one of my mates who just finished doing an evo 5 transplant into a ce mirage had these hoops to jump through too, the lucky thing for him was, in his state its funded by the government or sumthin, and he only had to pay a couple of hundred dollars, if you ship your car to the eastern states to get the emissions test done im sure that would work out cheaper?

Depends on the likelyness of if it would pass here or not.

Thats not to say it would pass on the first run in the Easten States or their tests are valid here, and transport each way isn minimum about $1500 +/-, takes 2 weeks, and runs a number of risks that neitheri nsurance or the transporter will cover (unlikely but it is a factor you will contend with)

The first person to roll out of Kostecki's just has to crawl under their enviro friendly Skyline and see what cats Kostecki's use and what else they did, SAU sticky - then we can all do as much of that as posible before Kostecki's - keeps the number of re-runs and the cost down.

Hopefully they f**k this idea off real quick, and dont bring it back until more workshops can support the retarded idea for a price alot more realistic, like the Easten States have.

Hi one and all. I too am finding it funny with the Dpi department here in WA and the so called traffic police. The traffic police themselves don't even know what the actually yellow sticker the car for. I'm working for a aviation company and deal with electronics servicing of aircraft components. I was stop for doing 83km on a 80km road and he wanted dock me in for speeding. My meter showed i was doing 80 i explain and he told me ok well do you want me to yellow sticker your car for a faulty speedo meter? I was like what the F#$K.?

They don't even know what the hell they themselves are doing. What more about jap import cars. I watch the news and read the papers and time after time it the holden commordores, ford falcons that are caught more often then not for Hooning and crashing and killing ppl on the roads! So how the hell did it end up becoming the import car drivers who are they ones who Hoon?

2 years ago a report in the papers in regards to powerful cars on the road and the WA police commisioner interview compared Mitsubishi Evo 8 to a 1979 commordore. And said that the japanese car are more dangerous on the roads on WA. Can you compare a apple to a orange??

I rest my case no more need to be said you make your own decision. So high time we all switch to nothing but Holdens and Fords even if they are crap.

Ok so, what I've been thinking for a while now, is along with Brad's earlier idea (at least I think it was him anyway, can't remember who said what three pages back) and coupling with that email we all got about having to do driver training to stay in Sau, if we're getting more serious as a club (and I know i've only been around for a very short time), but wouldn't it be a good idea if we all had a set of stock parts you're likely to want to replace, and just had them set aside for pretending everybody's car is stock at the pits? For somebody with a big enough garage it'd be a synch, or we could rent one of those storage places in the middle of nowhere? I know a lot of people get busted for low coilovers and struggle to find them for the pits, or tyres or whatnot. I've got a few stock parts I've upgraded lying around and I'd be happy to contribute them to a general SAU pool of parts.

*Middle of the night idea, so if it's shit, sorry for waffling. Uni programming assignments are bollocks*

I'd be happy to contribute to the pool of parts, god knows I have too much stuff in my shed as it is :laugh: Only difficulty is finding someone with the storage space willing to let us keep our parts there.

Good idea i think, but where to keep the parts? and how will anyone go about getting somethin they need? sounds like this will turn into a skyline wreckers joint. Maybe pm or have a phone number to organise a time to pick up a part for a small rental fee where we sign on a sheet what we took and when, then all proceeds can go to skylines aus or somethin for members? i duno just thinkin out loud...

Well I imagine if we had a sticky thread of parts, and somebody just had them in their shed and you signed them in and out it'd work, maybe with a record of which parts came from whom.

I'd offer my shed, because I've got a single garage at the front of my house, and a tripple or quadruple at the back but I'm barely there, and I live with my folks in Kalamunda, and I don't think anybody would like to drive that far.

Somewhere locked would be best though, and (not trying to shanghai you into anything man) Peter's setup would be something i'd be happy with. Maybe we should start a thread asking people for ideas on it?

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
