however proceeded to pick on the space saver tyre in the boot having little tread and windscreen wipers a bit worn on one end of them (one inch long). Not sure what I can do from here...

Clutching at straws :yes:

Considering some of the POS on the road that are around, I think they were just jealous of your ride.

Best of luck mate.

With regards to going over the pits and which pit branch..IT DOES NOT really matter...

I mean I got yellowed once and ended up getting more defects once I was there (no grill in front of the intercooler, small tear on the drivers seat, steering cololum lever "to hard" to adjust, coilvers)

Ahh coilovers... thats a funny one.

The first inspector failed the coilovers.. (said ride was too hard)

The second inspector passed them with flying colurs.. (quote "it not hard at all" unquote......)

Lesson learned that day.................. wether you pass or fail certain modes depends on the individual inspector!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve generally had good inspectors, I tend to chat to them a bit as they are doing their thing, last one was importing a s14 race rally for track/drift work and had some good advice about what really is or isn't legal for road use. It’s not the inspection that bothers me, it’s the whole bending over and taking it because that’s how it is...

Now who knows where I can find the actual legislation regarding the yellow sticker?

i got a yellow on sat night for blown headlight globes. cop didnt even pop the bonnet so he missed the high mount. BUT he put the yellow on a 90 deg angle to the side of the windscreen for some reason he told me it was cos i wasnt allowed to drive it at night. wasnt even being a flamin mongrel or anything. chances are great that i wil now have a very expensive track car.

Ouch that sucks :) Just peel the sticker off & put it back on straight. If it's on at an angle or far inside the windscreen its sort of like a code to the pits to go ahead & ream you....

When you take it over have the boost as low as you can go & hope you get a reasonable inspector that won't make you get permits, that leads to bulk fun...

dpi.gov.au tells you jack site... I even called them asking for the information or where I could find it and they said they could not help me....

What sort of legislation are you trying to find out? What its for, why they have them, etc etc..

Tough to find them, especially online. But just a quick sum-up they can sticker any car they think has an "illegal" mod or they "suspect" the car doesn't remain within the vehicle standards rules & regulations.

When you go to the pits, whether its for a new rego or a licky, the inspection will be the same. However, the stickers say what they suspect is illegal & it's what they will look at most. In your case now, because the cops were clueless, they haven't given the pits much detail. When you go there, they will have a look at ur sticker paperwork & think oh goody.

So what I'm thinking at the moment with yours, if it's mechanically good & not too loud (everything plumbed back, no leaks etc), and have a good attitude & explain the story to them you probably won't have a problem. If you think playing ignorant will help you can try it, but remember they will have the rego history etc on the system, so if they go to check on that & see you have have had the car for years, but you told them you only just bought it & they said it was stock, then expect problems.

All I'd advise is make an inspection booking to your nearest centre, do anything you have to with the car & take it there. From what you have said here I can't see you having too much trouble if you are just polite & honest about it all.

Found the acts, It is part of the ROAD TRAFIC (VEHICLES) BILL 2007, Bellow is clause 73, there are other parts to it...

73. Form and content of defect notices

A defect notice is to --

(a) be in writing in a form approved by the CEO; and

(b) specify the alleged defect ; and

© set out each direction given under section 72(1) and, if

relevant, section 72(2); and

(d) state when the notice comes into force, being either --

(i) when the notice is issued; or

(ii) a later time.

The part that interests me is the "specify the alleged defect" as writing "post manufacture modifications to comply with vehicle standards regulations" is not specidying any alleged defect...

Thoughts?

Here is a link to the bill for those that are interested:

and here is the link to the Explanatory Memoranda for that bill:

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
