That is very kind of you Volk, ill defiantly keep you in mind if i get defected. Thanks again.

i was done on the night i got my skyline( with my p plates) was done at the bay for fog lights my turbo timer and boost gauge where nicely lite up blue and clearly visable and the cop even looked at it but decided to give me a warning. not saying anything about the mysterious blue light, i was amazed once they left i noticed they parked about 50meters away asif waiting for me

all in all very lucky

Just got out of Regency - went by quite nicely I must say. The guy wasnt too thorough and was quite friendly. Even had a couple other inspectors pop over to checks out the GTR and even asked a few questions... one of them about the baseball bat in the back seat which is a steering wheel lock in the shape of one lol

Failed for R/H and L/H front top control arm bushes - understandable, the wheels wobbled like they were going to fall off haha

steering back boot split - easy fix

No defect issued and only the failed items will be re-checked.

Hopefully Boostworx comes through with the goods tomorrow as they said so I can fit them up for my re-inspection on Friday!

If not Auto Parts Professionals can get them in that day for you. They got front upper inner and outer nolathane R32 GTS-T bushes in that day when I called up, took about 4 hours for them to get delivered, not to mention they were cheaper than anyone else I called.

They are on main north road next door to city dismantlers and their number is 8260 2044

Had the re-inspection today... passed but this inspector discovered a couple things the previous inspector didnt but because it is a re-inspection he couldnt add more things to the list to send me away again so he passed me. I replaced the bushings on the upper control arm as told but there was still play in the front driver's side and it was coming from the knuckle ball joint thing... and it had un-tagged braided brake lines(non-ADR approved).

That was good of them to not make you come back. I've heard stories of being going back 3-4x

I had a similar issue where they noticed play in the wheel, put it down as wheel bearings but it was in fact hicas arms, was lucky the mechanic picked it up.

Had my car defected tonight at the new Gepps Cross Shopping Centre, was a car cruise, was doing nothing silly, cops swarmed in and went over everyones cars. I got done for a Boost controller unit that isn't even plumbed up/connected or anything, exhuast too loud, exhaust flap silencer, ride height 20mm under legal height on rear, front was ok, coilover suspension, pod filter. Total $681 fine, but because i have the car registered with 2 names between me and another member in my family as joint drivers, the officer tells me they will also receive a $681 fine. Thats rediculous i say. So here it goes to get the car ready to go through regency, anyone got anyways to help me out. Much appreciated

$681!!! what the f**k since when is getting defected a fine able offence?

Im dumbfounded. I would fight this in the court. Theres no way they can make two people pay the same price for the one minor offence.

-D

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
