for a Skyline, TECHNICALLY you have to take it to Dickson RTA, though I'll post up my results soon from taking mine elsewhere, lol...

no you dont... only if you have excessive mods. only reason i had to take my car over dickson was because of the coilovers, if i didnt have them then i could have gone anywhere to get it done

you only have to take a car to dickson if its modified. if it is bog standard any blue slip shop can do it. basically the only mods you can have if you take it anywhere other than dickson is an exhaust and a pod filter.

The RTA website listing approved inspection stations says that if it's modified or IMPORTED. Though this website is wrong for many things, so that could be incorrect.

But seeing as Skylines are imported, y'kno...oh well, I'll still post results when I take it to Lanyon next week.

Had mine done at Lanyon, passed . Very happy with how easy it was, PM if you want to know any details about my car that were overlooked. Failed first round on tint (5% lol) and second round didn't even worry about looking, took my word that I got it removed I think. Good guy, obviously appreciates courtesy and respect.

Would recommend.

can someone clarify this?

i got R34 N/a (just muffler modfication), should i go to Dickson or just any regular inspection shops?

if i can go to any shops, i'll take off my coilovers, pass the inspection, get the rego, and install the coilovers again.

anyway, what details the look after? currently my car sounds like WRX (i dont know the problem yet), and i need to pass it asap as i use it to work everyday. is it a big deal?

thanks.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
