Hey guys I sold my car to a mate with and outstanding canary and epa on it (illegal I know) anyhow today he got the car re-registered without claering the EPA notice, eventhough I've had a few on the car before.. At VicRoads we were told because the car came with a current RWC all defects on teh car had been cleared including EPA notices.. I've never heard of this before but it seems since VIcroads are allowing it.. Cancelling rego's and getting an RWC for the car could prove a cheaper option than getting an EPA especially if you have a lot of work one.

Has anyone else heard of or seen this happen??

Its usually flagged on the system

I had my chassis # flagged for my EPA...

You must have just had a lucky day is all that comes down too

Certainly doesn't happen often, and that loop hole (as you could do it legally a while ago) was closed.

Whoever you had must have been new, or the EPA wasn't clearly entered in the first place, the fine is substantial so if they check records later and come back to you... you might be in quite a spot of bother

Yeah was nice.. I went down with him to register it though and told them it had an outstanding EPA the chic said it usually means the car can't be registered however she went and spoke to someone senior and he said aslong as it passed a RWC the car was fine to be registered as all defects would be cleared..so it's not like it was a newbie or something..

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
