Failing a Dickson inspection, thats expected... If you own a Skyline you can be pretty sure that you will fail.

What did you fail on?

-need matching width tyres/rims

-suspension is making wheel foul on sway bar or something

-spoiler light not working

-oil leak from gearbox

-aftermarket turbo requires engineers report+ possible emissions test

not as bad as it could have been but still not cool :thumbsup:

Its awsome when the 30c p/l ones are out, fill both tanks in the troopy :D . Helious, you would know Steve from the Manuka store yeh? Has a red AE86 and a red F100.

Nah I only work at epic one and never anywhere else due to staff shortages...almost forgot the smiley face on this line of text... :)

I don't work Fridays only Saturday and Sunday day and I clean the slushie machines on monday and then have my night shift on Tuesday. Like most of us I like having my fridays off, which is how its been since ive ever worked anywhere. As for the 8c, you get a special voucher if you spend some amount of money on your 'Coles Myer Source mastercard' So I keep a spare next to me all the time :)

Anywho spotted a r32 or r33, forgot as was distracted by memory loss, but had a black bonnet...I think it was a r32...anyway i waved :)

And who is it I serve at my work on weekends now and then with the silver r34...you told me you are on SAU :(

Not good...

Staggered fitment wheels and after market turbo will need engineering, but if the turbo is low mounted on the standard manifold, you might be able to get away with not engineering it if you dont tell them that its aftermarket.

I'll warn you though, if you have to get an emissions test and engineers certificate youre up for a fair amount of cash... Probably around $1,000.

But can I ask why you went to Dickson? You might be able to go somewhere else and not have them pick on you so much.

I was told when I changed the rego over to ACT, to take it to dickson, as the rb25 motor meant it had too many mods. So maybe that's why he has to go to dickson. since it sounds like it was unregistered for a time.

Ahh the nightmares of Dickson pit.... I had those days. Many of our MR2 club members get caught out in that too. They pick you on everything including the ones that comply - and I had to make a complaints to RTA guys in the office (not the inspectors).

Not sure how my GTR will comply.

Simon's car is from Vic. Hence his trip to the pits.

You dont have to go to Dickson for that, when I changed my rego from NSW to ACT I just found a workshop that was certified and had a chat with the bloke who does the checks and he said that he would "go easy" on me, so he did it and it passed...

I would avoid the Dickson pits like the plague if it was me...

ive gotta find some wheels to take over the pits but that shouldnt be toooo hard,

they spent a while uming ar arring about the turbo then they got the cranky old scotish guys opinion and he got them to write down non standard turbo fitted requires engineers, possible emissions test.

on the inspection sheet the guy only wrote down "non standard fitted, requires engineers, possible emissions test" .......non standard what fitted :S

Ive got wheels (GTST) that will get you passed, but not sure of how the rubber fared on the skid pan as to whether they will pass. You're welcome to come and see.

As soon as the old Scottish bugger gets involved, youre screwed... Ive heard many many horror stories...

To bad mate, sorry to hear it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
