Stage 1 cams

Sound like he has has a notice to see the DECC. I got one of those on my last car. Is that what the notice has on it? If so he has to remove nearly everything. They not only look at what the defect is for. They look at everything. The inspection is called "anti tampering" so anything that has been modified.

I was also told by the police who issued me the notice that if the car was caught again with the same parts back on it registration is cancelled on the spot. They took photos of everything.

Did your mate have all that happen? If he just got a normal defect then PM me and I can help him through it.

None of the items listed below is owner-approvable according to the RTA.

Stage 1 cams

z32 airflow metre

injectors

spitfire coils

hks turbo

hks cooler

apexi fc Controller

Apexi POD

Electronic boost contoller apexi

Bosch pump

He can get the above items engineered.

atmospheric bov

This will not be able to be engineered and will have to be removed.

As will the CF bonnet and pillar gauge.

Exhaust is an owner-approvable modification _provided_ it meets the noise requirements.

Engineer should also be able to sign off on hole after appropriate reinforcement.

All of the above is "to the best of my recollection" - for a definitive answer, he needs to talk to an engineer.

It depends what your mate wants to do.

Putting the car back to stock, then getting it inspected should clear the defect. That will cost time and money. If he does that, then puts the bits back on he's liable to be defected again.

An engineering cert usually runs $500-600 and there's work to be done before it can be engineered. Also time and money.

What I would do:

Advise your friend to download the list of engineering signatories from the RTA website (it has names and contact details) and have a chat to a few of them.

He needs to tell them exactly what he has, they will tell him what needs to be changed before they will sign off on it.

Some are more "lenient" than others; basically, what he wants is a cert from the one that requires the least to be done to the car.

Man Australia really has some shitty laws. I drove my car through the inspection station here in Japan a few months ago. It was too low to drive allthe way through, so everybody behind me had to back out so I could leave, no interior except for drivers seat, 1 seatbelt and speedometer. PASS. they checked for a cat. conv, correct engine for chassis, mileage, and do the lights and horn work. I feel really bad reading all your stories of getting pulled over for such technical stuff.

fixed...

If you wore your burka in France, it'd be outlawed and you'd get defected too. :)

Check out the regulations.

If your car complies to a degree, you may not have to do everything

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/veh...ards/index.html

search for the applicable issues, it's typically messy pdf's, but it's in there somewhere

good luck !

Take the car to a mechanic who clears defects they will tell you if you have to go to RTA inspection station in which case things will be a bit more serious but it sounds like its just a basic defect notice. Not saying you wont have to remove parts these days even a basic defect notice will obligate you to do this. Someone correct me if im wrong but ive been told that as long the car isnt air bag equipped the pillar mount are passable but the R33 would have one so that will have to go as will the bonnet

Wow, only in Japan! Imagine if Australia was like that..

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Duncan · Posted

      Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
