funniest thing was it was on my way to work i was on my way outside the carpark LOLL :( so close yet so far.

Man that sucks!

Anyways guys, my defect is now cleared ($517 later).

Went back to vicroads and they had trouble finding the certificate again!! They eventually found it on the system, stamped my defect and said have a nice day.

No more strange looks at my car now with the yellow sticker gone. I think to onlookers, a defect sticker gives them the impression you are a criminal and/or serial killer/rapist

Hey guys,

I've been talking to Pettett via email. The guy is quite friendly and he is more than happy to answer any questions in regards to modification.

yeah... quite freindly... kinda like a guy f**king you in the ass and then giving you a reacharound

just a thought not being cocky or anything.

they only reason why the engineers don't sign off on the airbagged skylines is because it hasnt been tested ? wouldnt it be so much easier to get like a fund drive to get like 1-2 r33's or 34's and put front mounts in them and crash em and see if they change the impact and shit.

would it matter if its turbo or na ?

could get some race only skylines imported slap some front mounts on crash em with an engineer next to u or whatever then they coudl see and would sign off to all the intercoolers being on ?

just a option.

They cant do anything if your not in the car.

i know its a bit late but had to pick up on this one. i was at trade school one day when the cops did a sweep through at lunch time, when nobody was around, heaps of people (me included) came back to find a sweet canary on the windscreen with a sealed packet that contained the list of things wrong. cops were long gone before anyone came back. c*nts (in all fairness my car was a fair nugget tho lol)

honestly everyone knows that its a defect so YOU will have to fix it. I'm not sure if you might go speak to the machnic that issued the RWC and make him pay the bill as he has passed it for RWC when the car is defected

Well mate this might come as a surprise but i actually did not know that its a defect since its the first modified car that i have ever purchased.. and none of my mates have cars with front mount intercoolers so had no idea about the hole cutting in the battery tray..

Even if i have to fix it, does anyone know of any engineers around the South Eastern suburbs where i can go to get this done?

Cheers..

Hi,

I really do feel your pain my friend.

Call Tony at 'TGS Muscle Cars', in Cochranes Rd, Moorabbin.

He has (had) access to a great engineer who helped my brother and I out with this same issue...a little over a year ago.

I hope this helps....you can only find out!

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
