Anyone paid their rego late? 2 Regos due this month, neither cars are on the road.

Vicroads website says you can pay rego up to 3 months after it expires, you're just not allowed to drive it until you do. Anyone done this?

Yeah I've done this for a car I wasn't using. You can leave it lapsed for 3 months before you need to re-register with a RWC. Until that 3 months you can just pay it at any time as you normally would...however...it doesn't extend the registration period so if you pay after 2 months you only get 10 months rego out of it :(

drive it unregistered anyway but keep a kg of ice in the boot and a hand gun in the glovebox. they wont worry about the rego if you get pulled up.

Just don't do what a mate of mine from uni did...

Left it for 2 months, drove it anyway... got flashed by a red light camera after getting stuck behind a truck in a turning lane and didn't see the light changing....

$$$$$$ Unregistered Vehicle fine

The better part of $1500, didn't see him at any of the Uni Bar nights for the next few months after that

lol unregistered fine is exactly the cost of rego, have to hand it to them it's incentive enough to register...but sucks for people who haven't received notices and now the stickerless system there is no easy reminder of when it's due.

I'm told you can register on VicRoads to get sms reminders of it.

I copped a fine for unregistered driving but I paid rego on the spot while the cop was there (she wouldn't let me drive off unless I paid it then and there), then sent a letter to civ compliance pleading ignorance (it was true I hadn't received any rego reminder in the mail) and they let me off = save $700 worth of fine.

Hmm wheel decisions. Work Emotion CR Kai bronze (second hand), R34 GTR wheels (second hand) or MP37s (brand new with new tyres)? All should cost me between $1,500 - $2,000.

Here's a picture comparison:

MP37 (same style, not genuine TE37's)

manufacturer built a char grill for us, all compliant to AGA standards. arrives at the site with no flame failure(a mandatory requirement, selling them without this = a huge fine), company refuses to fit it, AGA gets involved... now we wait.

While I agree NOT building a road for the better part of a billion dollars is a completely retarded idea... you do realise that report also says the contracts shouldn't have been signed in the first place right? it's even in the headline...

In any case we probably wouldn't need another 92 schools if Kennet hadn't closed and sold off 350 ;)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
