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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
