I just took the 300 over to Mornington to have it re-inspected for roadworthy. Apparently theres been some issues and some cars are being recalled.

Has this happened to anyone else? The 300 was first registered here last January.

Yeah i heard this from a few people now, not sure how they can "legally" require another inspection unless the car has been defected :D

Bunch or MOFO's thats what i have to say about that <_<

Transport sent out a letter of request and it detailed the legal justification. All made sense.

Oh ok, well i'll have to have a chat to ya Benno as i have a sneaking feeling i may need to do the same and dont want to get caught out!!!!

Stu,

Seems odd to me?

Any chance of getting a copy of the letter (PM me) - Ill run it through the mill.

Cheers

I had it happen to me on my last car (about 12 months ago) and I just did nothing about it and it never caught up with me...

I think it was because I went to one plance for roadworthy because I got it from the mainland and failed because of tint so I took it to dodgy bros the next day, paid again and it passed so I figured it was becuase of that :)

Yes I would have thought that there would need to be a reason why they recall a vehicle. I suspect it may be as a result of things like internal audits etc that show up issues in their internal paperwork etc. Being a gov dept I know they do have regular audits done. For example if an inspector failed to tick a box on a survey sheet then an audit would require that to be rectified. And of course the way to do that is to call the car back (AT YOUR INCONVENIENCE)!!

They wont tell you that because it makes them look like they stuffed up (which they probably have). Rather they will say "Oh we are having a blitz at the moment".

Cheers

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
