A mate of mine today went to get RWC for his car and he failed because there was like a tiney amount of rust on the front and rear passenger door. Were talking like 5c coin sizes. I was just wondering why does rust fail the RWC, I dont see how it effects the vehicle on the Road and when I did my RWC a couple of days ago I dont recall seing a box that said anything about rust.

So any info would be great on this because I'm also looking at buying another car and the guy said it has some minor rust.

Cheers,

Aleks

There is a way though... if he doesnt want to properly fix the rust right now just use bog and spray paint it so no visible rust = RWC

Happened to me ages ago and was told as long as there's no visible rust should be fine for RWC

Your last three threads in the QLD section...

Just putting it out there... Soz but I cant hold it in anymore...

(edit) change that to last four threads...

Whats wrong with them, I need information. And they are not all related. I know I asked for a RWC and now the rust issue, but its not related its for two separate vehicles. 1 car I have now (thats the one that went for the RWC), The other is owned by a friend and then when I went to look at another car to buy as project it had some rust on it, and my mate was telling me that his one failed the road worthy because it had rust, so I just wanted to check what the rules are around that area. The car I was looking at wasn't registered so I presumed it would need to be towed, but apparently you can get a on day rego.

So tell me o wise one what is so retarded about my posts? We cant all be smart like you COL and build 300KW monsters and know everything about everything and every rule and towing company in QLD. So sorry if my posts were retarded to you.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
