a friend of mine had his car complied recently and is slowly learning just how dodgy a job they did. i noticed some of this on the day he picked it up when i saw that one of the indicator repeaters (which by the way are the ugliest things ever) was about to fall out. with a slight touch of the hand it did fall out and we found that there wasnt even primer around the inside of the hole which was bare metal. after driving it for the day he found that it couldnt reach 1 bar when it was previously running 1.1. he searched around and found that they had installed a 2 inch cat on a much larger exhaust. obviously they didnt give a flying f*ck what went on the car as long as they got there money.

word of warning: if getting your car complied bring these things up before hand cause when its done its too late.

apparently you can't bag the workshops on here but i dont give a f*ck about what the workshops think of me, its just that i know someone else who is about get compliance from there i dont want them to find out and make it worse for him or even not do it.

the indicator repeator is the second indicator that sits infront of each of the doors on the front guards. its an australian design requirement.

Hint: the workshop has been mentioned before on here and seems to be quite a repected place within the import scene.

I agree, After speaking to aybee on the weekend I had a look at mine and my repeaters are the same, rough as dogshit actually. I got mine complied at Carizma. after having the car for a while you can see quite a few dodgy things...but what do you do...there is no recourse for this crap...just buyer beware...

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
