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

aww if it was front plate u would have been gold

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:

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
