Cheers, I think ill go with the HEL lines just because they have lifetime warranty, Safebreak only has 5 years. I did go to a place here that makes the lines but they wanted 90-110 per line, was cheaper than buyin em from supercheap and all that too, so woulda been about 5-600 for a set. Looking...

I've got a VZ SS and I bought some SSZ brakes to chuck on so I thought I'll get some braided lines while I'm at it, anyone have any recommendations? I was going to get a set of " HEL " lines off ebay for 270 Heres the link...

Ye I doubted that myself haha, Its pretty evident they fiddled with me tune and obviously couldnt get it to pass emissions so a new tune was put in, My old tune they flashed back in is just not the same as it was. Think I might just get a complete retune on the dyno to be honest, not very happy...

Got me sticker off a few weeks ago :) All mods permitted! ready to go! I got my old tune flashed back in as It was re-tuned to pass emissions. Seems like they fiddled with my original tune though because its still running a little too hot and when I put it in " Park " it revs out to 1800-2000...

ayy thought id let ya's know whats been goin on with the SS, so I took her to a mechanical engineer, ( had to wait 10 weeks for paperwork to even take the car there ) he welded the stock cats on with new tune etc, wouldn't pass emissions. Got Euro 5 cats put on, passed emissions first attempt...

ye I think ill get the eng certs done first if its not too expensive and I hope so for the friendly inspections places, gonna try avoid the main government owned inspection centre for sure and go private just gonna have to do some hunting around

ye I tried to get in contact with them and left message they arnt interested sadly, ive got most of it worked out now anyway, goin to chuck on some stock cats and exhaust manifolds, little bit of ethanol, might have to change my exhaust to stock as well but I'm sure that will get my car over the...

but its just not as good without the cam so ye, dno if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they woulda pulled the stall off and some other **** so wtf was the point of buyin the car if its gonna get pulled apart? ya know what I mean

ye your right there mate

I said big headed...and I couldn't get my plates because the tuner who had my car was away over east somewhere for weeks.......and ye the law doesnt give a **** so i get fined....im not rantin, just tryna explain the story in my own words...N if ya don't like it.....

man whats with you big headed people hey, I got done in a parking lot....didn't even have my foot on the throttle, also no n cheers for the positive input mate

lets just see how much its going to cost me, ill let you know.

I did everything I could, I'm pretty sure he wasn't going to do that anyway, he had the car for 2 months n didn't even start doing it. I'm about 99% sure he was just tryna drag it out so he didn't have to do it.

ye I cant register it, I was supposed to hand my plates in because I got the work order/sticker around 3 months ago and because I have not got the work order done for X amount of time I cannot register the vehicle at all now until I get the work order done, that's what they told me when I spoke...

ye already done that

ye spoke to some mates n they reckon should be fine with permit too, ill try it out

ill go get that stock exhaust manifold and cat thing n chuck it on see what its like

its because I have had the sticker on the car for about 2-3 months now she said, I cant even register it at the moment until I get the " sticker " work order done

Ye the lady at licensing centre said the cops will try and take my plates most likely even if I'm driving to inspection centre

Ye damn that would be sweet haha, $80 seems like a good price? Ye are the CATS inside the exhaust system somewhere? Seems like a good plan though as I've got to get it towed to inspection and towed home if it doesn't pass.

right so I've got the car back now, all tuned and running lovely but I still have the sticker. I'm not exactly too sure what's been done as of yet. I have phoned up the licensing centre and apparently I have to get it towed to an inspection centre, its not toooo loud but its quite lumpy and...

nah I haven't, no further news sadly, going to try and get in contact with him in the morning

ye ****, ill keep ya up to date with the news looks like ill have to go back to stock cam and maybe exhaust and cats to get over pits then chuck back on and then get an eng cert, Eng cert I should have gotten with the car in my opinion. I don't think dealer will wanna pay for that though, eng...

Phoned up about 5-7 tuners here in perth, blokes never phoned me back. left messages with all of them....guess they don't need or want any work ay

How much would it cost to get the cam put back in and retuned etc? like 2-3grand?

I cant really sell it back to him because ill loose too much money :( Traded in my old car aswell, works out id loose around 4grand +

I shoulda just bought a fuckin stock car n modified it myself!

Ye I think I should go with the engineer cert's for cam n etc because really I should be able to make the car dealer pay for that. Technically speaking this car should have been certified by an engineer before he sold it off. Ye I'm not too sure if I want to take the cam out. Car dealer has...

Found this ad, https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/canning-vale/cars-vans-utes/permitted-486hp-2012-ve-thunder/1156968559

Ye that sounds about right for the cam " permit " thing. I put a link earlier in the thread for a car I found on gumtree that's got a cam and states permitted in the ad, check that out. It is super bloody lumpy so really ye its a dead give away. Ye I asked him for the part number weeks ago, I...

ah ****, thought you could permits for this ****? I'm not too sure the coppa asked me if I had any permits for the car

if I wanted to get the cam specs, would you have to pull it out to measure it?

ye ive already contacted consumer affairs they are keen to help me but I didn't want to sick them on the bloke. It is a ******* headache but I cant find anything else like it around here, it actually drives really really well. I fixed a heap of **** on it aswell myself like the door actuator and...

have you got much smell on idle Harrop? car dealer reckons the cam is too big to get passed, but ye if I go ethanol?

ah well that's alright then, might have to tune on ethanol to get permits and over pits? then tune back to petrol?

ye I'm not too sure what to do & ye I am making the car dealer pay for it all. Basically even if I get the sticker off and a permit for the cam and an emissions cert, they can still sticker me again?

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/warnbro/cars-vans-utes/ve-ss-450hp-permitted-/1169004957 This car would smell similar to mine surely, so even with a permit you could still get a yellow sticker with this hey?

When the cam is fitted do they give you a certificate for it?

Ye that's what I've been thinking of doing. I phoned active every week for weeks and left messages for the tuner to call me back. This was about 4-5 weeks before Christmas. I never heard back from the bloke....I also phoned up nearly every other tuner in perth and they are the bloody same.
