hey man, go to midland if u can....ive been through 5 times and they have been really leniant, example, had my tints dark and they said it was a minimal mod so they let me through and asked me to get them removed....

they are good, compared to other places. Also all my mates have imports and they go there alot too and never have a fuss

There's nothing wrong with a corolla! They never die.....

How did this subject end up on corollas?

thank you! bcoz he was bagging mine out :verymad: u wait till 2morro night when i get my 13.5 sec down the 1/4 :)

anyways back on topic, welshpool are good, but like i was saying before it all depends on who you get

Once again, the guys at Midland pits have done the righty by me. Got the sticker off this morning and the inspector was very nice.. he even joked about seeing me next week because the cops like to pick on cars like mine, he on the other hand, said he quite enjoyed them and that they are nice cars. Top bloke :(

Already had permits for fmic, pod, full exhaust, adjustable suspension (coilovers, swaybars, camber/castor bushes) and bov. Also have an RB30DET in there.. so I would say far from stock :w00t:

haha dude just bite the bullet n take it over the pits man nothing bad will come of it trust me on that

they may give you a few more work order items they may even take some of the police officer's orders off!

but you gotta get it done dude!!

Yeah, or if your chasing permits you can wait a month to hear back if your application is accepted or not, then talk to an engineer who will tell you he is doing about 5-10 cars right now & won't be able to get to yours for a while. Then he can tell you once he's run the tests etc and that paperwork gets handed back to the DPI, it's another month or whatever to find out if that's accepted for final approval. /no lube

Anyone got a gun? Will pay for death.

easy tiger everything takes time yeah its slow at times but thats just the way it goes after all there is alot of people applying for permits, engineers going through 5-10 cars daily etc thats just the price you pay i guess for owning an import(modified vehicle) you need to be prepared to have these hiccups.It sucks thats for sure but at the end of the day its your car and you choose what you drive :P

Sounds like i should of taken the VL down to midland instead. I went to East Perth and i only passed it on the 4th time because they kept "finding" new shit wrong at each inspection.

There is this guy their ( i call him Himal) because he is an inspection Nazi ) and he wont pass anything. I saw him fail a few brand new cars ffs.

they aren't supposed to find new things wrong!

their job is for INSPECTION

to get EVERYTHING diagnosed, then RE-INSPECTED to check the work order

golly, they need to find these things in the first place unless it's major enviro / road safety issue ie oil leaks / broken steering boots / failing brakes etc

GOLLY GOSH

wuick thing about those mod permits, they take a long time, and as previously stated, the police and the DPI have NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER

so you can have all these stupid permits but if i police officer wants to defect your car he will permits or not

and if you have mods then you can get them over the pits regardless of mods or not

i don't even know why they have them i guess it's to keep some jobs in DPI but still the DPI don't care about them n neither do the police?

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
