hi everybody,

I am new to the forums, and recently purchased a r34 gtt, fresh off the boat.

I now have a rwc for the car, but i know the mech has overlooked a few things like the standard xenons, dark window tint, and other stuff like that. apart from that the car is completely stock.

my question is, when i take the car to vicroads (sunshine), will they still perform a thorough inspection of the vehicle, eg. get it up on the hoist or will they simply czech the vin and the stickers and papers etc etc.

i know that in the past thats all they would do, but now apparently they are "comming down" on imports, and that they love knocking back skylines like 16 year olds with fake i.d's

another thing ive heard is that some offices are more lenient than others, geelong being easy, and sunshine being strict.

i took my freshly imported chaser to Dandenong vic roads with dark tints and factory xenons still connected. all they checks was if all numbers match and the paper works. checked the tyres and tyre placard and thats it.

i dont think they do an inspection where they put it up on a hoist and all that

agree...all they checked was the numbers of my car...i did mine in dandenong too.. :P .but i did hear other places put em up on hoist too like the one in burwood i think...close to that area...there they are very very strict....my mate with a 34gtt didnt pass coz he had one of the nismo gear knob...and they did put his car on the hoist.... :D

dont go to burwood then lol. i got mine registered at Broadmedows and she was great, she made sure all the numbers are correct and all the stickers are where they should be. filled out the forms and got my numberplates and rego sticker and i was done, all in just over 30 mins. and i still have the factory xenon's and a couple other things.

Seymour is heaps better for us..... so laid back :P

i was hoping sunbury would do it but they dont do imports so i had to call up to make an appointment and she said the closest ones were Broady or Seymour, so obviously i went Broady. you could rock up to Seymour with your car scraping the ground and your wheels poking out of the wheel arches and they will pass it no problem lol.

the one annoying thing with vicroads was having to pay to make the appointment it was 35 bux or something like that, thats just gay in my opinion.

Hi Guys,

Would anyone be able to lend me some rims/wheels or just rims and i can organise wheels for my R33 GTR.

Tried to get rego on Friday with my 18"s on but didnt get through because of the 18" rims. The next test is on Tuesday 17th August so if anyone could give me a txt on 0423 082 360 i would really appreciate it. Im from Melbourne in Northern Suburbs. I need 17" wheels.

Also which might help, I know its been posted in other forum topics and I have been reading them. But just to confirm what other car rims should fit the 33gtr. Would the 33gtst with 17"s fit? or 34gtt?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Adam

This VicRoads, that VicRoads, who cares. Depending on the person doing the inspection is the major issue. Their mood of the day probably means more than anything else.

Same as the courts of Australia, totally dependant of the moody a$$hat behind the desk.

The actual place is not much of a concern really.

I've heard people get through here/there, and people failing the next month @ the very same place for nothing.

Pick somewhere and go. You pass, lucky, you dont' - thats just how it goes.

That said i did mine @ Frankston, 10mins in/out. Just checked the VIN & Engine numbers matched with the engineers cert/RWC.

Burwood vicroads does not have a hoist only an inspection bay.... so there is not possible chance of being checked on a hoist.

its always about person you get though. i always go to burwood sometimes i get some tosser then i just got back in line an pray i dont get same person again since alot of them are quiet dumb when it comes to defects.. works most of the time. although i have seen dandy are fairly easy. like Ash said. its based on luck.

cleared a defect on fellow SAU members R33 ages ago.. the chick had to check front parkers but instead she checked the rear brake lights.. so im sure your bound to be fine with inspection

I have taken all my cars there and never had a problem, although i do know that there is one particular guy there that knows his shit and hates mdified cars so he always looks more closely at them.

LOL we must have got the same girl. When I got minor defected for headlights (HIDs) she didn't even ask me to turn them on for her, just looked at the headlight glass and marked it off. Asked me what I got defected for, I said HID lights...she said "what are they?" :ermm: Might as well have left my HIDs in...

Conversely, she made a note that my front parkers were slightly different in colour to each other and that this is a defectable item...

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
