This has to be the shortest time between yellow stickers ever...

Got my original yellow sticker off last friday morning, had my car broken into and a heap of stuff stolen (seat, guages, gear knob etc..)

Replaced seat and window on tuesday night so I could drive it again

Got a yellow sticker again Wensday morning...

Car is as it was when it went over the pits except with a replacement gtr seat and didnt have a gear knob on at the time, was picking a new one up that day.

Told the officers that it went over the pits only a few days ago and showed them the reciept for it, was told "we are not happy with that inspection"

This one im not taking!!! if whoever is in charge of them does not remove the yellow im lawyering up!!!!

bad luck mate!

similar to your problem my mate got yellow after 1 hr owning his car.

and in that 1 hour he was in the licensing center changing ownership...

drove right out of the licensing centre and the cop stoped him.

call the general police line on 131444 and explain what happened

your car passed on friday - there should be some substance behind the peice of paper that says your car is roadworthy

tell them the officers names and make sure you tell the person on the phone that you showed the officers your receipt

if the police arent happy with the DPI - licensing vehicle inspection units then that is not your responsibility.

your car was deemed roadworthy. end of story.

don't know the answer to your question but i wouldn't pay for another inspection, especially if the car went over as is only a few days earlier...

f*cking feel sorry for you man having it broken into and everything then having to source all the parts then to have this happen to you, quite unfair...

should have what station they are from on the work order copy they gave you...

and yeah, ask to speak to the senior sergeant...

think the easiest way is to call the operator then ask for the station and once you talk to them ask for senior sergeant?

Isn't it ironic that a car like yours which is mechanically running well, the body is in good nick and there is nothing obviously wrong with the car can get yellowed that many times in such a short period, and yet how often do we all see bombs on the road that are belching smoke or panels bent out of shape etc, and yet none of them get stickered.

*shrugs* make the calls, let us know what happens

sorry to hear man and thats some shit luck

but

doubt your gonna win, cops can sticker you if they deem it unroadworthy

cops and pits are to seperate departments and you cant prove you didnt modify the car since you passed pits

easier to just rock up to pits and pay $84.50 and pass it and keep driving

Ive paid 10-15 visits in 2 years, suckkkkkkkk balllllsssssss

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
