

Fixing the problem is half the step, getting the VASS to prove you have fixed the problem is the next step

A panel beater isn't a VASS engineer, nor can they issue one

If you read the link on the first page, which is again below, it covers it.

I don't understand what's confusing you. You know you need to get it fixed, you know you need a VASS.

So what's still the issue exactly?

Well i was confused about deff needing a Vass, But i called Vicroads and a guy there told me that i can put it back to stock and get something in writing from the panel beater saying the hole has been covered up thus no longer needing a VASS which is what i thought.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
