Yeah I'm coming up to get mine off hopefully, the window's a pain to fix, and they will get your for it man. I just fixed mine a few days ago, but the parts cost $180 :down:

Does anybody have a stock blow-off-valve I could borrow for my trip through?

Also, how hard is tint to get off?

my advice, dont go to welshpool!

in a more high jacking style post, the pits wrote on my form the 2nd time i went through they cant do that correct? as in they cant add to the original list..

They can add to the original list. Really they shouldn't, as the inspectors should be consistent, but they aren't. Seb with his 31 has had way too many inspections than he should have, and no matter what he fixes they keep "finding" other stuff so it's dragged out way too long ;) I know his pain!

Snap! Welshpools my local... i've heard both good and bad things bout the place now :S

Overall it doesn't really matter what pits you go to, as the inspectors can be doing shifts at different pits. The good & bad things is just chance really, as your experience will come down to which inspector is doing your examination.

When I was there getting my first inspection the dude sitting next to me told me he had an S14 which'd failed Welshpool seven times ( :laugh: ) and eventually he'd 'sold' it to a friend and driven to Brookton, took the sticker off, and just asked them to inspect it on the basis it was newly bought, and they were really good, since he kept getting done for things which weren't actually illegal at Welshpool. When he got it back he obviously 'bought' it back again.

As much as that may well just be some dude boasting at the pits, could be an idea for this Seb guy?

PASSED!!!

Was actually quite a pleasant experience... haha

had a couple minor faults. one park light being out (ooops) and said the exhaust height was just on legal limit, but said just wind it up a cm because he noticed the adjustable coilovers and spend $4 on a new globe and on ya way.

Didn't mention anything about tyre widths being different or the 3rd brake light AND no mention of any Im240 test. :blink:

CF Bonnet will not be legal unless the vents are blocked off... makes the vents pointless i know.

dont know about the fenders i would say they are not allowed as they would not have correct crumple zones

coilovers fine as long as the ride height is ok.

you can only have 2 colored panels on a car as far as i know, please some one confirm.

I prebooked an examination at Kelmscott. Saved lining up.

Was in and out in like 20-30 minutes hey.

Coilovers are fine. I passed with them, if anything they helped me pass because my exhaust height was only just legal and he said when i get home just wind up my suspension 10mm or so because he noticed they were adjustable coilovers.

CF bonnets as far as i know are illegal vented or not, due to them splintering instead of just bending in if ya hit someone/thing, becomes sharp.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
