Dear all,

Sorry, it's me again... as most of you know, my vehicle got defected for performance mods 2 weeks ago... well, just to update you, I've fixed up all my mods (removed mods rather)... so now what is the next step? Take it to a licensed tester/mechanic and get a RWC... after that, what do I do...

I'm guessing I then take my canary and WRC and bring it to VICROADS to get them clear my defect and then I'm free as a bird again? Any other procedures? The following still remain on my mind...

1) I've heard some people say if I got EPA(ed) - it should have been written on the sheet (which I didn't get) and the cops didn't mention it...does this mean I am safe - it has been over 2 weeks now... still nothing from EPA, does this mean I am ok and no need to take vehicle to the EPA?

2) When I bring my car to VICROADS... can I drive it there (on the back of the sheet, it says ok to drive from and to tester/VICROADS, is this correct as my driving period has expired recently but not my 28 days)?

3) When I bring my car to VICROADS - would they personally come out and have a look at it piece for piece or do they take the WRC for what it's worth and then it's stamped and done- deal? CAn this be done on weekends??

Many thanks everyone!!

Regards,

so you were asked to get a rwc were ya?

yeah you just take the car to vicroads, they'll have a look at the paper and see what you were defected for then they'll tell you to put your car in the inspection bay. they'll come out and check to see if your defects have been fixed then they'll tell ya to take the sticker off and off ya go.

There is no such thing as a "lenient" place these days

VicRoads is strict, people found to be giving lenient RWC instantly have thier license removed, and its happened to a number of places i know.

1) Can be upto 6 weeks for the EPA notice to come in the mail.

2) The notices you have are all very clear on what you have to do. Depends when the car was pinged, the last drive date etc.

But the notice will have all that, if you still dont understand, ring VicRoads.

3) It can only be done during VicRoads office hours, if you dont know what they are. Ring them as they are closed on weekends.

As for the car, they might go over it, they might not. Again, you will need to ring up and confirm this

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
