i know rac are now doing dpi inspections, and alot of people have said its better than the pits. however, online, and on the phone they say they do not do modified cars..even with just an exhaust..

my question is, has anyone WITH mods done a dpi inspection with rac?

cheers

ok here's the facts

RAC has ALWAYS done pit inspections, it's just that nobody cared cos DPI did the inspection for a lot cheaper than RAC

RAC does the inspecition a lot harsher than the DPI but now BPI has put their prices up to come inline with RAC so that people are now given a choice to make as to whom they want to inspect their car

i took my car to welshpool thinking i owuld get it easy, i didn't

i got a very extensive work order

i did NONE of the work

took the car to the midland branch, they looked over my car agreed it was fine and removed the sticker then n there

my advice, take it to midland the guys there are just very nice to deal with

Very nice to deal with at Midland, they went over my car with a fine toothed comb (and he was training a new inspector on my car) and all I got was torn steering rack boot, unhung exhaust hanger, bolt pod filter/intake piping down better and make bonnet latch operate easier (gtst latch with gtr grill/bonnet). I was pleasantly surprised!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
    • 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.
