Safety cert = RWC doesn't it?

Yeah mate, but not all mechanics issue the certificates.

Try Russel at Autofine performance Labrador, not sure if he does them but he will point you in the right direction.

Oh, I realised that. Most mechanics that do it advertise it as a roadworthy check/certificate (RWC, at least the local ones here seem to), but what you get is called a safety certificate. It's been like that for a few years (along with the changes on selling a car registered with a SC etc)

Ok i would check with the D.O.T. first what the legislation is on some of those defects, because they cant defect you on some shit that they make up.

Fair enough ride height under 100mm you will get done and a bald tyre, but front mount not having mesh thats a new one.

Air filter wasnt it secured properly.

yeah tyhe airfilter was secure but he said that it had to be in a box. he said the intercooler had to be meshed. and the grill (gtr imitation) had to be meshed up aswell. the guy was a loser. when i explained to him thw auto thing he was like (oh im not a skyline speacialist, if its ok then the mechanic will know)

the bloke was a loser

Last time i checked in QLD we only need to secure our pods not actually box them as well.

that is correct. they only need to be secured, not boxed.

check out my thread in regards to something similar to what you've just been defected for -

what is the best way to secure a pod??? I dont think mine is secrued, I didn't know it had to be??

Well zip ties are out of the question.

Some type of metal bracket secured to a solid fixing point.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
