I dove around for a year and a half with no rego sticker aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago in an old beatup KE70 corolla, as long as you dont do anything stupid cops leave ya alone.

ALTHOUGH I do NOT endorse this as with no rego you have no CTP which protects everyone's medical bills in the event of an accident.

Well i cracked my windscreen, hgad to get a second hand one. am waiting on a sticker from the dept of transport... lol worked for me. i was shitting my pants the whole time, though... that was me sitting in a metallic hot pink cressida, (for my fiance) looking like a homo. Fantastic. They just said ok and let me go. i was pulled over at an RBT, and they didnt check the plates... since that day, ive never driven an unregistered car. too scary.

Cant wait to see some pics of it in the sun!

PS if you find the fuel consumption a bit much, ill swap my 25DET for the 26DETT... ill pay for postage too... :-)

What's the go with the number plates? If it has not been complied yet it can't be registered...

Looking vey nice by the way!

yea it was my younger bro's isea to put on the old plates of his. SSSHHH!!!!!! Although the car for registered for 2 days i bought a temp rego for it but want to save of the hassle being pulled over by the cops.

Ska what kinsd of bumper you've got? Also fuel consumption are pretty thirsty if you tharsh it its like me in the onld days guzzling beer!! >_< . Thats why as soon as i found out from Racepace that Power Fc can save fuel i when and bought one in the group buy. so...

BTW took the car in to kamikaze today for compliance. They will start the process on monday and it will take 2 wks then rego. Will keep you guys posted

Mate I just have the ugly stocker S1 bar, as seen here:

http://stagea.st.funpic.org/080305.html

I am pretty sure you dont want to swap you're beautiful bar for a stocker >_<

i will be nuts if i did :sick:

just went and saw my car today at the compliance place today. they told me that its goin to be a delay for about a week for it to be complieed since im the first of its kind that they are doing it. They need to confirm a few things with the engineers. so will let you guys know again next week

BTW there was a white DAYZ and a silver rs4 in their workshop wonder whose is it? anybody got an ideaa?

I drove past kamikaze motors today yudy and i saw your car parked outside, i was going to park my car and go up and have a closer look but i had a few things i needed to get done, let me know when you pick your car up and ill see if i can meet you there,

so we can meet in person

Sure FLY not a problem. I told them i want to pick up the car on a thursday(not this coming thursday but the next want). So i have time to bring it to a mech to check the whole car.

Alex you want to come as well?

Yudy,

would be careful making statements about them ripping you off on a public forum I am sure that someone from there would most likely post on here and word could get back to them and if they still have your car its a bit risky. Also I am sure the fuel tank in the Stagea is different to the GTR so the filter is different and the sump on the stagea is different which brad has mentioned Before during his GTR engine conversion so the oil filter probably is different and if they require genuine parts this may be added cost.

I dont agree with them not giving you a discount for providing your own fluids though but if you said that they were doing this one below cost then maybe thats why they wont move on price. Bear in mind that if it is indeed the first car that they have done they may need to consult the engineers more than they will need to for future cars so this consult is not free engineers charge like wounded bulls so this could be where the added costs come from.

When you signed an agreement with them did you have to fill in a form to agree to them complying your car? I did and it says clearly on the form the price and that there is no discount and that if there is any additiional parts required other than the parts used normally to comply a stock car then I pay for them. I agreed to that and if there is an added cost I need to wear it

My 2c

Flysly I agree with you about price most companies that do both compliance and sell cars are more expensive as they would rather keep the plates for their own stock more money to be made there as the profit margins for compliance are lower than a car quite obviously.

Wildcat found this out the hard way with the guys in Perth who complied her car they took way longer than they should have and were very pricey time delays most likely related to the fact that they have lots of new stock arriving for their yards all the time and these cars are more important to them. I am sure kamikaze is the same and put their own cars first.

You never can tell if someone is Bullshitting you but personally if I have a bad experience with a company I wouldnt be bagging them until I had my car back as you never know how spiteful some people can be and I am pretty sure there is no warranty on complaince work someone correct me if I am wrong.

After you have your car back definately tell everyone about your bad experience and dont go back there but not until then.

good idea mcnamg well to tell you the truth i didnt sign any paper works at all. i was just being told to go drop it off at the compliance and thats it, when i got there i ask them wheter i need to fill out any paperworks?! there said no need and that was it.

Ohh well i guess im just so pissed off thats all cant get a straight answer. I guess im already too far in it already and have to go through it and get my car out from there.

heheh those plates are cool, even if they are temporary... すき in japanese (su.ki), naturally, it sounds like 'ski'... it means 'like', as in ' i like this car!!!' yatta! :P

Edited by imaspy

My complaince workshop faxed me a service agreement with some dotars paperwork and asked me to signe them and send them back they basically tell me that if the car is found to be not suitable for complaince that they are required to send the car back to japan or destroy it at my cost and what those costs are. Also tells me what the go is with regards to needing to provide evidence that the car has been deregistered and degassed and that I have to pay to have it regassed and any additional costs involved with returning the car to stock are mine

heheh those plates are cool, even if they are temporary... すき in japanese (su.ki), naturally, it sounds like 'ski'... it means 'like', as in ' like like this car!!!' yatta! :P

cool what a coencidence!!

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
