Not bagging you or anything, why not just use some degreaser and clean the oil around the rocker covers? I just did it 2 days ago, pulled of a lot of old oil. Funny when I bought the car tho it got a road worthy and it was all still there. And if it indeed is not leaking, it should stay clean for a while. :P

Sorry I can't suggest anyone however I am also interested in recommendations.

Oh no this is not this time, this just happend to me a car i had ages ago and I just don't want the same thing to happen again.

Cant remember the prices, may have been $100 comming to the house, its more if he comes to visit you, cheaper if you go to him. in and out in 10 mins but ;-) . Also, I used coomera car care ($50) for my line and a friends oil tanker, both passed ok there.

Ok I need to explain my self, I think I may have give of the wrong impression with this topic.

When I said Cheap I litrelly meant, I want someone who does it cheap. My car is in fairly good condition, its not the problem. I just want someone who will do it really really really cheap lol.

dude pretty sure the going rate for a roady is around $50

unless ur trying to say u want a dodgy roady,

in which case i highly doubt anyone would share their contacts on a public forum, to someone they havent met...

Yeah going rate is more like $70 and a Phoneworthy is about $100.....no-one is going to give you a safety certificate for peanuts especially as it sounds like the car won't pass either.

Oh FFS I said that the car isn't crap or dodgey, doesnt anyone read before posting and I've already gotten the Roadworthy first time around for $75.

I bet I could find 3+ items to fail it on, most cars over 5 years always have 'something' that makes them unroadworthy :laugh:

And if you already got one, why would you create a post about getting a RWC, go back to the original guy who already charged you a very reasonable rate.

I went a day after I started this post. And there was nothing to fail, I even asked him to check everything.

Just call some of the mobile guys and be straight up with them, tell them u want the RWC for re registration and that you dont wana pay twice.

Every mobile guy ive used comes out to your place, looks at the outside of the car for 5 secs then writes up the cert and they normally charge about $100.

That's it end of topic! :teehee:

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
