Hey this may be nothing but i thought i would ask if anyone knows anything about it.

A woman my mum works with owns an imported car, a mazda or mitsubishi anyways she got a letter from vic roads telling her that she has to take her car an rta or something inspector to inspect the car and make sure its up to australian standards, she has had the car for ages so i dont know what is goin on ...

As far as I know over the past couple of years vicroads and eqiv. have been trying cracking down on dodgy importers who don't complete the car compliance properly. I think if they find one they send out letters to a random selection of cars that have gone thru the workshop to ensure the compliance has been done correctly.

If anyone with some authority can confirm this it would be great.......

if anyone gets one of those letters take that letter and throw it straight in the bin....if they threaten to cancel the reg call them and tell them if they require the car to bring a hire car to your place of employment and collect you car from there and thats the last you will hear about it

hehe nice.

Noted down

It would have to do with being imported as mentioned by ant95GTR. I have a friend who was asked to bring his Prelude in because the place who imported where doing dodgys and using the same compliance details for several cars

btw what happened to that thread with your claimed 1000Nm of torque at the back wheels??? :flamed:

...just to clarify a minor detail - the RTA has NOT existed in victoria for over 10 years, they have been called Vic Roads since about 1991 I think, RTA still exists interstate but not here [Road Traffic Authority] I dont understand why people still call them that :confused:

yes perhaps. I think its a sign of ageing when you can't keep up with the times :cheers:

My dad worked at Telecom for 18 years, up until about 1989/90 but left before it became telstra - so its always been easy for me to remember...

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
