Hi guys, unfortunately i ran into some really bad luck, was driving towards taylors rd from east esplanade in st.albans, turning left coming up from under the bridge, saw bunch of cops thought "hey its prob just an RBT", when i got closer it turned out to be a vehicle inspection :P , too low, too loud, oil catch can with a breather? <LOL, need to remove boost controller, BOV and Pod. the car was under my brothers name rego'd in sydney, dont know if anyone else been in a similar position with interstate rego before? its my first time defected & dont know how it works down in melb.

General consensus, just rip off the sticker. Why would you get a RWC and report to Vicroads?

I also saw this defect station, too bad for the cops that my car is already defected. lol. :P

RB Powa: Your correct Vic Roads do check over everyhting in the inspection bay.

IOWNU: You would take it to Vicroads so they dont suspend your registration. They have to check over everything and make sure you have made the changes requested by Police. Pretty Cool you have a defected car already, wish I was that sick.

thanks for the info guys. this sucks never thought they could defect interstate cars, & didnt think they would have a vehicle inspection on the road, first time seeing this sh*t.

Never seen one of these on the road, but im scared.

So what do they actually check/how etc. Can you explain in detail please. Cheers.

no, they cannot defect you for the SAME thing.

however if say you were done for... stuffed headlight, ride height

and then a week later had bald tyres, you can cop one for that... and fair enough too IMO

Cops generally don't do this. They don't list all the defects even if they are obvious (in my case big turbo, blow off, cooler, pod). All they do is list few (in my case too low) and tick RWC required. RWC covers the lot, so no point in giving a 10 point defect list, waste of time.

So getting a defect on top of exisitng one makes no sense to me UNLESS, they fine you, or change the conditions of the defect ie, bring the car the cop shop for inspection.

VIC ROADS cannot suspend the rego of a car registered in NSW, might try reading previuos posts again.

They do pick a lot of things at times, the point of this is as you pointed out you have a big top mount and everything else, if they pick all of these things then vic roads will be checking EVERYTHING listed on the defect before they clear it, if they dont know that any of this stuff was on there previously then its easier to cover it up with smaller changes as vic roads wont be looking at those areas.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
