Passing Rego Inspection

[zebra]

I never once said I did that on public roads. That's just stupid and irresponsible.

Just how I read it

Getting the car tonight. Compression check, spot on. Rego check - PASS!

I put the stock rims on, and all was fine.

Number plate lights are out, and so is the wing light, but it was passed - just was told to fix those - as they are things I'd get booked for if drove it like that.

So now can somebody tell me how to fix/replace the lights for the wing...?

The wing lights are LED's yeah?

[zebra]

Oh and Troy is Lanyon Service centre the one near the BP on Tharwa Dr?

Gotta rego the Soarer in a week or so

Edit - found them, they are in tuggers

[Trozzle]

nononononono, wherever I went Andrew, it was about as close to the DIY car wash in Lanyon as you can get...

That's the place.

EDIT: Ok pending pass, i gotta fix numberplate lights and wing light.

It may just we wiring. I'll get somebody I know to take a look monday.

Simple enough fixes.

Took it to : Premier Automotive Repairs, 5 Winchcombe Lane, Mitchell - 62428450

Great guys there. They replaced one of my wheel studs that was stripped on my Pulsar also.

NP, I don't want to be thought of as a fool or irresponsible or get myself banned for something coming across wrong.

The wing lights are LED's yeah?

yeah I think so... might just be wiring, not at all sure.. Just gotta take a look and fiddle and see if can sort em out, asap. Least those fixes won't cost me a fortune.

Oh they did note "Advise: exhaust height at 100mm". Rear exhaust as it curves under the rear axle it sits at at 100mm, long as as I don't put to fat bastards in the back it's all good. Plus the suspension is stiff enough any way.

Thats what i thought the 1st time, google lied to me the bastards lol, its good but, like 2mins from my house

[J'son]

Hey, can you guys help me better understand the differences between S1, S2 and S1.5 cos this is a S1.5 and has elements of both together. I read the thread on the differences between S1 and S2, but still bit lost.

[Trozzle]

I think I read somewhere that s1.5 was just s1 with factory options that s2 came standard with, like ABS and airbags....I'll let someone clarify though

[zebra]

S1.5 has the S2 motor, a different wing, and a couple of other things as said above

[Trozzle]

lol wtf is the diff with the motor? I thought the coils was the only thing

[zebra]

Yeah coils and the turbo got a nylon compressor wheel, different CAS too, so the cams arent interchangeable

[Trozzle]

ah fair enough.

More or less, no difference. Coils are old enough that their original quality is negligible as they're probably about to fail anyway. CAS probably wouldn't make much difference if any. Turbo....well, same sorta deal as the coils - but if my series 1 turbo is anything to compare to, you won't have any worries running it at 11psi all day every day, which is just shy of hitting R&R anyway.

[J'son]

Thing is, this one has the S1 front grill, and lights, S2 rear lights etc, but S1 Grey bar with SKYLINE on the back.

Thats all I really knew for sure.

It has NO abs nor does it have either drivers or passengers airbags.

Not sure if actually is S2 engine or not (turbo, coils etc)..

[zebra]

Pics of car, will soon show us what what series it is

[Randon_I_Am]

or come out on friday night...

[MIVEC]

or come out on friday night...

Agreed.

[J'son]

or come out on friday night...

Will see if can, if not this week, next for sure.

What time do you guys meet there though?

[zebra]

they usually meet at 1030.

Im gonna try and be there this week, might bring a mouth guard though, cant remember who in the ACT section I have pissed off lol

[J'son]

I have one pending problem that discovered this arvo when collected the car back from the mechanics... They'd not hooked something back right and now it's misfiring.. So gotta take it back and make em fix it in the morning... Damn bastards. This is why I don't like going to mechanics.

We had a really good look and can't find anything, so gonna have to get em to strip it back to the plugs like did today for the compression check, and they better have it sorted for me. I'm so pissed off.
