So car i am looking at is complied but does not have new tyres & when i asked him he told me the above?? Does this mean it's a dodgy compliance?

Not necessarily. Depends who's selling the car and at what stage through compliance it's at. If it's already been through compliance successfully, they may have just replaced them with second hand/worn/etc ones. Nothing to legislate what happens to a vehicle post-compliance.

Is there any way to find out if it is ligit or not? For the car to be registered the RTA would check the complicance etc to make sure it is ligit wouldn't they?

Thanks just a bit worried before i go ahead with purchase

Well check if it's complied and registered that's about it. If it's kosher the owner of the car is free to change tyres as they please. There's no requirement to keep the new tyres on once it's gone through that process.

Check with DOTARS to see if the car is complied, check the car has current rego, but if it has that the owner of the car is free to change tyres as they please. There's no requirement to keep the new tyres on once it's gone through that stage.

checked RAWS & the car has been complied according to VIN number i got off the car & details match those i got from a VIN Check so i guess it should be pretty safe

Thanks for your help

Once a car has been complied the new tyres may be taken off and sold or taken back to the tyre place or used again on another import or whatever.

What they probably did was put new tyres on it then took them off after compliance and put the Jap tyres on. Pretty dodgy morally but technically legal I suppose. It's gonna be you who has to pay for new tyres if you buy that car.

Does anyone know what is supposed to happen to the Jap tyres after they have been replaced with the new ones for compliance?

Is the RAW supposed to destroy them?

Can I get them back?

Cheers,

Ozan.

From my experience, I got to keep my tyres after compliance. I think it comes down to your compliancer, and whether he is nice to you or not. Tyres had 70% tread on them, so I ended up using my brand new yoko's first and then switched back to the GIII's. They were a little hard, but after a track day tehy seem to come good.

What about from a legal point of view? Since I bought the car are the tyres mine and therefore I decide what happens to them?

I checked the compliance legislation and it doesn't say anything about the old tyres. It simply says that new tyres must be fitted.

Therefore I don't see why it's up to the comliancer since the tyres belong to me. Am I wrong here? Please let me know.

Cheers,

Ozan.

It really depends on who is doing the compliance for you.

The ruling is; New tyres must be fitted to comply with Australian Road Standards through the Compliance process.

So what many compliance workshops do is, put on a set of stock rims and tyres for you while the inspectors come out, once they bail, they throw ur other ones on (if they arent too badly worn) and you drive away.

Good way to save some money :rolleyes:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
