Hey guys, i had my second run in with the boys in blue tonight got done for a few things :P

One thing that has me a bit stumped is i got done for having something done to the area where my back speakers are.

i bought the car like that, and the policeman goes you'll need a engineers cert for that.

I asked him what the problem was and apparently they had to make room for the speakers or something and that it could affect my car during a crash if i get hit from behind or something like that???

Anyway how much do those things roughly set one back? i looked at a few of the nsw threads about it but prices may vary here?

Any help apprciated!

Engineers are $500, you'll probably need to replace your parcel shelf if it has sections missing, ie bits have been cut out to make room for the speakers.

My car came with the most poxy "custom built" parcel shelf made of two pieces of chip board sitting on each other. I've built a schmik replacement that's as tight as a nun's ****, could I get dicked for that? :confused:

engineers reports vary in price from each engineer/workshop to the type of modification/car... i dunno how you guys came up with these figures..

get a list of vicroads certified engineers and ring them all up to discuss your issue and the best price...

i called up about 6 engineers whose numbers i got from vicroads and the cheapest i found was $660

If you can find cheaper please point me in the right direction.

What does it exactly say on the canary notice and fine u got?

Does it say full roadworthy needed?

I would be checking exactly what they wrote you up for coz he might have said u need an engineers report for your parcel shelf but didnt write it officially down. Wouldnt want to go wasting your $$ on something you dont need. You should get the parcel shelf fixed properly but may not need to pay an engineer to look at it for 10 mins and charge you alot of $$. They charge so much for their signature because if you are in an accident and they investigate and find the item they signed off for was faulty they will get reamed, so they are just covering their asses.

I was told a bunch of crap when i got done years ago but all they wrote was I needed a full roadworth. When the roadworthy was done they didnt worry about any of the crap i was verbally told, and when you hand in the paperwork at vicroads they couldnt care less either.

i got done for:

Ground Clearance - my cars to low.. fair enough :)

Tyres (2) - they are 89v or something when they need to be 90v or above, load rating or something?

Tyres (1) - front drivers side had a bald strip along the inside of my tyre cause car needs to be aligned which is fair enough

Structural changes (parcel tray) - VASS certificate to be supplied

Front End alignment - to be realigned

*plus i have a condition written down than i'm not allowed to drive in the wet until i change my tyres. which is also fair enough.

so its gonna be very pricey :D

some years ago(actually longtime ago) i had my datsun engineered by a workshop in carumm downs...think they were called 'Protek'...

they were the cheapest back then and were a nice bunch of guys, but i am not sure if they are still supplying reports...see if they are on the list.

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
