not all defects need roadworthys you can get defected and only have to get it cleared at vic roads it all depends on what the cop puts on the form i got defected but didnt need a roadworthy all i had to do was get it cleared at vicroads. it all depends what the cops say and they put on the defect form.

You definitely have a S1.5, which requires an airbag wheel.

My mate removed his airbag globe from his dash when he had to get a roadworthy, as the light was always on, and failed inspection as the airbag light did not come on when the inspector turned the key. Mind you he still had the std airbag wheel fitted, so if you where to fit a non-airbag wheel it would probably pass as the inspector may be non-the-wiser.

is that wire the only loose wire in the steering column,

was it connected to anything before with the old steering wheel.

the airbag light problem could've came up when you remove the old steering wheel if the previuos owner put a resistor in the Airbag plug but it got knocked or pulled out when you removed your old steering wheel.

hope that makes sense :D

Just wondering, only just read me defect notice tonight, if im reading correctly you have 7 days to drive the car, after those 7 days you can only drive the car for another 21 days to have it tested or repaired AFTER the defects have been fixed, after that time the rego is suspended, is that right?

I have attached a front and back copy of my defect, the bits im referring are the first instructional bit on the back which refers to section 4 on the front but section 7 says that i have up untill the 4th of march before the rego is suspended.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
