Like most cars under RAWS, my compliance tag is in the engine bay, and after a few years of heat & cleaning my engine bay, i am faced with the sticker lifting, which i am worried may just fly out under the car.

can they be re-issued? i was just wondering how you would go if you wanted to repaint ur engine bay or the like. My car isn't as stock as when it was complied, do i have to revert it to stock and meet RAWS full requirements and apply to the DOTARS for a re-issue???

If anyone can help i would appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!

Please if anyone knows the black & white answer please PM me.

I will take a pic of it later, it has just been getting worse since it started to lift.

A reissue is a lot of work. You should contact your original compliance workshop to see if they'll help you out. You MIGHT be able to do this yourself with DOTARS, but it'll also be a lot of work.

We put all our plates in the passenger door pillar for this very reason. I thought most other workshops do this as well, but since I don't use other workshops to comply cars, I guess that was just an assumption.

Anyways, I'd start by calling DOTARS to talk to them, since this is definitely not the first time this has happened, and post here what they tell you, since I'm sure other people would like to know as well....oh yeah, and for people out there, ask your compliance workshop to put the plate on the passenger door pillar, since it's fine to do this as long as it's on the paperwork that way.

cheers,

david

you can get a new one if you are lucky

you will have to get contact dotars , explain to them the situation . take lots of photos , even get a stat dec from a panel beater or engineer anything that might help convince them your not trying to do anything dodgy

easiest thing to do is just stick your old one back down with some hardcore glue

dotars changed the determination to move the compliance plate location from the engine bay to the door pillar a while ago , older imports will have them in the engine bay , its nothing to do with your particular compliance workshop . it was more to do with accident damage and rebirthing than deterioration that they moved it

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
