Might be different in Vic but in NSW (a few years ago now) my mate had his rego cancelled because he did what Alex said, failed 1st inspection at joe bloggs, went elsewhere failed again, went back to the 1st place and passed, 5-6 months later he got a letter saying his rego was cancelled due to a failed inspection at the 2nd place, because different things were wrong/listed with the car compared to the 1st inspection (joe bloggs), So he had to get the car re-inspected.

hope that makes sense...there are losts of 1st place 2nd place in there.

Whether he was just unlucky and someone clued on at the RTA office stumbled across it or they actually go looking for it I don't know, but it can happen.

Does it?

then why did my lenient place, just write "2nd inspection" on the form with the stuff "rectified" when i did the rego transfer for my 32R? is it different for defects?

Depends who you go to, most places i have been to do it that too, its more so you get more time to fix stuff, you have 14 or 28 days if they fill out the proper rwc paperwork, if they just give you a piece of paper and fill the rwc paperwork on your final inspection there is no time limit.

Also beware of getting 2 rwc's where the paper work has been filled out on the first inspection, i know of one person who got a call from vic roads because they wanted to inspect his car assuming that the second one was dodgy.

Yeah, i understand what you mean.

Looks like the OP's experience with the popo hasn't been particularly pleasant.

umm since when are coilovers illegal? Considering that 'coilovers' is just a fancy name for spring and shock absorbers, sounds a lot like hearsay to me unless someone can prove otherwise.

No mention of coilovers in this document, just keep it at the legal height and you will be fine.

when they are jap tein that are not adr approved

also any coilover that has a lower adjustable perch such as tein flex

as far as your document doesnt mention coilovers,that doesnt mean anything

No vicroads document mentions you cannot take off your steering wheel and weld a shifter on there in place,i guess that must be ok then lol

My car has been through a couple of road worthies in its time and has never been done for the coilovers.

I guess every workshop is like a box of chocolates you never know what your gonna get inside :D

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
