hey so i did a quick search and the results where a little bit old.

im being told different things as was expected, but id like to know what you guys think.

i got a yellow last week, plumbd back my bov and put new tyres on, and now am ready to go over the pits.

now i know it all depends on what inspector u get and what sort of mood he is in,

but what experiences have u guys had?

which pits would u recomend i go to? midland/welshpool ect.

Pick an inspection centre and go there. They are all much of a muchness. As in every other thread you would have found in your search, some guys prefer one centre, others prefer another centre etc etc etc. You wont get a FIRM answer here.

My suggestion is make sure everything on your car is passable (BOV, ride height etc) and make sure everything works (headlights, horn, brake lights etc) , give the car a clean up and make it look respectable.

Then, go to the pit closest to you and good luck to you.

Cheers :)

Tristan, You will probably get alot of those comments. DO a very quick scan through this forum and you will find 5 or 6 threads complaining about getting yellow stickers etc....hence Karls 'useful' comment :)

p.s. Karl was dropped at birth so its not his fault...he is just a 'special bogan' :)

I think everyone is over these threads, but we have been getting a lot of stickers lately, so i guess its to be expected. Might as well help Tristan out, never know when one of us is gonna need help.

Tristan i would say Brad is pretty much spot on, everyone will give you a different answer about where to go, so just go to the most convenient one for you. Make sure everything is working, especially your park lights, they dont even like dull park lights, they gotta be bright. Just listen to the instructor and do what he tells you, basically if everything is legal then you are going to pass, the inspectors are usually quite good.

Good luck man

so i went to welshpool today.

the guy said the cop is stupid and does not understand why he put down the things he did.

but gave me a small list and 3 weeks to fix

my steering wheel is to small? lol never heard of this 1, its jus a rando momo wheel i think duno, was on it when i got the car.

1 of my mufflers hangs below 100mm although rest of car is well above

he said there is a small oil leak, rectify and degrease. how do i fix this? spose see where it coming from and go from there?

and my tyres are not complied?

but all in all was a good result, no imissions test :P although im freakn out about next time i go, he might add that on lol

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
