I got yellow as well for pod and not having mash at the front bumper 2 weeks ago .

went to O'Connor with all my mods and adjustable coilovers they just told me to raise the car a bit coz the exhaust part was below minimum 100mm.

It all depends who you get as an inspector sometimes they can be nasty or good to you ...

try to keep it as stock as possible no flashy mods and all you lights & indicators ,seatbelts must work and you will be fine.

if you modified turbo ,exhaust manifold,suspension you will need to fill Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14 (VSB 14) from and submit it usually take around 3-4 weeks for form to get processed.

Fees yeah, initial fee is like 87 or something.

Retest 70something.

For the non bookings, if you want first in, get there really early.

I just got there about lunchtime, brought food drink and played games on my phone lol. (Waited 30-45mins-ish)

As for spotting it, I went to the Welshpool one and its next door to the licensing centre there - 4 big lanes with roofs over it so yeah, easy to spot :P

LOL does the oconnor pits accept skylines! hahaha

ok seriously, first inspection fee is $87.40, reinspection fee is $61.00, just go there and you will see which line you have to go to. If you are going for an inspection prior to 830am please make sure you pre-pay your inspection (go to a licensing centre or call 13 11 56 to pre-pay).

Pretty sure it's always been those prices. Farkin bullshit when you have to pay for a reinspection to get an extension when you haven't changed anything... Like when I had to replace the aluminium pedals on my car with factory rubber ones, I couldn't find a factory accelerator pedal so I bought one from Nissan. Was gonna take 4 weeks to arrive so I tried to explain that to the pits. Nope, I had to get the car inspected that week to get a two week extension, then again in two weeks to get another one week extension. Had to pay fucking $185 despite knowing that it was going to fail each time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
