in answer to what chubbs asked. if you deregister the car cause you dont want to clear the defects yes you still have to pay the fines but no you dont have to clear the defects. but if ever you sell the car to someone else and they try to register it they wont be able too because it will be still noted on the RTA system as have defects. but it would have to pass a blue slipp anyway if it was out of rego long enough.

so it would just be a pain in the arse to get reregistered again.

but yeah use the money saved and buy a tow car.

Hey all , i got screwed 2 weeks ago at the Rat Park defect station im my crappy N13 pulsar daily driver , 14 X Rta Defects , 3 X Decc defcets , they have made me even put my stock extractors back on , and it has taken 3 inspections at $60.50 a visit to get it right !! ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE ! good luck Paul getting the Skyline cleared!

i have a R34 GT-non turbo, damm p plater laws, anyway i once got defected in a wollies carpark on christmas eve, while my car was turned off and parked, they searched my whole car for like half an hour and couldnt find anythin, so in the end they just gave me a defect for my gear knob not having a 'H shift' pattern....all the engeneers in town were shut for the nxt few weeks cos of the holidays and that, so i had no car for 3weeks over the christmas holidays.....hate damm NSW cops

I thought you had 30 days to clear a canary, where you could still drive the car around? You must have failed the attitude test hard if they red stickered your car for missing a gearshift pattern.

The period you can drive around for is up to the cop Alan. One time myself and chris were being defected at the same time I got 7 days and he got 14.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
