hahahha yeah took it back, the asian lady that served me was so confused. I kept asking to see her manager and she kept going "what for?" eventually the branch manager overheard and came towards me and apologised with the other plate in her hand.

On the rego sticker it has the the rear plate as being correct. I'm going to see those idiots on Saturday morning to get it sorted. Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to charge me a fee for new plates. Watch me rage lol

I'd leave them on for sure, Let the RTA deal with it.

bloddy useless bunch, Everytime i call a government body, Actaully anyone, I call 3 times minimum with the same question, You will find 90% of the time you get 3 diffrent answers and procedures to complete something.

Call the RTA and tell them how you go about rego/ blue slip for a car thats had rego laspe and a engine conversion in the meantime.

Now thats what i call confussing, especailly when they transfer you to the " tenchincal team" who i was told deal with engine conversions ect every day.

They just read out a list of RTA approved mechanics

sorry, RMS.......still a useless bunch

I went to get a defect cleared on my cousins Volvo last week, the rego lapsed and the lady said that when the rego lapses the defect clears. She said it in such a tone too, as if I was an idiot for not knowing. I had to spend 5 mins convincing her that the defect was still applicable.

Where do they find these stupid, ill-tempered people to work at the RTA?

It all comes down to the fact that there's so much red tape in government bodies, that people can do whatever they like and will never be sacked.

Core hours of 10 to 3pm, countless coffee breaks, flexi time, tea money, you name it they've got it.

And I know all this cause my crazy ex is a government employee! :closedeyes:

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
