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.

You would be wrong here, an officer can tell you what vicroads to get it cleared at. If they want to make life hard, they could have put Mildura.

In most cases they right ANY (vicroads) in this section, but nothing stops them from put a certain vicroads.

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.

Your correct, if a VASS is stated as required then you need one. it won't be cleared without it.

And yes an officer can require one on a defect notice.

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!

Yes they do.

So the police. As stupid as some can be are qualified to ask you to get a vass certificate? That's f**ked up. Before any cop does a check on your car ask them if they have completed the according training and have the certificate with then that they can do a rwc check. Has caught out a few cops in my time :) they cbf calling tmu so I left.

Cops don't need to do any training to issue defects, as soon as they are cops they can.

No one carry's the certificate, as its not required and anyway as its an A4 sheet of paper, so its not that easy to carry :rolleyes:

i can see the defect bit, and the conditions of use of the vehicle part, what about the right to request a vass certificate

Here it is, under Road Safety (Vehicles) Regulations 2009 section 257 http://www.austlii.e...09309/s257.html

257 Use of modified vehicles

(1) A person must not use on a highway a vehicle that has been modified from the condition in which it

was in when first registered unless the modification—

(a) has the Corporation's approval; or

(b) has been carried out in accordance with guidelines published by the Corporation

which are available—

(i) at the offices of the Corporation; or (ii) on the internet website of the

Corporation.

Penalty: 5 penalty units.

(2) The Corporation must not give its approval to or in respect of a vehicle modification if the vehicle no longer complies with the standards for registration unless the Corporation proposes to register the vehicle under regulation 30(1).

The Corporation approval means a VASS certificate

Guideline published by the corporation means VSI (vehicle standards information)

I can't prove this more then this, without releasing internal documents which I not allowwed to do.

But trust me, I do this for a living, I'm giving you the correct information, I have no reason to lie to you. If you really want to check call the the police general number and ask to speak to the Vehicle safety testing centre and ask them.

You own me a beer sometime for digging this stuff up.:thumbsup: as I'm doing it on my own time to help you.

And yes the cop may be was a bit tough on you, bit you did know that you were breaking the law. as it's said "do the crime, do the time"

i believe you mate i was just after something written in regards to vass i couldnt find anything

Yeah no problems, I'm happy to help if I can.

The information I posted was from the Victorian police Vehicle Safety Manual, but I can't post it up.

I know it doesn't spell it out in laymans terms but thats is where it relates.

What the cop has done is right, maybe a little harsh? I can't say as I wasn't there! but what he has done is not outside his powers.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
