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

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
