FYI

When I went to get my 4x4 import recently registered all they checked was the engine and vin numbers. I could have had anything in there they wouldnt have cared as they rely on the roadworthy for all those checks.

When I was there, there were 3 woman doing the checks and the 1 that did my car didnt even know what car it was and where the engine number was even after I showed here 3 times she couldnt see it and finially just gave up and said it was ok.

I was going to get a modded r32 from a guy in sydney and bring it down here, but the thing that turned me off was the fact that even if he got a pink/blue/red/etc slip for it up there, i would still have to unregister it and then re-register it in Vic, going through the hassle of trying to get a RWC.

getting the RWC shouldnt be a drama for me... its what happens at vicroads after i get my RWC that im worried about........ if i get done in at the inspection, with a RWC, the garage that issued the RWC is gonna be in some hot water.. thats definately not what i would want....

id need to get one of the 3 chick inspectors for sure.......... as long as they only check numbers should be ok..

well dont get a dodgy one and no-one gets in trouble.

common sense really.

Vic Roads have had a major crackdown on dodgy RWC's in the last 12 months or so.

I know a lot of mechanics that have lost thier License for RW Inspection for 2 years

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
