i just googled kew vicroads and found this:

Note: The following two offices are administrative offices only and do not conduct registration and licensing transactions.

Kew Head Office

60 Denmark Street

Kew, Victoria 3101

what is this magical place eeek

It's where the head engineers are.

They don't do licensing etc as stated. If you call up to speak to a VicRoads Engineer, that's the place you end up at over the phone.

But yes, either way just go get a RWC and drive upto ANY VicRoads.

IMO the officer is in the wrong and cannot specify which VicRoads you need to attend as any defect can be cleared at ANY VicRoads.

It's sheerly administrative.

Hi im from SAU, put it back to stock, cos its legal, you must do it. Cos its legal. Please Obide the law or you deserve to be punished. If you try and do anything illegal i will think badly of you. So don't even put an exhaust on your car. OK?

haha i see what you did there

in a nut shell what r31nismoid said but still dont forget your lube. Also keeping in mind if the copper that if the copper pulled you over in your local area he is prob going to pul you over everytime he sees you now.

really.....? i've been reading your posts for a long time now and i thought you were somehow posting here from boostcruising

Theres not things wrong, he just wrote on the defect vass certificate required and I have to clear it by special appointment with this bloke PLUS rwc required ffs. Obviously I'll take it there stock and road worthy only thing I'm worried about is the hole under the battery tray.

Does anyone know if with a RWC to clear a defect do the specific defect items need to be stated on the roadworthy as fixed?

In theory you'd assume so.

However VicRoads don't care. Sometimes they wont even ask to see the car.

Just give them the RWC, hand in defect - cleared and drive home.

Just depends on the person on the day if they actually want to inspect it, but no, i wouldnt see a reason to require the specific things listed.

I know a place where they do RWC for $80, 97949394, Vincent from Dandenong. (Not a dodgey RWC)

Most places do them for that price, some cheaper ($65-$70)

My overall pricing was 200/300 simply because id take a stab the car isn't 100% perfect.

Most cars aren't. Steering rack leaks and so on are common.

If they have put on there VASS required, Vicroads wont clear the defect until you get the certificate. The VASS engineers might be picky with other mods you have.

i know cops have the authority to defect a car based on an observation of unroadworthiness and the right to report you to the EPA based on an observation of the car being below emmisions standards .... but i wonder if they have the right to order a vass engineers certificate!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
