Do you need a RWC, or are you looking to clear a defect?

Assuming you're just after a RWC, to be honest you shouldn't have a huge issue with your car. Wind up your suspension if it's below the 100mm requirement, make sure your lights all work, pod is secured (that's sometimes enough) or in a sealed box, tyres are legal, steering wheel isn't stuffed, your gear knob has a H pattern on it, brakes work properly, it's not insanely loud etc and it should pass easily. The only issue you might have is with noise as the HKS Super Dragger isn't exactly silent. An exhaust shop should be able to put in a resonator or something for fairly cheap if you're worried about it, speak to Rob Bliss if you're northside, he's very reputable and knows his stuff.

Don't feel silly btw, you'll find most people on here are pretty understanding :dry:

thanks for your help guys!

no it hasnt been defected, basically i bought it last wk under the impression it had a rwc already.

Sill me didnt actually read it properly and it has expired so i now have to get anotherone to change it into my name......

i was also told it had 6 months rego on it and again i didnt actually read it and it is about to run out

if i had known both of these things daniel would have been able to get them sorted for me before he left but now hes away for 6 months so Im left too feel like a silly little girl and try organise it myself

Oh and to make matters worse im not from Brissy so i dont know where to start which is why this is just getting me really worked up....

grrrrr

Awwwwww dont feel silly!

I would also try and contact the original place that did the RWC. It might make things a little easier for you.

I bought mine from a dealer and they took care of putting it my name etc, but a friend had to do all this for her last car also so I know how annoying it is finding out the certificate has expired.

Hope it all goes smoothly!

      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.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
