I need clear the defect before 24th Feb. if I keep driving the car and any blue boys pull me over before 24th Feb, I will get another defect for the same reason? or I just tell them I had one defect already then they won't give me another one again?

mate from what i know youll cop a fine for driving a defected vehicle

i think you gotta go to vicroads and get a temporary rego to drive it

hey i gotta question for you

do you need to get a full roadworthy or do you just have to fix what they said was unroadworthy and where do you have to take it

i think its depending on wat the defect is for, i would not recommend driving it though. What area was the defect given in?

As for the above question- if its a major its a full rwc otherwise for a minor just the items picked

you only fix what they said was unroadworthy, that's fine, and go to vic road and clear it before the date coming.

yeah thats no good to me cause i bought a car that was supposed to be registered and on the way home find out it had a canary put on it when the previous owner lent it to a friend and that friend didnt tell him so i dont when the date was but i found out its for the intercooler, pod filter and boost gauge i didnt know intercoolers and boost gauge were unroadworthy

intercooler and pod filter, u only can have one. all air intake system, max u can modified is one part, if u modified two parts from the air intake system, its illegal.

man, every time if u has been defected or pull overed, don't just get the fine and go away, ask any question about ur car to police. make sure u know what they are thinking. then you will know what they don't like.

I just asked my friend, he said if your car had minor,u can stick the yellow paper on ur windscrean, and u won't get any reasonable defect again before the deadline date.

the defect notice has a date which is usually 7 days after being issued. After then you can only drive ur car to the mechanics and no daily usage. U can call vic roads for an extension if u need more time but the last time I called them for an extension the girl said u actually get a 2 week grace period after the 7 days expires. Dunno if that's still in effect but call vicroads if need be.

Bottom line is don't get caught driving after the 7 days unless ur heading to a mechanic otherwise u will cop another fine

it wont be 2 months - it'll be 24th Jan, not Feb.

true that. U can get ur car raised easy. Traction Tyree and suspension in rowville did my car when I was defected for height not long ago. $140 for raise n all wheel allignment pretty cheap

yeh thing that suprised me most is time frame how'd u even get till the 24th of jan? u mean cops actually took into consideration everyone is closed at the moment? i'd have expected them to relish the thought of making you be off the road for agess unable to drive..

bad luck though but if you got coilovers its easy.

wanzi - there is no grace period you can use the car for upto a 1 month after the 7 days provided its for the purpose of to and from mechanic/repairs or vicroads themselves. after this they MAY suspend your rego.

that game from a lady from vicroads I spoke to while I was defected. Maybe she just meant unofficially as in not in the laws but they won't mind. Either way she let me get away with it

Surprise surprise...operation RAID again. However, to be fair to the cops , what did they get you for?

Operation Remove All Impaired Drivers is aimed at removing Impaired Drivers, as the name would suggest.

Isn't it something else that is on at the moment that is a blitz on ALL un-roadworthy cars?

If you have a minor for too low, you could still get a major for something else if the Officer finds something and deems it suitable for a Major defect, so do not think you are immune to a defect notice as you already have one.

They could also add to your existing defect could they not?

Don't know if you have read my other thread. However, even if they've defected you before...they can, fine you $292 again and again and again and again and again if they feel like it. In other words, even if you're defected with a yellow canary on your windscreen OR you've recently cleared it with Vicroads with a full RWC, they can still dick you if they feel like it. It's farked.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
