Something another forum member brought up reminded me.

I see quite a few of these VICROADS vans on the way to work. Usually I believe they check out trucks, so I never paid them any attention, but has anyone been pulled over and inspected by one of these things? Does anyone apart from the cops have the right to?

Thanks.

i was under the intention that the vicroads cars can pull u up but focus more on the trucks/heavy vehicles

and the police focus mainly on cars

but still can pull you up if they wanted to, its vicroads they are the ones that have all the rules for the legalities on anything on the road in victoria so im guessing yeh they could and it would be a lot worse than the police pulling you up

You might find them however when they do the big defect stations.

Where the have everyone from Police, EPA, VicRoads to the VTD and immigration people checking taxi's (which i found to be amusing at the time)

I've seen it on Dandy Rd before near caufield... massive operation.

Although who was looking @ what, i dont know.

AFAIK.... You are not required to pull over for anyone till you are sure, and believe it to be safe (or something along those lines). So interpret that as you will. ;)

I once made a cop drive for 1.5k with lights and sirens on, to my house before i 'pulled over' in my drive way.... before he could read me his right act. ;)

Oh and i'm working where they turn normal Chooktins and Commondoors into Police cars ATM (i saw the Girl's Blouse H3's getting their lights and stickers get put on).... and they have a few VW transporter vans and utes in the "to do queue". Along with countless other cars that aren't designed to turn corners. :D

I'll try and get some sneaky pics tomorrow. :)

VicRoads vans are not for breakdowns on citylink...

Citylink has their own vans for breakdowns and so on. Its covered by the tolls you pay id imagine

got tail gated by vic roads Dandy one time, was thinking to my self EPA for exhuast,

but the van in front of me was pouring out black smoke, vic roads sped up got infront of me purple lights on for the van.

worked with a guy who thought it would be a good idea to take his ICE decked out wagon to industrial area and pump music and skate around the area.

security doing his shifts told them to stop and leave, they just gave him cheek, he asked them two more times, and they got angry and vocaly abused him.

security guy called Vic roads and explained, they came down with tool's issued them a 'sound polution notice' and took out his head unit ....party over

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
