Urgent RWC
hey guys, this may or may not be the right place for this question,
basically a mate has a VE wagon, got a roadworthy about 2 months ago and got everything fixed to get it transferred into his name, since then he lowered it and got his cam and everything done, and the roadworthy has expired,
being irs it is rather time consuming and stuff to lift it back up, and not sure wether or not the cam will pass roady?
the car is definately safe for roads, (as you would expect for a new model car) but just need it urgently as we were planning on the crusie for charity this weekend,
preferrably in south eastern suburbs of victoria,
pm me please,
thanks

So what do you want?
A dodgey rwc?
Why do you need a roady anyway if the car was rwc 2 months ago?
Are you saying your mate got it rwc then proceeded to mod boefore transferring it into his name?

being kind:

If it's safe for the roads then why does he need to lift it up for a roadworthy???.

I am not sure what you are requesting? Are you asking someone do a dodgy for you? If so I suggest a read of the site rules is in order. If not, then the yellow pages would be a good start. Loads of great mechanics out SE Melb way.

Not dodgey, just someone that isn't as thorough,
He did the silly thing of modding it before transferring it

throw stock springs back and the cam should pass a certain mod on here has a cammed car that must have recently passed a rwc considering he bought it that way.
Finding a dodgey these days would be difficult with new rwc that have come in

so........
a dodgie?
a work mate used <NAME REMOVED> in pakenham, i dunno how much they will overlook as they can get in heaps of shit for letting cars go illegally.
don't like your chance with the cam, your mate's a spaz for not transferring ownership in the given time. should be the first thing you do when you buy any vehicle

I guess it depends, being a ve i guess its not as likely to have old car wear and tear, and it also depends on how modified it is. for example, if its "slammed" 5% tint, loud exhaust, modified wheels, and just mods in general that will attract attention and raise eyebrows when it passes then good luck. but if you raise it and the only mod is pretty much a cam then you may. it just depends on how the mechanic is feeling. And i wouldnt reccomend anyone listing workshops that have done dodgys or been leniant on the forum, maybe a pm.
Don't get what your asking. The roadworthy never expires, you only need one in Vic if your sell/buy the car or you let it run out of Rego by more than a month. If it got RWC a 2 months ago you shouldn't need one now.
But as far as dodgey's go, my mate had a VH SL/E which leaked 1L of oil per 1000k's and he took it to 4 places who failed it before he found a guy that just had a quick look over and signed the certificate. So I guess if one fails, try another

LOL wut??? How much is a roady these days?? $100??? 5x$100 - probably cheaper to fix the leak and go back to the first place. A complete VRS kit is bugger all and a days labour to r/r motor and fit it all up. Then again - why the #### do it right when you can do it half arsed for more.

A roadworthy certificate has to be no more than 30 days old when you provide it to vicroads to transfer the rego. I transferred my car without a rwc, but I have a limited time to provide the certificate or the rego is suspended until I provide one. But at least the car is in my name already. I thought you could get fined anyway for not transferring within 14 days of change of ownership?
He only payed for the first inspections and took the report and receipts for all the safety related stuff that he fixed himself to different licensed RWC workshops. He gave them a big spiel about him wanting it done quickly while he waited so he could go on holiday that afternoon etc. A couple places didn't want a bar of him, others failed him in 2 seconds for not fixing oil, P/steering and trans leaks and didn't charge him and then he found one guy that hardly looked at the car before passing him. So he got out of it for very very cheap in the end considering what a heap the car was.LOL wut???

Too many projects.....
The roadworthy only lasts 28 days after it's been signed off. So, if you don't present the roadworthy to Vic Roads to transfer the rego in that 28 days, the roadworthy expires and you need to get another one.
As for you mates roady, can i have the name of the place that did it, so i can jump on the phone to Vic Roads??
OP, your mate is a bonehead....You'll be lucky to find someone willing to risk there licence for 1 dodgy roadworthy (yes, that's what you're asking for) these days, it's just not worth it. Mabye he can fix the car and get a legit roadworthy just like the rest of us?
PARTY AND BULLSHIT!
isn't one of the first things you do when you buy a car is transfer it to your name?
i'm just throwing this out there, but maaaaybe if he camed it after a transfer this problem wouldn't have occurred...
Tells it like it is.
So you are saying that he managed to go around to 5 roadworthy places who all had time to look at his car in 1 morning and managed to get to vicroads to get it rego'ed??? LOL - the boy works fast. Not fast enough to fix the problem at hand though
He doesn't consider driving around in a mobile sieve dropping oil *everywhere* a safety related item??? Any car leaking a litre of oil per 1000km should not be on the roads full stop. That much fluid is way beyond the 20c coin of oil after a night parked in a driveway. Interesting order of priorities though - have a safe car or go on holiday....... Yep - half arsed if I ever heard it.
I'll try to use the holiday excuse myself nest time I have the need to do some stupid shit in a hurry.

How does putting a camshaft in your car deem it un-roadworthy?

emissions
i think
pretty sure changing rear springs is about a 20 minute job... jack car up slightly till its about 5mm off the ground, undo bottom shock bolt, jack the whole way up and pull short springs out, install new springs, lower till the shock and bolt hole line up and replace bolt
so its not that much effort to raise it back to a normal height so why not just do that and then go and get an RWC
or you could just get bags. about a 2 second job to change height
bloke i worked with had them and used that to get past a defector you could just get bags. about a 2 second job to change height
although the first time i went in it we nearly died courtesy of the front being too low and the wheel grabbing and locking on the guard
Tells it like it is.
Fails epa emissions regs straight away.

I think you may find it a tad more complicated on a VE.

Customize your life.
I think the last dodgey rwc was done in 2005. since then they do them right. and you want that.
are they really that bad?? heard they were a bitch with some things but thought rear suspension wouldnt have changed that muchI think you may find it a tad more complicated on a VE.
