hi guys

went to get my pink slip today, got told its to low.

as far as i know it has super lows, veilside side skirts and also the exaust hangs to low (resignator).

rolls on 18s, for me its not that low.

anyone had the same drama? also an easy and cheap way to fix?

Cheers

Your best bet would probably be to swap over to an OEM suspension if you know someone with a 33T and would be okay with you borrowing theirs for a day.

Failing that, either buy a second hand OEM or some aftermarket coilovers that would pass ADR requirements.

Also, a Coke can is 130mm, not 100mm which is the ADR minimum for a fixed object (WA).

Because your in new south wales i have the examiners handbook right beside me as i done the course not long age and there is nothing in the book to say they can fail you on ride height. if you dont use the place for working on your car only geting the rego done go back to them and say" SHOW WHERE IN THE RULES FOR AIS WHERE IT SAY ABOUT RIDE HEIGHT" and if they cant then they cant fail it for rego. hope this helps you.

another thing is that they cant fail you but the cops can still defect you if it is to low but you can get a pink slip. Did they nock it back for anything else or just the ride height. If they did let me know wat else and ill check the book on whether it is a fail or not.

ok, at the lowest point of the side skirts is about 140mm, front and rear bars are higher.

the reason it failed is because he couldn't get jack under it so he couldnt lift it to check front susp.

also is there anywhere under the front you can place a jack, i'll take it back and tell him to jack it up from the front if i can.

cheers

why would he lift it to check the suspension?

i never heard of that , just go elsewhere

100mm is the lowest point it can be so you are nowhere near that.

I dont know what sort of place you have gone to for a pink slip. When I go it takes 5 minutes. A quick check of the lights and a 1 minute drive to check the brakes and thats about it.

My suggestion, dont let the place you went to touch your car again!

Whereabouts in Newcastle are you?

i'm in the Terrace, i used to take my falcon here as well, never knocked it back once and it was pretty low but you could jack it up at the front. Basicly he said if he can jack it up he would pass it as long as the susp in all good. is there a place at the front under the plastic shroud that it can be jacked up?if i can't jack it up i'll just take it else where.

Cheers guys

+1

Don't they have a pit??????

This is done to check the wheel. They jack up the both sides on the front and grab the wheel and shake it. Whilst the car is jacked they could check the suspension but i would think that wasnt there main intention

To OP that is outrageous if the lowest pint on your car is 140mm high and they failed you for that. Unfortunately if they want to fail you they can regardless of the rules. Just try again make sure everything else is legal too.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
