weather isnt that bad, low interest rates, low tax rates, wages are fine as long as you arent a bar attendant i have a mate whos a lawyer over there bringing in the money, and another mate of mine owns a car shop also bringing in the money. Not to mention incredibly low housing prices.

yea i guess if you dont mind the weather and you have a good proffession it can be okay. Im only saying that from a personal point of view because i lived there and i prefer australia. Sorry mods as this is totally off topic.

I didnt see any leaks? But then again I didnt really have a close look.

Told you the HIDs were illegal! lol. BOV I was expecting. I was pretty sure the exhaust was still too low. The window washers all worked!! WTF??

I dont see how your tint was too dark, and I thought you fixed your brake lights?

Glad they didnt notice the lack of AFM, but they seemed to pick up that we'd thrown my cat on :P

Oh well, give Chris's work a call first thing tomorrow morning and they'll try and book you in.

looks like your keeping my noncat for a while rhys... and they were mad about the missing bolts on the cat / exhaust

Your not going to hear me complaining! Haha.

And yeah, I though they might have. Better do a better job with that next time. Forgetting the gaskets wasnt the best idea :P

lol you got reemed!

Some quick tips:

1. get a high pressure washer and blast your car rather thoroughly before going to the pits

2. shouldn't get done for stupid things like brake lights etc, check all fuses and globes before going

Basically they are going to check EVERY stupid little thing (lights, washers, windows go up/down etc etc) before they move on to the big stuff.

What pits did you go to?

lol battery to be vented? I think its personal when the washer squirts lol..That radius rod issue, are the rods really damaged or it just looked oily? I've been trhough the pit with the same problem, because apparently the oil will somehow react with the bush and eventually damage it. but the pit ppl does not care if the bush is still ok or not, once they find oil, they'll tick as a defect. all you have to do is just wash it down clean.

The battery vented problem is that he obviously has a boot mounted battery (in a box) and the box hasn't got a snorkel (bit of tube going from the top of box thru the floor of the boot to the outside of the car).

correct. the radias rods are actually damaged, they are bent in a little at the bottom, easily fixed i think, just get a hammer and a screwdriver and whack them out. I did replaced all the globes previously but yeah it must be a fuse. there is no oil leaks either its just road glimes building up that i didn't get the chance to remove.

just take off the vaccum line on the BOV and block it, that is only to get over the pits, i just got yellowed today for POD FILTERS and my GT wing hehe, only had my car back for a week and yellowed already, i havnt even bedded my clutch in yet, i hope the inspector doesnt floor it when he checks it out

Tell the guy to take it easy because of that, If he f**ks your car then they should be liable to fix it. They aren't gods who are above the law.

permits are not required for pod filters they only have to be secure

pm me your email addy and i can email u a government document stating permits are not required for them

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
