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 ;)

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
