Hey every one

I originally had a yellow about 4 months ago and i couldn’t get it off as my engine had oil leaks and reverse wouldn’t engage sometimes.. at the time i was in the process of buying a r33 half cut, so i thought i might as well do the conversion and go over.

After finishing the car off i went to pits and they straight away said they can’t approve this and i need engineering certs. Thinking its better to do the right thing now, i put through the forms to be approved. It took about 3 weeks so then again i needed to extend my yellow (3rd time now). Afterwards i then had to find a approved engineer, as all of you who have been through this knows you get a piece off paper with the names and numbers, i chose Don Stevens.. I came to hes the day that suited him and got the whole car checked out he said everything looks fine and there isn’t any problems and said he will processes that. That was approx. 1 and a half months ago and i still have not received any letters/certs. When i rang the engineer throughout the first few weeks after looking at my car he stated that he was busy and he still hadn’t looked at processing the papers for my car. Today i had to go to pits again this time the pits complained to me that i should hand in my plates and not drive it. I said back “that’s unfair, this is not my fault and it’s my daily car”.. so in the end the pit guys had a talk about it and said they will extend it for 10 days..

Guys i need your help, is there any way i can get this yellow off or what should i do? Im starting to get sick off this, especially when I followed the rules and did the right thing yet it seems like they don’t care much.

If anyone has had any experience and got something sorted to remove the yellow please let me know.

Thanks guys,

Niran

Yeh put a bullet up the ass of the engineer or the DPI, threaten them with ACCC action. The engineers have a duty to provide that certificate to you, and they havnt...

Hassle, hassle hassle...

Keep making phone calls untill they get their asses into gear...

I used Don for my other 33 & had no problems, he was good! I've got pre-approval for my current 33 & was going to use him again, best bet is just to call him & speak to him again, pretty much just explain your situation & see what the deal is. Not much can be done posting up on here

have you recieved a letter asking you to hand in your plates? cause the date on the yellow will be different to the date of actually having to hand in your plates. when the yellow expires i think you have another 2 weeks or more i think but you cant drive the car unless you are going to the pit. this happen to me when i got the letter it gave a date when they should be handed in etc etc. then i finally got the report a day before i had to hand the plates in. should be ok if you can find another car to drive around in

Only thing i can think of is contact the engineer and see what he has, if he still hasnt done it contact a different engineer and see which can get it done asap.

hey man, yep gave him another ring tonight.. he said it will be done by tonight, i told him i will come and pick it up instead off him posting it so it gets done quicker.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
