just read the whole thread ? ... did it pass and get the all clear ?

mines a neater set up, wouldn't mind having that contact number in my phone ?

Hi RB...we find out tmrw morning...should be safe to say that we'll get it sorted.

We'll give you all the details tmrw, and hopefully some scans and more pics....stay tuned!

lol good one ash.

even with a black cooler he will still see the nice crome pipe heading towards a battery.

i'll check back tomorrow for a result, but still stay clear of knox city area, thank god my dad moved from there

nah man i painted everything black. all the piping and the cooler :)

Luke, did pettet give you a fine along with the defect?

Hey mate.

Nah no fine just the defect. Only thought you get fined on a major?

In any case, i think a VASS + Road worthy is way worse than a fine.

hey guys just wondering where this prick of a cop partols, dose he just do rowville??

Hey.

Pretty sure he patrols from knox city (Burwood highway upto the knoxfield shops) all the way down to Rowville past stud park. I could be wrong though. Has anyone spotted him in a different suburb other than Wantirna South, Rowville and surrounding areas?

cops can issue an unroadworthy vehicle fine along with the defect. He gave me a nice $200 fine with my defect which consisted of rear centre brake light, horn and wrong tyre load ratings :P

Maybe he stopped issuing fines now? lol

If you guys can find someone to road worthy your car after getting defected even though you have a cooler pipe going under your battery tray. Get the roadworthy and take it to camberwell vicroads. They dont have an inspection bay so they will take the road worthy (even if you didnt need to get one in the first place) and clear the defect without ever looking at the car. Just another option, i have done this 3 times now. Some times its easier not to get a roadworthy but sometimes it is. Depends on what you get defected for and how easy going your mechanic is.

In all honesty, i've learnt the following so far:

Fix the problem, make the car legal and keep the cops happy. It's less to worry about, this is what i think anyway.

Well off to bed for me, need to get up nice and early to take the car to the engineer.

Finding a RW tester to give you RWC when you have a defect notice on your car would be a big ask. I know there are testers out there that do dodgy RWC but in most cases they do it for change over so there is less chance of being busted. If by some chance you found someone to give you a dodgy RWC the main problem will still be there( THE HOLE ) . And as soon as this cop spots that white 34 he will say to himself mmm.. I will see if he fixed the defect. Coz he will..

And he will pop the bonnet and say the hole is still there . And the owner will say i have a RWC and the cop will say COOL and here is another Defect notice.And your back to square 1 again and the tester will loose his licence so ya cant go see him again.

I would pull off the cooler fix the hole so it looks like new . Then pick up a different cooler . So this problem will be finished with.

Good luck.

Cheers...

Well guys everything looks OK.

Had the engineer look over everything this morning and he provided a VASS certificate without a problem.

Also had the car road worthied without any problems.

I'll probably head down to VicRoads today to have everything cleared.

If you need any info, please send a PM to me or 'superspit'

Yes but will fixing the hole really make the car roadworthy? Just all comes down to how picky the road worthy guy is. I have been defected 6 times now and everytime i have had a hole in the side of my battery with a "chrome" pipe going straight through it but never been defected for it. 4 of those times i got a roadworthy with the hole still there and passed each time. The other 2 times i didnt need a road worthy so i took it to burwood vicroads and some guy came out and checked the whole car over and was extremely picky (he even checked things i wasnt defected for in the first place and took photos of the whole car). But he let me leave with a whole in the battery tray because its infront of the chassis rails and not "structual". Heaps of guys out there have holes in the battery tray and have never been done for it. If you want to get the hole fixed and buy a return flow cooler im not gonna try and talk you out of it. Its the smart idea. Its just luck of the draw what cop you get and what mood he's in.

Oops just saw the last post lol. How much did it cost to get engineered?

And was he just engineering the hole being fixed up?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
